Just 2 drops will get the wax slick enough in there to just yank it out. No hassle really. I know this sounds weird, but butter works very well for me.

I have been sick already, but the wind made me get a ear ache. My mother friends works at a pharmacy and got me Sweet Oil. I put it in my ear and laid on my side for a few then placed a cotton ball in my ear. It was fine in a few minutes! :) Today, I had an accident where my ears where aching terribly.

Then you put a small amount of cotton in each ear (to keep air out of ears for awhile. Maybe an hour or so, then take cotton out, and you're good again. This soothes sometimes as soon as the oil gets in the ear. Also, when it's cold outside (wear a neck scarf) this will prevent sore throats.

Pour a cap-full of hydrogen peroxide in your ear and let sit a few minutes. It will bubble inside the ear canal. Rotate your head and drain out the contents onto a towel, then clean carefully inside of ear canal with a q-tip. It's easier if you have a family member with you to clean out ear canal because they can see exactly where the earwax balls, if any, are located at. Repeat in other ear.

Tilt your head to one side and squirt in 3 to 4 drops of mixture. Hold for a few minutes. Tilt head to other side and pull down on ear lobe. This will drain out the mixture. Repeat for the other ear. Besides cleaning this will kill both bacteria and yeast spores. Note: Be careful of ear candle waxing as in rare cases it can lead to a ruptured eardrum.

It doesn't work all at once, but if you do it for a few days your ear wax will soften and you should be able to rinse it out with warm water.

You need to get special candles that are made just for using this way, you can't just use any old candle. The candle goes through the center of a paper plate covered with tin foil after the wide end of the candle is lit. The narrow end of the candle goes in your ear, and whoever is helping you lets it burn down an inch, then they take the candle out and cut off the top of the wick, and then the narrow end goes back in your ear. They do this three more times, then they put a few drops of oil in your ear and plug it with a cotton ball. Then you do the same thing for the other ear with a new candle. You may want to find a professional to help you do this for your first time. Ear candling is weird and it takes a long time, but it works pretty well for really cleaning out your ears.

Instead use a dry cloth or a swab and just clean around the outer parts, not on the deeper inside parts. The wax is in there for a reason, and it can keep you from getting an infection. Wear ear plugs in the shower and when you swim,and keep the plugs very clean. If you get swimmer’s ear easily, don’t clean your ears out by putting water into them.
