I seem to have gone deaf in my left ear.

Scioch

Ear started buzzing and now its all weird like I'm partially deaf or something. I tried the old hold you nose and blow trick but I nearly passed out, my nose started to bleed and I'm still deaf. So that was a no go.

Anyone any other ideas ?

Clear up some now from jamming the little finger in and wiggling it about while holding my head at an angle.

I might have to look into getting them hosed out though. Cant be good if your going deaf every so often out of the blue.

Ears starting popping yesturday at work.as in on the ascent of an aircraft...was really weird talking to people..went away after a while .think I have experienced the buzzing as well..i think its maybe related to air pressure changes?

Nope. Cant swim. Did have a shower recently though where a bit of water got in there !! Must be four days ago though. Surely would have dried out in that length of time.

Have you been golfing lately? It could be that.

Have you been shoving frozen peas in you ear again?

A quick google search suggests pregnancy.

Nah, a shower wouldn't put enough water in there...sleep on it and see what way it is tomorrow sure

Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ask the internet for medical advice.

Don't worry when you lose your ears people with wooden ears can lead productive lives.

Shower more often, you haven't cleaned your ears properly.

Then again when you go to a doctor what do they be typing ? I'll wager they are on doctor.com looking up symptoms.

I was only ever told to clean behind my ears. Should I give them a good old squirt ?

I would have thought you could get the boyfriend to do that!

Sounds like wax build up, go to the doctor.

Right, you're going to need a pillow, some tissues, a corkscrew and a 'can-do' attitude.

You forgot the ambulance on speed-dial!

...But don't forget not to put the phone to the wrong ear!

Eat your ear wax.

Have you cut your toe off yet, it might relief the pain

Get a piece of string
Tie one end to your ear
Tie the other end to a door handle...

OMFG that is vile...fair enough you get your cute lil flies and cuddly moths trapped in there, but having that eight eyed yoke staring back out would make me wanna claw that side of my face off. Bllllleeeeeeuuuuuuurrrrggh!!

Chew some chewing gum...sometimes loosens things up if it's a bit of pressure.

Heat up an iron and hold it to the side of your head for 5 to 10 minutes. Should melt any excess ear wax.

Alternatively if you want to be boring I believe a small drop of warm olive oil will do the same.

Colmustard

There has been some great advice given above, I am convinced most the AHers are really doctors.

Your ears are like your eyes, when something goes wrong suddenly it is an indication of something serious happening, perhaps to your brain, see a doc.

Trust me on this, warm olive oil in your ear will be what your doctor will advise you to do. They won't wash out your ear until you've loosened up the wax with some warm olive oil overnight because if you don't do that, the wax won't come out and it'll just be a waste of time.

Probably a spider gone in while you were asleep and laid some eggs.

It does happen. While cycling, I once had a fly fly into my ear. All I heard was buzzing inside my head for about 5 minutes and it freaked me out. Went immediately to doc but the the fly had flew back out then. He did syringe my ear to be on the safe side though

Skerries

buy some Waxsol from the chemist and use that, I find it usually takes a good few days for it to soften up

I often end up using a syringe filled with warm water to wash it out
