How do I remove earwax at home without having to go to the hospital?
Hydrogen peroxide is my favorite way to clean ears. It comes in brown bottles from Walgreens or any local drugstore for about $1.29. Fill up your ear with peroxide from a dropper, lie on your side to keep that ear pointing toward the ceiling for 20 minutes, and let it fizz, adding more drops occasionally to keep the fizz going, then rinse it out with a ball syringe and warm water.
I went to the doctor for this recently because I had an ear ache after being sick for two weeks. They found that my ears were clogged and flushed them out. My doctor advised me not to clean out my ears regularly, but to use ear drops that you can buy at a pharmacy only once every 6 months. He said never to use the drops in your ears if you are experiencing pain though, as this could be an infection, and the drops can make it worse. The drops are very easy – it just takes about a minute to soak in your ear and a minute to rinse them out.
