The feeling of deafness and muffled sounds on one side make you think that one of your ears is clogged. It is possible that a plug of earwax has formed in your ear canal.
You may also have a nasopharyngeal infection or allergy, unless you have pressure changes and your hearing is reduced on both sides. To quickly get over this annoying discomfort, here's how to detangle your ears naturally.
Clear your ears naturally with fluids
Here are two simple and mechanical methods available to everyone.
with water
The easiest way to open the ear naturally is to instill lukewarm water into the outer ear canal using an ear bulb. Water is not able to dissolve oily substances such as earwax, but pouring it in lukewarm water will soften the earwax and remove wax residue from the outer ear canal.
Once the water is in, let your head tilt for about 5 minutes to perform an ear bath. Lift your head, wiping up any spills with a clean tissue.
Note: If a plug is larger than earwax, this washing method may not be sufficient.
with vegetable oil
To combat a well-formed earwax plug, use a greasy substance to dissolve it. Sweet almond oil is a great botanical to open ears naturally and you can instill it using an ear bulb or dropper. Bottled xylene oil for ear baths is available at drugstores. It is best to drip the oil after heating it by holding the bottle in your hands for a few minutes.
Using a dropper or ear bulb, pour 5 drops of this oil directly into the outer ear canal while tilting your head.
Lie down so that the oil is kept inside the canal for the ear bath.
Leave it on for 5 minutes before getting up.
Wipe up spills with a clean tissue.
