Left ear blocked

[Statik]

Hey guys,

 

So the odd time I wake up, and my left ear feels plugged almost. But it quickly goes away. Today I woke up, and didn't have time to shower before work, and my ear felt plugged, and it was hard to hear all day. I got home, and tried cleaning my ears with Qtips, then tried flushing my ear with water, then put mineral oil in my ear, let it sit, then flushed it with water. Then I got fed up, and had a shower, and it's still plugged. What the fuck gives? Any ideas?

 

If it persists for a few days I'll just go see my doctor. But right now I just don't get it.

Do you live in a high altitude?

do not use q tips to clean your ears period. just go to the doctor and theyll clear it out for you.

Usually you'd have pain if you blew your ear drum so I'm not sure. I'd just go to a doctor asap, something might be eating you.

Use a turkey baister or bayster whatever thing.

also try chewing gum

Do you use q tips often?

Maybe you got wax on your eardrum.

thats worth a shot but the problem is unless you can see in your own ear then that becomes a problem.

I would suggest going to your doctor. It is not recommended that you attempt to clean your ear by shoving things into it.

If this is a regular thing you might want to go see an ENT doctor to figure out what's up, because this sounds like a sinus issue.

I've used Qtips to clean my ears since I was a kid. I clean, but I don't just jam those bastards in. I'm not stupid.

No, I don't.

Yeah, I'll give it the weekend and see if it clears, then I'll call the doctor. I just wanted to try to losen up and flush out any wax, but that appears to be no bueno

Nope, nowhere.

 

But you're right, my free as shit doctor will help.

Headphones are the biggest pissoff right now. My left one feels so quiet.

 

That combined with can't hear shit at work is brutal.

its not about being stupid you put something like that in your ear canal it will push things back into it simple as that.

I got one of these and it's really helpful http://www.amazon.com/Health-Enterprises-Ear-Removal-Syringe/dp/B000SOJXGA

It's only an add-on item though

Much wax?

The doctor should be able to flush your ears in like 3 minutes. It's easy and not a big deal
