  My ear has been blocked for 3 days now and caused a ringing noise in the ear. The doctor gave olive oil to put in the ear but so far the block didn't clear. Is there any better method that can clear the blockage? e.g stuff that can be bought from guardian or watsons. Otherwise last resort visit the doctor again and ask for referral to ent.

  squirting.
  
  witnessed by a moderator in another forum. Which served his NS as a medic in the SAF.
  
  dont think you can get those self squirt kits in Singapore though. They are only available with the doctors.

  u can try waxsol, can be bought at watsons.. its to soften ear wax..
  
  but if this still dont help.. u have to go to clinic.. the doctor will flush out your ear wax. super comfortable after the wax is being flush out..
  
  but if ur ear wax is too hard, the doctor may need to use a special solution to soften it b4 flushing.. cos it will cause infection.

  Maybe you went to too much rock/metal concert/gigs without proper ear protection. That's why your ear got problem.

  huh?
  
  if the theory is to be believed, it's about the warmth melting the wax in the ear, then a vortex lifting it to the base of the ear candle.. so... what kind of wax???

  If Olive Oil and Waxsol don't work, ur earwax is prolly too hard, large and/or stuck to the skin of your ear canal. Ear candling works pretty well, but I find it's not practical ($$) and doesn't work well on badly clogged ears / dry ear canal conditions like mine.
  
  Try those metal ear diggers u can buy from old chinese convenience stores. Those are excellent. Be careful though, you'd want to coax the hard bits out but dun scrape your ear canal skin too hard & risk infection. Best to dig right after a hot shower. But whatever u do, don't use cotton buds.
  
  If it's too painful to remove, u might have to go to ENT. it's pretty cool, they have equips that will scope right into your ear.. then u can check out all that icky gunk!! If it's still too painful for the doc to remove it manually, u can opt to go to a private clinic + general anasthesia like I did many years back for a really nasty clogged ear + infection (partially coz of those bloody cotton buds).

  Go and find some old kind barbers. They do the service of digging ears. Very good and efficent. When they remove the ear wax which blocked off your hearing, the feeling will be damn song!
