A member asked:
The ear blockage and muffled hearing is annoying, what is that and any home remedies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hearing Difficulty: Sounds like earwax (called cerumen). The reason sound is muffled is because sound waves cannot pass easily through solid objects including wax. You can try mixing 5 mL of tapwater and 1 mL over the counter hundred and peroxide. Use an ear dropper and put several drops into the affected ear. As the solution dries it will harden the wax and it should come out. NO OBJECTS IN EAR!
