7. Compresses and Steam

Another way to improve clogged ears is by using a cold or warm compress or steam in the shower. Placing the compress over the ear or taking a hot shower for at least five minutes will introduce enough heat and steam to loosen up ear wax and clear clogs in some cases. Doctors suggest people try this method first when they notice a problem, so long as they are careful to make sure the compress is not hot enough to cause discomfort or burns.
