Deaf in one ear

[princesstiasmum]

I asked my Dr to look at my ears,as i keep being told i must be deaf as i have the TV quite loud, he said my ears were full of wax, mainly the right one
I have been using Otex for just over a week, my left ear seems to have cleared,but the right one is deaf altogether, cant hear a thing
Rang the surgery to ask for appointment to syringe, have to see Dr again for permission, he told me i have very narrow ear canals
I once had to go to hospital to have wax removed,
Anyone any idea what else i can do to clear it
I donr ever remember having to see Dr again, anyway just going to ring him and ask him to give permission, as it means 2 more trips to the surgery one for him then another for nurse

Have you tried warm olive oil? Or Earcalm?

Could you afford to go private and have that thing where they hoover all the wax out of your ear (it has a proper name that I can't remember)

No couldnt afford to go private, but my Dr does phone appointments i will do that first, tried warm olive oil, but my ear is a bit painful now ,i can feel fluid when i press behind it,
Thanks for replies.never heard of earcalm,

I was told by a doctor not to use otex as it can irritate the ear,. Olive oil is the best thing to use.

goose1964,thank you, only using olive oil now, but making no difference , my Dr said use otex

Whoever told me i had to see the Dr again was wrong,rang again this morning and can have ears syringed this afternoon,
Why dont receptionists check first
Been suffering badly with tinnitus because of blocked ear

Well had to see a Dr in the end,as apparently 2 patients have ended up in hospital with burst eardrums after syringing
Having to wait another 2 weeks now,had 2 goes at syringing and still wax it stuck
