I somewhat had this problem around last year. My question is are you using headphones?

If you are I suggest using them less becuase I was reading around and it turns out that earphones / headsets increase ear wax buildup.

I am currently 17 years old. I had approximately 9 tympanoplasties. When I was about 2 years of age both of my ear drums ruptured. I have had no success with the tympanoplasties. I recently found out that my eustachian tubes are nearly closed off. I have and still do, an extreme case of chronic ear wax build up. I have not used head phones for the better part of 3 years. I cannot use the "ear candling" method, nor the "peroxide" method. Does anyone know of a procedure I can do, without have to get a eustachian tubectomy?

If you go to the pharmacy there are liquids drops you put in your ears for about 5 minutes and it 'melts' the wax. I think fill a bath tub and slip my head under the water and wiggle my ears and pull at my ear lobes to help put water through my ears and wash the stuff out!

Yes, there are oils, lubricants, etc to break down the ear wax. My son has allergies and always produced a lot of ear wax. So, if you have allergies, that could be the reason for the excess ear wax.
