Hello,

Don't keep objects in the ear, you may try to dewax ear drops or peroxide drops for a few days then go to the doctor. After the softened wax is easy to remove by syringing technique.

If not the doctor may try by curettage or endoscopy removal wax. Sometimes middle ear pressure may feel like a pain in the ears so please check it out.

If symptoms not improved please consult your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
