My right ear is clogged with something horrible and I can't hear out of it. I've tried washing it out, Q-tipping it, but nothing helps. Mom's gonna try "candling" it tomorrow, whatever the hell that is, but I don't know if it'll work.
I shall now stress how abnormally annoying this is. It's STUFF in my EAR. If my right ear faces where someone's talking, I can barely understand them. Plus it feels really horrible.
Pity me 
And that much of it?
Um...doctor?
I don't even have a doctor so I just let all my problems get rid of themselves.
When I think of "candling" I think she sticks a very fine wick into your ear, then slowly drips wax into it, then pulls it out slowly, removing nasty stuff. But that's me.
Go see a doctor tomorrow, kay?

Ow, that would hurt. I'm pretty sure the aforementioned method of putting cone paper in the ear then igniting the top, allowing the heat to create a vaccuum which slowly pulls wax out is correct. I've actually had it done, and it just feels a little weird.

Yeah, I think that's it, but done with a candle. As long as it clears my ear, I'm fine.
I had an Inner Ear infection that turned to an Outer/Middle infection as well. Sealed off both ears. Made doing anything damned near impossible and hurt like all hell.

Squeak?
Dosen't actually HURT (or didn't before the Q-tipping), it's just... blocked. Feels more like a wax buildup than an infection.
Poor kid had a complex, cause the thing not only bit him, it kept buzzing in his ear and so on.
He had to go to the docter, and man the kid was freaking out when the little bits of the dead bug came out piece by piece.
No, there is no real reason for this lil story. Dont let it bug you, go see a docter.

Ugh ugh ugh. This happened to me at least twice with a black fly in one year. It SUCKED.
Each time, when I finally got the fuckers out, they came out with a little bit of blood because I was picking at my ear THAT MUCH. I now have this, like, semi-phobia of bugs buzzing near my ear. I'm very very protective of my ears.
--For clarity, I'm pretty sure it was my picking that got my ears to bleed. And it felt really awful, because they itched so bad and they hurt even worse. So eventually I got the "there's water in my ear" feeling and rocked my head until some blood came out with the flies. It was pretty gross. [ 07-11-2002: Message edited by: Mr. Wilams ]

The earwigs have hatched.
My dad used to tell me that when I was younger, or that the earwigs would just eat their way through my brain and come out the other ear!
*shudders*
I've had that problem happen to me several times. It's fairly rare, but it happens to me when I don't clean my ears out for a LONG time, as in, half a year. Anyways, it feels like your ear has been blocked and no matter how far in you put the Q-Tip it will not come out.
At times if you tilt your head a certain way the hearing will somewhat be restored, but will go back to crap. Here is how I recovered from this my two most recent afflictions (one was a week ago!).
Two blockages ago, my mom went to one of those crazy hippie stores and bought an Ear Candle. She stuck one end into my ear, and lit the other end on fire. The vacuum created sucked all of the yucky wax out and cleared my hearing! Fantastic.
This most recent time, I just waited. Waited for it to go away, being tortured the whole time. Well finally it did after about a month! I should have just bought another damned ear candle.
Anyhow, that may not be what you have -- maybe it is an infection of some sort. But that is my personal experience
