Are you being treated for a sinus infection, Keith? Quite often that can cause plugged ears too . . . although antibiotics wouldn't fix the wax problem anyway.

Ear "candling" is a great method for removing wax; many beauty shops offer this service for about $25. My ex had put up with it for years and every time he got a sinus infection or went swimming, he went completely deaf in one ear for about a MONTH!!

I finally bought him a gift certificate for ear candling (and a full body massage, that's how I tempted him there ) for Father's Day one year, and it only took one session to clear up the problem. He's not suffered with that in about 8 yrs now.
