All you need is 3% hydrogen peroxide put into your ear with a dropper. It should dissolve completely in about 15 to 20 tries. You'll know its gone when the fizzling stops and you can hear again
Murine works for me. I apply it warm, close the ear with a cotton swab. Wait 30 mins, then flush the ear canal with a rubber bulb type irrigator. Works perfectly and is simple, cheap and readily available at Shoppers Drug. Have been doing this for 15 years. Had an annual checkup last month and asked the doc if there was any buildup, and she replied none at all.
I keep an old syringe thingy with a spout instead of a needle. It works like the big ass syringe thingy / water pick that you see at the doctor's office. I just clean it with soap and (relatively) hot water, dry it off so it doesn't slip, then use warm water in my ears. Basically I keep flushing till the candy-- err, wax comes out. Then I dry it with a q-tip. My ears have always been prone to clogging with wax, and going to the doctor each time stuck me as a waste.
After you flush your ears, yourself or with 'help', try not to stand outside in the cold damp for hours on end...
The ringing is related to damage from noise not ear wax. Two unrelated events.
I've had the flush by a doc as a child.
Ear candling is another option.
It's a hollow candle that when lit sucks things out of your ear.
The bulb can be bought at drugs stores.
You can watch youtube videos on this stuff. Some are pretty disgusting as you see into the ear.
Ear candling is a total scam, as it does not remove anything from your ears, and can be dangerous if the wax falls into your ear canal. Don’t waste your money.
I've seen the wax removed that way.... as when a big chunk gets sucked out it clogs the candle.

huh I stand corrected.
Guess the syringe with warm water is the way to go. I remember seeing the chunk that hte doc flushed out of my ear it was crazy. Traffic outside the office felt deafening.

If you have a large wax buildup, one might recommend using a few drops of mineral oil in the ear each day for several days to soften up the wax, then having a doctor flush it out.
If you have less wax buildup, one might recommend using a bit of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution and flushing it after several seconds with a rubber-bulb style irrigator. This shouldn't be done too often, but perhaps monthly for maintenance.

Don't listen to any of the above .....I went to my family doctor who ib return referred me to a ear specialist...first he had me put a fluit in my ear for a few days and I returned, he sat me down and with a twissor type tool removed what blew my mind was a hunk of wax as big as my fingernail :faint:
