MY VIDEO MAKING GEAR:

A few of my favourite questions/comments from this video are:

1) Hey Abraham. May I ask you to make a video on treating ear wax. Also love your videos they are always so helpful - 00:15

WHAT IS EAR WAX:
Earwax is a build up of cerumen, sebum, dead cells, sweat, hair and foreign materials like dust. Earwax is a normal physiological substance that protects the ear canal and the cerumen actually has antibacterial/antifungal properties.

HOW TO REMOVE EAR WAX:
You can pick a small bottle of olive oil ear drops from your pharmacy which will come with a dropper. The usual dose is 2-3 drops in your effected ear twice a day but please follow the instructions that come with it so you administer the drops properly for maximum effect. Now once you administer the drops gently press your tragus a couple of times and this will help olive oil go further into the ear and spread evenly.

The key to getting results when using olive oil is to use it everyday while you have an earwax build up so put a reminder on your phone so you don’t forget. Use it for about 2 weeks and during this period you should see lumps of earwax fall out of your ear especially at night time when your lying down. You may wake up and see wax on your pillow case or just around your ear, this is normal and shows that it's working.

There are also other drops you can get from your pharmacy so always speak to your pharmacist first so they can check your symptoms properly and advise the best course of treatment for you.

Please do not use your fingers or any objects like cotton buds to remove earwax. This will push it in and make it worse.

WHEN TO SPEAK TO YOUR GP PRACTICE:
• If your ear hasn't cleared after 5 days
• Your ear is badly blocked and you can't hear anything (you can get an infection if it isn't cleared)

My right ear is blocked and I can't hear out of it much and it feels so uncomfortable. Thank you for this!

[beans]

3:10 is when he starts giving tips btw

[jonsix]

Wow I literally just tried this after my ear was blocked and it worked instantly!!! Crazy. Thank you so much. I’m setting my alarm everyday now for 2 weeks to clean all the wax out

[ixaixa]

I remember when I was 14 I had a blocked ear for like 3months
Then one day while playing football in an open field, I got hit with the ball really hard on the side of my face of the unaffected ear, and it just unblocked instantly. The feeling was like, opening a can of monster or something, I never was so happy getting hit

Edit: do NOT try this as well, for me it was unintentional! I didnt go around hitting myself. Seek professional help if you have an affected ear plez

[DAYGO]

It so scary only being able to hear out of one ear 😭😭

[Cxnvict]

*That akward moment when you're talking to someone and a big piece of wax falls out of your ear*

[itzelrussell]

all the comments say everyone is listening to this with one ear while i'm here with both ears blocked

[jophielmie]

Me listening to this while having a panic attack and crying because I tried to even out my ear and I just made it worse

[revelinknation]

I was about to go to the doctor but clinics were closed. I followed these steps this morning and did some ETD exercises too. It unclogged this evening and I got to save money. Thank you so much!

[babymantuck]

Ear pain in left ear for weeks. Some days it was driving me crazy. Applied single drop of oil containing tea tree/olive oil twice a day for last 3 weeks. Sunday past I feel something in my ear after a sneeze and there was a piece of hard wax almost 1/2 inch. Ear wax build up for a while. Now the ear pain is gone. What a relief!!

[meatbanger]

I'm glad you're yelling I can't hear from my right ear

[anchencoetzee]

Omw! I'm 52 and every 10 to 15 years I will wake up one morning deaf in the one ear. Off to the Dr and have my left ear sprayed with whatever it is they use. Always takes a few seconds and always a tiny piece of wax that comes out. It's Sunday. Woke up with this blockage. Listening to this with one ear 2 years after you've posted the video. To the kitchen I go and did what you said. Nothing. Went outside to hang up the washing. Back inside the house and guess what? My ear is unblocked and I can hear!!! Took approximately 3 minutes. Thank you so much for this. I felt off balance/like I have vertigo the whole morning, but now I can go work in my garden and enjoy the South African 🌞 without feeling like I'm going to fall over! Once again - Thank you! Thank you!

[katelundberg]

I've been having ear wax build up for a while now(usually involving a partial ear blockage for a couple days at a time) and I've (rather foolishly) been trying to pick it out with my fingers since it's so annoying but watching this video has helped me realize that there are better ways and that time is on my side so hopefully that will help me change my habits for the better. Plus the tips sound helpful if I ever feel the need for a better solution.

[katiekim]

I thought my left earphone is busted looks like it’s my ear.

[chrislin]

Trick or tip is to put a little olive oil in the cap of the olive oil bottle. Pour it all out. Then it will act as a "droplet". The cap will literally drip tiny drops of whats left from in the cap. Saves you a trip to the store. Also it does work!

[lemrivanroiset]

My jaw drops when i heard never push cotton buds deeper. 😭

[ayazamikanz]

"Please do not put any foreign objects such as cotton buds in your ear."

Me with a cotton bud in my ear: 😶😖😭

[jeshua]

He said to put a reminder on my phone so I don’t forget... Trust me I’m not gonna forget I can’t hear through one ear😭

[theblessedsarahchaka]

My God bless you! Really this is the right time for me almost a month I was suffering with painful itching honestly
thank you again
