Deafness in ear due to wax build up driving me mad, what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Buy a kit !: Ear wax removal kit. Follow the instructions carefully. Be sure to use room temperature water. If that does not work go to the doctor. Plan on spending at least 45 minutes there (it takes a while for the wax to soften with the drops).
