I was cleaning my ears with hydrogen peroxide and some of it is stuck in my ear and it will not go away and it's so fucking annoying. I tried a remedy online of some rubbing alcohol mixed with vinegar and that didn't work.

Any help?

this may not work for you, but it always did for me. i tilt my head so that the ear affected is pointed towards the earth as much as i can, and then i bounce on my toes like i'm losing my shit at a concert in the standing room only/general admission area in front of the stage.

it looks insane, it feels insane, it's tiring, stupid, but it has never not worked for me after like a 2-3 repetitions of a 30 second bounce session.

Didn't work :/

I'm going to see if this doesn't clear up on it's own otherwise I'll have to see a doctor. FUCK

I do something similar with the tilted head, but then with it tilted I'll kind of headbang up and down with one leg on the side of the bathtub or other kind of lifted position

I've been banging my head all night now and nothing. I think it's the wax in the ear and I'm going to have to get it removed, unless this resolves itself tomorrow with a night of laying on my side.
