I washed my hair about a week ago. now today my right ear is clogged. i put peroxide in it a few times but i still can't hear that good. could my ear be retaining moisture?

Yes: If water is the issue, a drop of rubbing alcohol will do you more good. Peroxide just turns to water after the bubbles are gone. If problem persists, see doctor since prolonged presence of water can lead to external ear infection.

YES: Try using a capful of peroxide and keep your head on the side for 5 minutes after putting it in.
