My ear feels clogged for about a week now. It also muffles my hearing a bit.
It sometimes goes away but later it gets clogged again.
I think it's earwax.
But I couldn't go to any doctors on the weekdays cause of work and none of them are open on the weekends.
Would it be stupid to go to an ER for this? I'm not gonna lose my hearing right?
I have no pain so Id oubt its an infection, especaiily since my hearing comes back from time to time

You could google how to clean your ears with hydrogen peroxide by mixing a 1/2 solution with it and water.

Don't go to the ER, you'l regret it since it pretty much is ear wax build up. Go to walgreens or some other pharmacy, they got ear cleaning shit for wax build up. If it isn't better after that then go to the doctors.

I'm pretty sure hydrogen peroxide is REALLY bad to use on your ears.
And you can literally flush your ears out with water with a $5 syringe thingy at Rite Aid.

>ears get clogged a lot
I put olive oil in my ears when they feel clogged, its strange but it works. Hydrogen peroxide is way to strong and you can damage your ears.

The hydrogen peroxide you find on the first aid shelf is 3% concentration. It's not going to do anything damaging, nor will the 97% water that goes along with it.

Go to Walgreens like this anon recommends. I had a crazy wax build up a few years back and I actually ended up going to an ENT doctor to get the blockage cleared. It had built up so much that even the doctor was surprised at how much earwax came out. I was told to regularly clean my ears with a hydrogen peroxide mix. Never had a problem since.
