    Default Ear plugs

    So I recently started wearing ear plugs when riding. (winding here). I noticed that my left ear has started to feel like it gets clogged after wearing them. Kinda like how when you get out of a pool and it's a little hard to hear. My ears are clean and I have tried dropping a little rubbing alcohol in my ear but it isn't really helping. Anyone know what could be causing this and how I can fix it?

    I only have this happen when I get a lot of sweat buildup in my ear I just insert the a Q tip into the ear to get any sweat out or pour water and rinse, it also happens when I don't clean my ears for a while, what I do is next time I take a shower I tilt my head into the shower and let some luke warm into my ear leave it there for a good 5 minutes so it dislodges any remaining wax.

    Hope that helps.

    Are you maybe putting them in too far? If the ear plug is contacting your ear drum, it could make it feel like that.

    stick a rolled up piece of paper in your ear and light the other end on fire, this will also get the demons out of your head, trust me.

    Maybe. I only get the feeling after I pull the ear plug out. I would think it would go away after an hour or so but it doesn't.

    compacted wax, the warm water thing should work, they suck out hardened compacted wax at the doctors for extreme cases with a tube and water solution, kinda like an ear enima. Even the heat and steam from a hot shower alone should get that crap out, when I eat really hot salsa wax sometimes starts melting out of my ears, worth a try. the paper funnel on fire in your ear is a real remedy to I wasn't kidding.

    Shouldn't the rubbing alcohol work too?
