So i was cleaning out my ears with a f-ing q-tip with a little water yesterday and I think I went a little deep on my left one. Now I cant hear all that well and its been like that since last night. Thought it was gonna heal overnight :) Thought wrong.

WTF did I do?

You could have possibly pushed wax farther into your ear - at least flush it with one of those squeeze ball thingys and warm water to see if it clears up first.

If you hit the q-tip to your ear drum there will be lots of pain. If you didn't feel pain then you defiantly didn't do permant damage. See ryans post

Yeah there's a product that you can buy at the pharmacy (drops) that you put in your ear every couple hours or so if you have pushed your earwax in there a little too far. It will dissolve it slowly and will flush it out, ask your pharmacist about it.

1. You just pushed wax back and plugged the canal. Give it some time, or get an ear candle.

2. Fool. Even little kids are taught not to stick something smaller than your elbow in your ear.

I always user Qtips to clean my ears. According to doctors this is a no-no.

Most likely you packed some ear wax BACK into your when you shoved in the Qtip.

Take some sort of a peroxcide solution (not that exactly, look in the health care isle at wally world or eckerds) and squirt some of that into your ear......... lean and watch the wax pour out.

A guy I worked with did the same thing. He went to the doctor and they did that to him. Said he could hear much better now out of both ears........
