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.

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

Thanks again x

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

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

tut, no olive pref extra virgin

chip fat? Lard?

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

(sorry no help am i)

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

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

a fly probably
