What Causes Nausea And Fainting While Cleaning Ear?
I was cleaning my ear and suddenly got very nauseous and pale and nearly passed out. It went away, so I tried to finish what I was doing and it happened again. I can't hear from me left ear and have a history of ear infections. I've got a lot of sticky wax in there. How do I get it out?

Hello
Welcome to HCM.
You should not remove wax by this method.
It causes nausea and other complications.
And you also have history of ear infection.
you can use wax removing ear drops after consulting your doctor.
After 3-4 days, get removed by him.
Take care...
