A sulfur plug can arise for a number of reasons, for example, due to the excessive production of earwax by the glands of the ear canal, the peculiarities of the structure of this passage (if it is too narrow and curved), and also as a result of regular displacement and compacting of small amounts of sulfur when using cotton buds. The simplest and most effective way to get rid of such a plug is to wash it off with plenty of warm water under a weak pressure. The ENT doctor uses a special syringe for this procedure, and at home it is best to use a medium-sized rubber enema (up to 500 ml). But if you want to do this procedure carefully, if the sulfur plug is very dense, old, it is better to soften it first, dropping 2-3 drops of warm vegetable oil, for example, olive oil or sunflower oil into the auditory canal. After a while, the plug can be easily removed by a stream of water from the enema. In the event that for some reason you can not wash your ear, you can gently remove the softened sulfur with cotton swabs. But in no case can you use a sharp object (for example, a toothpick or the tip of a sharpened pencil). This can damage the eardrum.
