    Don't put anything in your ears. Go and see your doctor.

    You can use pure Olive Oil which you can get from the chemist to clear blocked ears but do see your GP incase your eas are infected or ou may need them syringed

    Try and overcome your disklike of doctors and get them checked. Life without hearing is incomprehensible.

    Maybe you can book in to see the nurse, if they are just blocked with wax, she may be able to sort it out without actually seeing the GP - or does your dislike extend to all types of medical practioners?

    I have just seen this post - went to the doctors yesterday for same thing and nurse washed out my ear but gave me a leaflet which said the best thing is to put room temperature olive oil in the ear twice a day for seven days.
    Said she had been on a course about this
    Hope this helps
