A Nurse said that my ear drum is entirely blocked off by hardened wax, annoyingly I went in because my hearing was reduced and since starting the ear drops I am completely deaf in that ear, being driven mad by a constant ringing and their is some minor pain in the ear canal. The information with the ear drops does say these things can happen during treatment but it's only been 4 days and the nurse said I was likely to need to use ear drops for 2-3 weeks, I am already at the point of just wanting to tear my ear off or something, is there anything I can do to make this experience easier?

Why didnt you see the doctor? Why didn't the doctor flush the ear and remove the wax? Nurses can't prescribe medication, so what exactly are the ear drops for?

As for pain an OTC like Tylenol PM should help.
