Ok I have a really weird thing going on with one ear. It feels like there is something moving and making a noise in there. The pitch changes and I am now paranoid.....

Tis only one ear and no pain as such. Comes and goes and feels like something vibrating.

Any ideas?

a fly probably

You don't think an insect has flown in there do you? It's possible?

oh see the thought of that freaks me out!!! DH has syringed them with water with the free syringe that comes with kids nurofen. Surprisingly not helped

aren't you meant to put some sort of oil in it to bring it out? have a go

(sorry no help am i)

chip fat? Lard?

tut, no olive pref extra virgin

ah right like tossing a salad just pour it in neat do you think?

i found this for you one tip is shine a light and it'll fly out, though that relates to a moth

aw thank you! Off to look for the house torch. More likely to find DS's ben 10 one!

Thanks again x

It might be ear wax. Try some Earex or similar hydrogen peroxide solution for ears. Put the drops in, then lie on your side, ear to the sky. It will tickle and after about 10 seconds it will fizz, it's not unpleasant (in fact it's quite addictive) The more it fizzes, the more wax there is in there.

Don't get too addicted to the drops though, your ears need some wax for a reason. Just not hardened wax.
