My ear is clogged now. So unfortunate

[Sabth]

What should I do?

When i woke up, theres suddenly sparkling pop sound in my ear. My right ear. And then it became worse. Of course something do happened before but nothing like it. My left ear was just fine. Its only my right ear.

You should visit an ENT doctor. He can look inside and clear out wax. Wax buildup can be a serious thing that you won't fix at home.

Of course theres something that i do differently before.

You can fix earwax buildup at home. Get an otoscope.

I use this. I sleep with earplugs because I sleep close to a road. It keeps too much earwax from building up. 
Also ENTs don't necessarily know what the fuck they're talking about. I saw one once. He was a dumbass. ChatGPT can sometimes be better than doctors. Doctors are tools that prescribe medication and run tests. They aren't real human beings. (usually)

Wtf is this.

One day, when your wife is giving birth and one of those subhumans will save her life (and your kid's life) when her placenta ruptures and she starts bleeding out, i hope you'll remember some of the fuckery you said online and thank modern medicine for being what it is despite all its faults and inadequacies. 

Think a bit before posting such garbage. One bad experience does not discredit the entire medicine for goodness' s sake.

Also you're not allowed to discourage other users from seeking medical help. Untreated ear conditions can lead to chronic otitis interna and all sorts of issues.

Hydrogen Peroxide (3%) drops in the ear, lay on the side and let sink in for 5 minutes.

Me neither. At least not for common people.

Not sure it's available in EU though, Americans are more free to experiment weird things.

I like to pour 3% hydrogen peroxide in my ears while I sit and relax. 15 minutes each side. It's like ASMR without the headphones.  That said, that otoscope looks pretty damn cool.

@Michael569 I can attest to this. This year probably been the worst year of my life. I have had been through long period of unemployment and on top of that for some unknown cause, I have now lost all hearing in my right ear and have chronic neck/ear pain and tinnitus. Be careful with your ears guys. If you ever get SSHL be sure to get on a treatment of steroids ASAP or you could risk losing your hearing permanently.

@Sabth I used to get fluid buildup in my ears as a result of mucus buildup in my sinuses. My ears would get clogged and infected.

Do you have lots of mucus in your sinuses?
