    @the tidy gardener  How is your ear today?  What sort of relief did you try?

    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

  • Warmed olive oil,then later on otex drops which are hydrogen peroxide.then a warm flannel.it has felt worse today in that I cant hear at all and it feels completely blocked.but someone on here did say that was a sign it was getting better?! I do hope so it feels like the blockage is getting bigger

    The salt bag solution sounded interesting.  I hope you have a decent night's sleep.

  • Thankyou so much! I'm trying to distract myself..I read online this can be helpful, I cant concentrate to read so I'm watching my 600lb life...oh dear...its like hoarding programmes.what is it about these programmes?!! Why cant I stop watching them??

    @the tidy gardener The more blocked thing always happens to me, it's because the wax soaks up the oil and expands. 
  • sorry to hear about your ear problems ..... am I the only one who wants to see a picture of what comes out!  :D

    See if there is anyone in your area that does  hopi ear candling. I have seen this done, the gentle suction pulls a lot out, but the wax needs to be softened first.  If you have a partner who can keep an eye on it, holland and barrett sell them.
  • If anything ever does come out I will.post a photo! It might need warning signs tho it feels like a monster

    Mine always feels like a huge lump of wax and I'm always disappointed to see how little comes out. I do, however, have a very narrow right ear canal so it blocks up quicker than the ear can naturally clean itself.
    Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
  • Finally some wax came out!!!! Only a tiny amount but it's a start.my husband did a video of the drops bubbling and popping in my ear.it looks like an alien eye revolting!!!!!
