Hearing problems from ear wax excess? how to rid wax at home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hydrogen peroxide: At home, never use q-tips. Try using hydrogen peroxide 3% ( a dropper full) 4 times a day for a week. If that does not help, see an ENT doctor for proper irrigation particularly if you have impacted wax.
