Ear drops are a bit shite. Far better than that is to just heat some olive oil put your head on the side and get someone to pour some of that into your ear and then lie there for about 10 minutes then stick a tissue in your ear to mop the stuff up.
I had this done to me and I actually felt it as it ate through the wax. It was the greatest thing ever and I've tried to recreate this experience with ear drops, but they didn't give the same buzz.
I'm not sure whether it needs to be first pressing of the olive oil, but i'm sure it makes it feel better for no apparent reason.

Have you tried warming some olive oil and sticking a few drops down your lug 'ole? Leave to soften for five minutes, then add salt and pepper to taste.

Of course, it could just be that you've been listening to your ipod too loud, in which case you can join this cock and sue Apple for allowing the volume to be turned up loud.

Apparently my great grandfather had this done when he was a nipper. They did change the recipe slightly though, deciding that it would work much better if the oil was heated rather than just warmed up nicely. He was stone deaf for the rest of his life in that ear.
Olde folke, eh? I'm surprised we ever made it this far.

Cripes!
Another word of advice. Stick to normal olive oil, rather than the chilli-infused stuff you've got at the back of your kitchen cupboard. Like zipping your cock in your fly, that's not a mistake you'll make twice.

thanks guys! I'm still deaf, and I've been to the doctors. She couldn't even see my ear drum. So, I'm going to see the nurse in a fortnight. I want to get this shit sorted before then though, as I'm supposed to be starting a new job on monday (just more temp hell, nothing real), and I don't want to be deaf.
Because she is an incompetent doctor, or because you have unusually long and twistly ear canals, or because it was obscured by wax/an insect/a jelly baby?

Pouring warm olive oil into your ears will probably help. If they are really badly blocked with impacted wax, though, you'll need to have them syringed. Is your appointment with the nurse to have them syringed? If you can't wait that long and you're desperate, you can pay to have them done at a medicentre. That's what I did - I can't remember how much it was, though. 15 quid? 25 quid? Not sure.
What a great post. I reckon I've saved the boards there you know.
not...

I imagine that having your ear syringed must be one of the most satifying sensations ever.
I often used to dream about pulling a long stick of wax shaped like a bostick glue stick out of my ear. Just getting a grip on the edge of it with your finger and thumb and then pulling, and it just slides out... you have to do it sooooo slowly so as not to break it... and.. and you just feel the pressure in your ear reducing until finally the whole thing is almost out, just the last millimetre.. and you pull it, though you don't really want the whole sensation to end...but out it comes and there's a slight pop and your aural senses are suddenly restored to 100%. Everything seems loud, you can hear the birdsong outside the window, you drop a pin on the floor just to hear the TING! Then you inspect the wax stick and put it on a jam jar with the rest of your collection.
I imagined that the stick would take maybe 4 months to grow...
