Hi fitRecently went on a longer than usual jog in the wind , that was on Sunday. My right ear has been completely blockedCan barely hear a thing out of it. At all, I’ve tried loosening it in the shower, ewe buds etc but nothing helpsMy GP doesn’t have a slot open until late Saturday but I can barely drive or talk because it’s completely stuffedAre there any home remedies for blockage in a ear? It’s driving me crazy. Been almost 5 days now Is there anything I can do
>>74227991Make some tea. And when it's cool enough to drink put some in your ear with an eye dropper.
I cleared an impacted ear using saline and a small baster. I blasted my ear a few times and a giant ball of wax came out.
>>74227991Get ear drops and let them sit in your ear for 20 minutes then use an ear bulb to wash it out with warm water. Then suction out the remaining water. You may have to do this for several days to get it clear.
>>74227991either sinus related or get some elephant ears for ear wax
>>74227991any other symptoms? sore throat? has it jumped to the other ear yet? I just recovered from a similar one pain so bad only an ice pack helped...had to wait a week to see the doctor, best of luck anon..
>>74228424My ear gets blocked once a year. This is the answer and what your GP would recommend
>>74229917Nope just eat fortunately. I’m just terrified it’s fucking tinnitus because it’s been like this for 5 daysBut idk if I’m freaking out over nothing. I think I’ll just need to find a clinic that cleans it >>74229930Is there immediate relief when they pop it?
>>74227991Don't use cotton buds, they made mine worse, just drove the clag further in. You might be fucked for a while, anon, I had the same and I remained partially deaf in one ear for about 6 months until one day woke up and everything was back to normal again.
>>74230092How did you just accept that?You didn’t even see your gp to get it cleared out lmao?
>>74229978Yes it is immediate and yes it is incredibly satisfying. I went to some urgent care to get it done the first 2 times and then once I figured how they do it I just started doing it myself. Ya gotta be patient with the ear drops and use them for a few days before you attempt to unclog the ear. Once it’s soft enough I use like a syringe and shoot warm water into my ear, careful to do it at an angle so as not to fuck up my eardrum
>>74230104Yeah don’t listen to this anon that’s fucking retarded. If it is earwax it is incredibly easy to get out and should not take more than a week
>>74230104Nah, I tried >>74228424 which didn;t work for me and just gave up, accepted my fate. You get used to it after a week or so.
>>74227991you need to buy something called debrox. its half hydrogen peroxide and half urea. if you put it in your ear it softens your ear wax. you might have to do it multiple times (do it like once every 12 hours, no more) for it to clear your ear
>>74227991Olive oil (has to be pure olive oil as that's the active ingredient), cotton wool balls, a hat, and a shower.Fill your ear up with olive oil, put the ball over your ear to keep the oil in, and hold it in place with your hat. After 30 mins or so carefully rinse it out in the shower (don't blast it, your eardrum is easily damaged).You'll probably have to repeat it several times over a few days.
>>74227991>but I can barely drive or talk because it’s completely stuffedFuck man you're pathetic. Life will bring a ton of pain to your bitch ass.
GP in a third world shithole here.Sounds like wax impaction.No-one should use earbuds ever.Just put sweet oil in the affected ear for like 3-5 days in a row to soften the wax like that other anon said.Then irrigate the ear with warm water using a syringe.Often a wax jelly bean pops out and the person feels instant relief.Probably not a bad idea to let someone look at it first to check there isn't a perforation, though.
>>74227991Had this once. Used one of these from Amazon. WAGMI.
>>74227991Go to a doctor right away, it could be rapid onset MSt. A friend woke up one day realizing he has lost his hearing in one ear, got diagnosed with MS.
>>74233109>>74230137i will keep you updated
>>74232810Just remove yourself from the world , it literally makes no difference or not to anyone if you’re here my nigga
>>74227991Watch this
>>74227991>OP doesn't post coom bait>gets a thread full of good responsesLet this be a lesson. Also OP idk how to help, sorry. I wouldn't worry about it being tinnitus because that's damage from loud noises like a metal concert or shooting guns without protection. Wind most likely isn't going to be that loud.
>>74235629You’re not OP I am!>>74235725Amazing movie , love Riz AhmedUPdate guys, Went to a doc, he didn’t want to flush it so soon. Gave me drops and checked it. No damage or anything, told me to use them for three days max, come back then if it’s still plugged. Is this a decent response? Also thanks for you all being bros >>74235771desu I didn’t expect all the useful advice. Was a bit freaked out bc I had to run back home barely hearing shit kek, hopefully this will sort me out
>>74227991If it's earwax that's stuck in there then lie on your side and fill your ear up with hydrogen peroxide. Leave it in there for a couple minutes and enjoy the bubbles then roll over onto a rag and let it drain out. You might need to do it a few times for it to soften it all up depending on how blocked it is.Although, I think I've read you're not supposed to use it on a super impacted ear, so read up on it first. It worked on my earwax cork though
