Ear infections suck
Everything sounds muffled as hell and I have a show on saturday… anyone know of any OTC remedies? I’ve done the saleen solution and it helped a little. I’d go to a doctor, but being in the US, it’ll end up costing me the same as a mortgage. 
Um… free clinic or emergency care centers are probably your best bet (a visit may run around $150, and they might offer financing options)… an ear infection will probably require antibiotics, and you don’t want to risk what an ear infection might do to your hearing in the long term.
after it clears up I would recommend trying out ear candles a couple times a year . I seem to be prone to getting ear infections . After I had one that sent me to the emergency room I had it treated with antibiotics and then looked into things to avoid getting an ear infection .
Check this site out, home remdies…I’ve tried a couple.
Some of those ideas look like a really bad idea .
you should really think about medical help with this. I have some high freq. hearing loss from an ear infection way back in highschool.
best of luck on getting it better before your show.
Hey D, I know some sounded whacky but, the one that worked for me was castor oil. Not the motor oil Castrol, but castro.
Onion Juice FTW. ringing has stopped and the highs are coming back. TY JesC
np 
I think I just died a little inside, thinking of someone putting motor oil in their ear.
I’ve had motor oil fall in my ear when I was in the Corp, that was nasty! I thought I would have really messed up hearing after shotting the 50cal in the sandbox in 2003.
What a bunch of terrible sounding ideas… aha.
But really you should go to the doctor. And like somebody said most hospitals that just have like regular doctors you can go see (obviously I don’t mean like an ER) will let you finance it.
Thats what I find insane about the USA and other Great Countries! You have to be either insured, or public assistance to be seen at the doctors…if not you have to be financed! Last time I checked there is a credit frezze.
Seriously contemplating moving to a commonwealth country liek BC or somewhere just for the health benefits. I really don’t understand why Cuba can have great socialized medicine and the US has to remain privatized.
$$$ + Bailout Hand Outs!
Obama has been talking about doing something about the medical system, for all our users in the US i hope that this is true !
Word them up B! Same here!
Yeah, for me it seems completely unnatural to not go to see the doctor. Or to even wonder about it with something like ear infection. It’s more like, of course you go to see the doctor. Either go to public healthcare and wait a bit more and get the medical analysis + prescription for like $15 or go to private sector and pay about $40-50 for the same thing and wait much less.
And the public sector is, well, not as good as the private but on a world wide scale it’s really good I suppose. And even then we whine about it.
Though I think Finnish system isn’t the optimal one (maybe a bit too public oriented and the public sector isn’t that cost effective) I think it’s much better than the US system. Healthcare should be about ethics, morale and treating people, not about making huge piles of money.
Private sector health care sucks if you ask me - peoples health shouldnt be something to be profited on.
Onion Juice … WTF!!!
I have permenant ringing in my ears from too much clubbing is there anything that can at least make it a better or is there nothing that can be done. Not even been the docs as i always read that nothing can be done.
