If you are talking about an ear that is full of wax and therefore "stuffed," there is an inexpensive product called Debrox that works very well. Once that has been used to soften the wax, you can gently flush the ear with a rubber bulb and warm water. I do this often as I have heavy ear wax that accumulates and is annoying.

i finally went to see an ENT doc, and after a few tests,peeks in the ear and sinus..she said it was my sinuses.
now my husband has sinus issues, really bad..headaches with them. so i had no idea mine was sinus also.

I do it differently though...I just cut an onion in half and scrape with a spoon to get a couple of drops.

Wrap a saucer in a damp towel. Microwave it for about 30 - 60 seconds. Make sure it is cool enough not to burn you, and put it over the ear. When I do this, I put an unheated towel between the heated saucer and the ear.

My doctor told me to pour a little hydrogen peroxide in the kids' ears once a month to help with wax build-up. I have heard this from more than one doctor, but my son went to an ear specialist that told me this.
