Excessive earwax can be very embarrassing, and can also cause many people to be a little hard ofhearing. It is common knowledge that we are not supposed to put anything into our ears. Many people want to use cotton swabs to remove earwax, but this creates a problem. Cotton swabs and other small objects can cause earwax to be pushed farther back in the ear, creating more wax buildup and possibly hearing problems.

One of the safest ways to remove excessive earwax, especially if you are nervous about doing it yourself, is by seeing yourdoctor

. Your doctor will be able to tell you whether or not you have excessive earwax, and can use a method of clearing the ear canal of excessive earwax. Your doctor will perform a simple procedure that allows you to relax as your excessive earwax is removed. Doctors use a special solution that will break up earwax. They will flush the ears with this solution, and then you will simply tilt your head to drain the solution and the excessive earwax. This is a great way to make sure that your earwax is removed safely, and can help with any hearing problems that you may have due to the excessive earwax.

If you feel as though you can do the same procedure on your own at home, there is a cheap alternative to the procedure that the doctor uses to remove excessive earwax. You can use hydrogen peroxide

instead of the solution that the doctor uses. It is safe, and can help remove the excessive earwax. All you have to do is pour a small amount of hydrogen peroxide into your ear while you are leaning to your side. You want to keep the peroxide in your ear for about thirty seconds. Once you have waited, simply tilt your head and drain the peroxide onto a tissue. Source: http://www.essortment.com/lifestyle/safelyremoveex_smow.htm

What does it mean when you have a fever and you hear a voice getting louder and louder?

It is not unusual when running a high fever to hear voices in a distorted way-- sometimes they seem louder, sometimes they seem as if they are very far away. This is often a symptom caused by the high fever. You should discuss these symptoms with your doctor, who can diagnose the cause of the high fever and give you medication to bring it down to normal, at which time your hearing should also return to normal.
