A member asked:

It feels like something's stuck inside my ear, i haven't tried putting anything inside but i've tried shaking my head and lying on one side, help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Never: Never try to put anything smaller than your elbow into your ear. Make an appointment wit your Physician. It may be as simple as a wax buildup that is easily removed with proper training, visualization, and instrumentation.
