5. Cleaning Ears with Mineral Oil

One common way to ease clogged ears is with mineral oil. Although mineral oil can be purchased over-the-counter without a prescription in many cases, it’s still wise to check in with a medical professional prior to trying this treatment. Mineral oil is ideal for ear wax buildup, as it turns wax into a soft substance that drains from the ear on its own. A few drops before bed can prevent future buildup, too.
