    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)

    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

    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!

    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!

    Thanks! This was really helpful. I use urea hydrogen peroxide drops when I start to experience pain/blocked ears but it's usually an uncomfortable experience. Hearing about olive oil may be a useful alternative I can use. Also pressing down on that one spot close to the ear is really useful! And thanks for reiterating about not putting anything down the ear. I'm one of those twats whos always been like 'yea but I'm different', but I think it's really useful to be told that it can just push more wax further down the ear, over the course of months when you probably aren't aware of it. Thanks again!

    I got my ears impacted a few years back and went to a doctor for checkup. He gave ear drops to soften the hardened wax and was told to come back in a week iirc. Then he got the wax out by pouring in water and picking out the wax. Afterwards I could hear much clearer that loud noises made it hurt. 😅 So I put small cotton balls to lessen my hearing. Since then I have stopped using cotton buds and just use ear picker very carefully when I clean my ears.

This was because i genuinely never cleaned my ear. Then i had to visit a doc, and he gave an oil. but after the infection was ok, my parents always adviced me to use cotton buds in ear and those indian steel small objects with an extended end to force the wax to come out , But since i was very afraid to put anything in my ear , even ater getting the infection, i didn't clean my ears or cleaned my outer ears with cotton buds of johnson coz that's the most reputed brand of baby care in india. But then i wanted tutorial to clean my ears and opened laptop, to come across your video. Thanks a lot. I hope there is no more build up of wax in my ear.
