How do i clean ear wax out of my ears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leave it there: Most wax in ears is there for protection of the ear canal and should be left alone. Don't use Q-tips or other object to remove on your own. If you are having pain or difficulty hearing, you should have your ears examined to see if they need to be professionally cleaned, or if there is an infection there. An over-the-counter wax softener may be recommended, but for all of these, please see doc 1st.
