1 - Use the air

Edit

It is available to everyone. Take a deep breath and hold the air. Squeeze your nose, cover your mouth, and exhale sharply. The air will flow through the eustachian tube into the ear canal and push the ear wax plug to the exit. If you can't remove the ear wax plug the first time, don't try again. It means that the plug is too big or deep. Try the options below.

2 - Try flushing it with water

Edit

Draw warm water into a small syringe and direct the jet into the ear canal. The pressure of the water will wash the ear wax out of your ear. It is not painful. Sometimes several treatments are needed. Be sure to dry the ear after the treatment.

3 - Put the drops in

Edit

Some drops dissolve the wax. Put them in the sore ear and wait for the substance to work. It usually takes a few minutes. Next, tilt your head. The earwax will come out together with the drops. It is a simple and painless option for those who do not want to visit an ENT.

4 - Make an appointment with the doctor

Edit

If you have any problems with your hearing or ears, you should visit a hearing doctor. In the case of an ear wax plug, a specialist will remove it quickly and painlessly. There are special medical instruments for this purpose.

5 - Use candles to remove ear wax plugs

Edit

Candles are not the safest option, as you'll need a helper for them to work. Put a candle in your ear and light it. As the candle burns, a vacuum will form in your ear, which will push the ear wax out. The method effectively solves the problem, but it also has side effects.
