There is an over the counter treatment for excess ear wax (I kid you not) - DeBrox.

There are other brands that are identical. It's just a mild solution of carbolic acid and glycerin. You can often get a store brand that's less expensive.

Followed by Aural Lavage with warm water, the application will remove excess wax.

You can get a small squeeze bulb for doing this, and some wax removal solution comes as a kit with the bulb. I just apply the drops and then take a shower and wash out my ears that way.

If you do use the squeeze bulb, be very careful and follow the directions. You don't want any air inside the bulb, so hold it tip up and squeeze until water comes out, then apply it to your ear.

If you have that thick waxy buildup on your floors... I mean in your ears... it may take several applications to remove all the wax.

This is probably the cheapest and most effective tweak you can do. Clean those ears!

I'm still going with Tullio phenomenon, but it's impossible to tell from here.

There's some good info here: http://www.dizziness-and-balance.com/disorders/symptoms/tullio.html

I think you definitely want to visit a doctor on this one. The article specifies an otologist.

   The Debrox stuff works well (and I think they are all either carbamide or hydrogen peroxide, not carbolic acid) but be advised that it does go bad pretty quickly. Brand new, it fizzes audibly like you poured an Alka-seltzer in your ear. If you don't hear or feel the fizzing, it's not doing anything. The Bausch and Lomb version comes with a nice soft silicone syringe for rinsing it out.

   I would never have believed how much it affects your hearing to clean even a small amount of wax out. Makes sense, it's a very effective damping material, and when you clean it the frequency response of your ears can get dramatically "brighter".
