Ear Doctor teaches Ear Wax Removal - Doctor Sina

My ear gets blocked after 3 WEEKS.

Johnnnnnnn Cenaaaaa! 😊

Thank you for these tips. I remember someone saying you shouldn't put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear.

Bad doc don't do it.

Hiya, Doctor, I hope you see this comment. I looked up the topic about proper and healthy ear-cleaning because not only have I experienced occlusion by ear wax several times through my life, but I have a tangential concern:

I have recently started riding a motorcycle. The general advice for saving one's hearing from the wind noise inside the helmet is to use hearing protection, ear plugs being the leading advice. So, since I'll be using earplugs on a regular basis (I'm using disposable foam ones now, and I will start experimenting with various reusable ones -- yes, I'll make sure I clean them between use), I am thinking two things:

1: Plugging the ears for prolonged periods of time also requires letting them air out for long enough to dry the excess moisture, as it can foster bacterial growth, as well as not allowing stuff like wax to properly dry as it normally might during that time (something I read in an article about prolonged, if not constant, use of ear buds in the mid-2000s or so, which means of course I'd have no way to recall the exact source where it was posted). At least this is easy to mitigate, by taking breaks and removing the ear plugs for a while to let my ears dry out.

2: I am worried about ear plugs potentially shoving wax into my ear canal, whether or not it contributes to occlusion. So, any advice on safe use around such things with earplugs would be helpful.

What about removing the cortisporin ear drops white residue stuck to the eardrum? It is highly irritating and burns the ear. How does one soften that and remove it?

Well I've been using the shower method for a long time and than when I step out I use my towel to clean and dry my ears I never knew it was an actual cleaning method though, the more you know!! 😆👂👍🌠💯

I lost hearing but got recovered frrom it but i suspect i have packed ear wax in my ear... my hearing is normal now... i cleaned my ear with qtip and kinda go little deep and i felt something there like a hard substance in my ear.. not insect or anything cuz if it is im dead by now... im doing the shower thing.. actually i did that before and it worked so tht might work now

My doctor advises that we should put nothing in our ears smaller than our elbows.

I came to this video because almost every time I go swimming the water washes it directly on to the drum leaving it stuck there and leaving me sounding to myself like I am still under water. It is also ringing now. What can I do to get it off the drum and keep it off

Thanks, Doctor Sina! These informations are really helpful! All the best!

What to do when feel itchy

To note, if you are one of those people who suffers from earwax compaction (earwax builds up to such a degree that you lose hearing) then, yes, you are ok to and should clean out those ears. But only if you feel that compaction happening.

Ay val amoo Sina👏🏻

I do this all the time. Warm water in the shower. Flushed it out far enough to get it safely with a q-tip.

Good content, thanks! But the music is a wee bit too loud, and smothers your voice. When I turn up the volume, the music of course increases!

I wear hearing protection all the time. My job is a high volume job and hobbies are high volume as well. I spend hours with earplugs in, always in and out. I am always packing earwax in to the point of needing to get them cleaned. Is there anything I can do to help prevent this?

I get the argument that you shouldn't need to clean your ears, but sadly in my case that simply isn't true. I have lost count of how many times I have had to go to a clinic to have hardened or sticky earwax removed from my ears because it's causing a blockage, resulting in my hearing being muffled.

After having this happen a few times, I finally saw an ENT, and as it turns out my ear produces more earwax than it actually needs for whatever reason, making me more susceptible to blockages. He told me I should use a syringe every week or so with warm water to wash out wax buildup. He also recommended the shower water method too, but said using a syringe might be better.

I've been using a syringe for months and have had no blockages, but it wore out and need to buy a new one. I've also heard that a syringe could cause ear infection too, so now I'm trying the shower water method to see if that's enough, so I don't need to worry about infection or keep buying a new syringe when one wears out. Hopefully that'll be enough. If not, I'll probably pay another visit to the clinic and go back to using a syringe.

Funnily enough, my girlfriend has the opposite problem. Her ears don't produce enough earwax, and she commonly gets dry ear because of it.

my right ear gets clogged when i sleep on it at night, then in the morning is gets unclogged usually in a few mins. Trying to fix it. Just tried some ear drops and a water rinse after. now my ear is clogged during the day, hoping i didnt f it up more. i do hear cracking sounds like the wwax might be being broken down so i guess ill have to see what happens in a few days. annoying as fuck, im def as shit right now in my right ear

My ear still feels blocked after the ear drops, why is that?

Just used full strength from Walmart and there crackling when I swallow? I rinsed with warm water afterwards, and let it drain out, then dried it with paper towel. Still crackles not sure what to do.

But I literally can’t hear properly so I need to do it

Can someone plz tell me why i felt giddy during my wax removal procedure
And why it is so painful for me
Had someone suffered the same issue plz tell

I think an ant crawled in my ear just now what do I do

Like what temperature of water warm cold not to hot

shower water???? with all those cases of brain eating amoebas hell no

Thank you buddy

No method works, my ear is clogged for life.. no amount of method is going to help at all, Every time i try a method it gets worse and i get extremely dizzy.

Can I use chewing gum?

I was told to NOT USE TAP WATER use only distilled because of the microorganisms 🦠 give you an infection

Ear candling???? Wth

How can candling damage ears you had no reason

A lot of shower heads have black mold. Wipe it with a paper towel when it’s wet and you will see it on the white paper towel.

I was not ready for that dang spider at the beginning

Shower method is amazzzzzing!!!!

How long do you have to use ear drops

Get a ear camera. It helps a bunch

Probably worst video on this subject ive seen in 2 days. "Dont do it!". "Soften the wax so I can do it!"....ok bruh

The only two things were getting an ear wash and having a doctor actually pluck it out. Just see a doctor every year to clean your ears and don't wear earbuds all day. I wear over the ear headphones consistently now that I've realized earbuds keep shoving wax back in.

If eat wax stops infections why does it create hearing lose and pain I’m so confused

When I lay on my back I can feel water coming out all the time, is this normal? I’ve been having vertigo issues not sure if it’s related.

I tried my absolute best trying to keep this "dont clean your ears" rule for about two or three months. After weeks of itching and discomfort I realized that this rule was stupid and finally got rid of the l piles of yellow lint that accumulated in my ears. What a relief.
So, my friend, you can be the greatest ear theorist on the planet but your theory doesn't work in practice. At least not with my ears.

thx doc

It makes me feel when Dr's say "dont clean your ears" because if you do then they have no job

Wait so what I just pour out is dry flaky skin? I though I was removing the bad stuff @@

My ENT once had such a hard time trying to remove my ear wax that he sent me away, told me to use mineral oil every day for a week to soften the wax, then come back. What an ordeal. Then once, my blocked ear wax broke loose on its own in my sleep and I awoke with loads of warm wax just gushing down the side of my face. It was AWESOME!!!!

I’ve used the shower method for 50 years. Never a problem
