    Ok so I think I have this problem where I need to go to the doctor and clean my ears like once every year or two. I'm not talking about the wax or that stuff.. I'm talking about the deep inside stuff that my pinky can't reach.

    So I haven't gone to get it cleaned for about 4-5 years and I did a lot of swimming and beach stuff for Spring Break and now recently my right ear has gotten clogged up.. and my hearing on that ear has gone for the $h*tters.

    So is there a safe way I can fix that myself or do I have to go to the doctor? I've always had this fear of the doctor ever since I was but a young lad.

    Just whoosh it out yourself.

    There is a little rubber like ball thingy you can buy that is usually used to suck the snot out of babies noses.

    Just get it, get in the shower, get some warm water into it, insert it in your ear and WOOSH it out.

    All clear !

    Or you could go to the doctor, and they will give you ear drops......but wooshing works for me....

    As long as he doesn't suck out his ear drum, he should be OK. :eek:

    I recommend using something sharp like a mechanical pencil or your car keys to clean out your ear.

    Go to a doctor, it does not hurt, they use some kind of a liquid on you.

    Well I don't know.. I don't know much about ears but I was afraid (as Deckard mentioned) to mess up my ear drums. Maybe it's just me.

    You don't have to go to the doctor for this. Trust me, I have had this problem my whole life and just cleaned out my right ear this past Saturday. Go buy you a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and get you one of those bulbous syringes/droppers (Uprising posted a picture of one in his post). Pour hydrogen peroxide in your ear - you will get a bubbling sensation (that's normal). Let it settle for awhile and then lie down on your right ear, using a washcloth or paper towel for it to drain. Then go into your bathroom, fill up your sink with warm water and put your syringe/dropper in there. Fill that thing up with water and start blowing water into your ear. Your hearing will become unclogged after doing this. Doing it this way will probably save you $100 bucks or only $15 if you have health insurance.

    This should work. And the advantage is that you can do it while in a meeting, or at a restaurant.

    Exactly

    If you don't have that, a firecracker would blow it out and it fits quite nicely.
