Earwax usually falls out on its own. If it does not and blocks your ear, put 2 to 3 drops of olive or almond oil in your ear twice a day for a few days.(gently warm the oil up first)
Over 2 weeks lumps of earwax should fall out of your ear, especially at night when you’re lying down.

September 9, 2019 at 11:13 am #87120No I usually just boil the kettle and sit the small Glass bottle in the hot water just until its Luke warm Mike. You can get small bottles from a chemist. While there, ask for a dropper as well.
I put 2-3 drops in the ear over a few days. also a little cotton wool to stop any leaks.

September 9, 2019 at 1:09 pm #87139AnonymousI suffer this problem. Regularly have to put drops in my ears and have a nurse syringe them out.
I used to use olive oil drops but the taste got into my mouth and I found it very unpleasant. Tried almond oil recently and found that much better.
I would not personally recommend candling. Some swear by it but most health professionals I have asked have said it can perforate your eardrums.
One thing I have not tried (yet) is Specsavers. Some of their branches offer ear wax removal, no drops required and they use a special machine that basically sucks the wax out without pressure in your ear canal. It looks fairly expensive, and I have not needed to try it so I can’t comment on if its any good.
