re earwax hbloom moose uvm edu heather writes you can try adding a few drops of olive oil into the ear during a shower to soften up the wax do this for a couple days then try syringing again it is also safe to point your ear up at the shower head and allow the water to rinse it out about six years ago my ears clogged up with wax probably as a result of to much headphone use anyway the clinic that cleaned them out used the following procedure inject olive oil into ears prevent leakage of oil with cotton come back in an hour rinse ears with warm vater forcefully injected into ear very strange sensation done they had special tools to do this and were evidently quite familiar with the problem very large steel syringe special bowl with cutout for ear to take the grime coming out without spillage good luck seconded bjorn r bjornsson brb falcon is
