Partial Hearing Loss
I am facing problem in hearing from my right year! I guess it is an earwax buildup. I have started at-home earwax cleaning procedure by using eardrops. I wish to know whether or not I should consult an ENT specialist or continue the procedure at home!
Is irrigation necessary after applying eardrops? How do we perform that?

You can’t perform irrigation at home as if done wrongly it could damage your ear drum. Consult a ENT specialist.
