About 2 weeks ago, I washed my hair in the shower and it did not go well. I came out with only a little hearing left. I used all the usually cleaning methods that worked before, but they did not help this time. I resorted to the Q-tip to help remove excess wax. Three days passed and I still could not hear my own voice.
I recalled that Rob of Kentucky mentioned that Vicks Vapor Rub had the ability to dry out excess water. I cannot find that post. So about the fourth night, I put the Vicks around my left ear. When I woke up the next morning I had some hearing in that ear, Yaaay. So the next night I put Vicks around and on both ears. Wow, I could hear YouTube again without a hearing aid. Everyday my hearing got better, "Now I can hear better than before I took the shower! " I only used it about four or five days, but the healing continued. I also started taking Astragalus about the second day of using the Vicks.
Astragulus has helped my hearing before. That also was only taken about 5 days.
God is Good.

I just want you to know I still have my hearing. I thought I would update because my daughter complimented me because I have been hearing her without my hearing aid.
No, I cannot hear a whisper. I have been hard of hearing since I was a child, however I hear better now than I have in a long time. If I feel like my hearing is decreasing, I rub some Vicks on before I go to bed. Now I don't have to keep my hearing aid on in the house.

HJ, where on your ear do you rub the Vick's onto?

Hi MMSG,I just rubbed it in back, and front of my ear and went to sleep. I could not find the post from Rob at that time. However I see from the bar he left for us a few days ago, that the Vicks Vapor Rub can also be put on a cotton ball and left in the ear over night.

Thank you, HJ, it's amazing that it worked from the "outside"! I guess the fumes get in.
