Mine just feel so clogged and I feel like traditional cleaning is just pushing wax buildup deeper inside. I have tried popping my ears which temporarily do the job, but it's working less effectively now. What is the go to these days to get that shite out?

I usually just bend a paper clip straight and then use it to extract ear wax

Qtip with either rubbing alcohol or peroxide. Twisting and rotating with outwards motion. Ears full of cerumen are disgusting.

What? You straighten the entire thing out? You leave it as a lean "s" right?

I hand my wife the tweezers and my phone with the flashlight on.

I pinch my nose closed, shut my eyes tight, put a compressed air hose in my mouth let it blow back through my ears for a few seconds.

They'll make a loud whistling sound when they're good and clean. You're welcome.

You probably are if you are sticking it way up in your ear. Last time I had mine cleaned by an ENT my truck radio was unbelievably loud when I started it up afterwards

There is a product out there sold in Walgreen’s and/or CVS that consists of a plastic syringe about the size of your finger with a soft, rubberized multi-port nozzle. (Not talking about the miniature douche bulb thingie.) You fill it with warm water, insert it in your ear and hit the plunger. It loosens cerumen and either flushes it out or allows easy extraction. It is basically a smaller and self-inflicted version of what a doctor or nurse does for a fee when you cannot take it anymore, think you’re going deaf and see a medico in despair. Works great. Follow instructions. Save $$$ in doctor bills.

Elephant ear washer. It's what Drs use and you can buy them for 30 bucks. Works every time
