Stop and flush: After using an OTC cerumen drop like Debrox the softened wax needs to be removed from the ear canal. This can be done at Home with a bulb syringe or by your doctor using irrigation or suction. Good luck!

Too long!: Obtain an bulb ear syringe and gently wash that wax out with warm water. The drops do not make the wax go away they just soften it!!!! See your Health Professional to irrigate your ear if the above does not do the trick HEAR WELL!

Ear wax stuck in ear? I took a shower last night and i still have some sort of water/wax buildup impairing my hearing in my left ear. I tried dropping rubbing alcohol in it and using an expired tube of debrox, but no luck, yet also no physical pain.
