3. Using an ear aspirator
If you can make a trip to a pharmacy or order something from the internet without seeing a doctor, then one of the things that can help you to relieve pain in the ear is an ear aspirator. If you’ve never heard of it before, it’s a small device that fits into the ear and helps to “suck out” any built-up wax or fluid in the ear – and it can help you if you’ve tried some of the methods on this list and they didn’t work for the long-term.
Ear aspirators are sometimes used for children who pick up ear infections or the flu, but they can work just as well for adults, and they aren’t expensive to purchase or difficult to use. They can also work great in combination with some of the other methods that appear on this list: Feel free to combine whichever of these methods work best for you.
