Unblock your ears with our top tips.
Having blocked ears is not only an
uncomfortable feeling but can also lead
to further complications for the ear
canal, middle and inner ear. This
problem should not be underestimated and
proper action should be taken in order
to unblock the ear.
Below we explain how
to unblock ears at home safely, and
advise when you need to visit a medical
professional.
How
to Unblock Ears Safely at Home
One of the most common
reasons for blocked ears is the buildup
of ear wax in the ear canal. Ear wax
secretion is natural and serves as a
protection from dust and debris for the
internal ear parts. If not cleaned
regularly, though, or if the person is
suffering from excess wax, it can
accumulate, harden and cause conductive
hearing loss.
Its removal should be
done carefully, without inserting any
objects with sharp edges such as
hairpins, napkin corners or even cotton
buds. They can push the wax even deeper
in the canal or puncture the sensitive
eardrum membrane.
However, there are
some popular options that you can try at
home such as various ear wax removal
products you can find easily on the
market. You can try the
Earpal Ear Wax Removal tool that is
made from surgical stainless steel and
is completely safe for the eardrum. For
general ear hygiene, it is recommended
to use a wash or spray such as
Earol Olive Oil Spray to further
dissolve wax.

cause severe discomfort, should this
escalate, it is advised that you visit a
medical professional.
