  • THIS DOES NOT WORK!!! IT MADE MY EAR MUCH WORSE & OF COURSE MY DOCTOR CAN'T SEE ME. TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE ADVICE!!!

  • Stop the ignorance and insults. The pot comes with instructions plus sodium packs. U can buy additional or apply the ratio yourself. Sufferers know. This works 4 some

  • 1:22....SHES THINKING ABOUT all the times she used her tounge....

  • This worked for me, thankyou for the treatment guide that the doctors could not fix, now my ears are clear they pop when required for swimming ect. Just a note for the oooo no water in the ear, what about diving and underwater swimming windsurfing all types of water has been in my ears for 60 years even in the womb.

  • YOU CAN DIE IF YOU USE TAP WATER!!! AMOEBA HAS KILLED SEVERAL PEOPLE

    DONT DO THIS USE BOTTLED WATER!

  • @IntenseSoldier Over stated. *2* people using well water in rural LA (trashed by Katrina and the oilspill) got it. It's silly to act like tap will kill you. Please. Babies and little kids snork water in the tub and pool all the time.

  • in your video you instruct people to use tap water in a netty pot. this is VERY DANGEROUS. you are being very cavalier about this and giving very dangerous, even deadly advice.

    people can get deadly amoebas or other microscopic organisms from tap water into their brain and inner sinuses by doing this. there have been recent cases in the news about the improper use of netty pots.

    please take your video down or at least give a warning to use distilled water or previously boiled water

  • @MoveUpsideLetMeThru 2 people using well water in LA. The state, not the city.

  • Dont use tap water!!!!! Someone just died recently because of a small amoeba got into their brain. Be very careful

  • @AroundSun an amoeba? did it weigh more than a pound?

  • She said Doo doo

  • Ugh :( i cant even see this vídeo because its taking forever /:

    I jus wana get better..

  • speak up I can't hear you!!

  • Use distilled water!

  • IT WORKS AND I'VE BEEN CLOGGED FOR WEEKS. YOU SAVED MY LIFE.

  • Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you for such a thorough presentation. Very helpful, and informative as well.

  • I'm sorry... must've dozed off there for a minute! Yaaawwwn!

  • My ear hurt but it worked

  • I've been told that you absolutely should NOT use water straight from the tap with a neti pot, due to the possibility of bacteria/microbes in the water. If you are using tap water, you will need to boil it and let it cool to a comfortable temperature before using. Or you can use distilled water.

  • Nice Tits!!!

    

  • Can you a douching video?

  • ill stick it in your neti pot

  • I have a problem with ear wax build up and have been using different home remedies and ended up getting either peroxide or alcohol trapped. I've been very dizzy to the point of nausea and vomiting and looked for a way to remove the fluid online and run across this video. Thank you-Thank you!! The wax is still there but the trapped fluid is gone! Now I know how to use a nedi pot too!

  • didnt work...

  • When she says blow real hard with your nose plugged do not do it hard. I popped my ear drug doing this. I did not pop it doing her tutorial but this is the reason i am here right now. But people say its hard to burst an air drum i agree, but it does happen.

  • or you could just pour some salene in ur ear and shake ur head.

  • @thedanicali2 it would be hard for the saline to reach the eustachian tubes that way because first there is tympanic membrane then then there is the fluid in the ear. The purpose is to reach the eustachian tubes directly.

  • Errr you know this can lead to serious ear infections... Think about it, your pushing whatever viruses and bacteria you have in your sinuses into your inner ear.. The neti pot also has warnings on it to not push the solution into your eustatian tubes for this same reason...

  • I can't hear any fucking thing hardly and i'm not buying gay drops!!

    omg it's irritating >.<

  • 'a good squirt' LOL

  • this is great!!!! also, I've stopped wheat and dairy!!!! feeling a lot better!!!

  • 90% success is an EXTREME exaggeration. Did not work for me. I don't doubt that it worked for some people, but we have to admit that the best option is to drop down the money and go to the doctor.

    I did about 7 neti pots and did all the exercises and have had no difference. I would not recommend anyone paying her money for this.

  • I would give you thumbs up, but , distilled water , & noni iodeised salt as see salt would be better, what do you think ?

  • I am in so much fucking pain with my ears on holiday... I have trapped water in my ear that is causing me pain and I can't sleep! Will this remedy help!?

  • Sad thing is..this couls be fixed if money was in it or if every man had it. the medical world can stop a siezure in the body via small hole brain surgury or a doc can reconnect a vein or place a stint in your heart using a cam then cat the bled but nooo...an eu tube cant be helped???? Get the freak outta the money game and try to fix a life altering condition. Its like how women's heath is treated at times....lackin.

  • Didn't work for me but I love big jugs!

  • "if you can't breathe you are doing it right" .......this sounds safe

  • @yourmotherisfriend she meant closing your throat w/ your tongue so you can't breathe out of your mouth and have to use your nose.

  • THANK YOU!!!!! I've been dealing with this for two months, completely helpless until your video came along.

  • & what days where them???

  • nice comedy bro

  • Hell naw im not doin that s**t

  • I love this tutorial...I have the Nettiepot and I love it. I will try this later today. Thanks so much for sharing.

  • This unclogged my ear this morning. I used only salty water. We'll see how long my ear stays unclogged, but I definitely noticed a change and felt a pop in my ear while I was doing this. Thank you!

  • one sick bitch

    

  • Do you know of a home remedy for tinnitis? I started having ringing in the ears about 6 months ago and it has declined in severity but has not gone away.

  • lol "and if you cant breath then you're doin it right..."

  • sailing solution? thats called a boat. ---(jk)

  • Worked well for me, thank you.

  • Comment removed

  • @RisingSunGraphics I think it also says to use the back of your tongu to put pressure on the top back part of your mouth so that it doesn't go down your throat, and the chick even says so in the video.

  • i enjoy a good squirt

  • I think you need to mix in a salad!

  • that was a good squirt

  • thank, I have great hope for this procedure.

  • Thanks for this video! I'm gonna try it. Like your video...many thanks:)

  • You're quite a piece of work. First you COPY information from wikihow. com/Unclog-the-Inner-Ear-or-Eu­stachian-Tube about how to perform this, then you set up your own web site in an attempt to make people pay $5 for the "Secret" ingredients and techniques, then, you post it on here and still ask for a dollar on Pay pal for info that you have stolen from the manufacturer of the Netti-Pot and the saline powder they sell. Get a JOB and stop trying to rip people off. White trash central.

  • Try this.youtube.com/watch?v=mq8-u­eguPhk&feature=related

    

  • People, don't do this! If some of that solution gets washed back into your middle ear, you're screwed and you'll end up paying 3500.00 for a Myringotomy Tube like I had to. Yucko

  • People, don't do this! If some of that solution gets washed back into your middle ear, you're screwed and you'll end up paying 3500.00 for a Myringotomy Tube like I had to.

  • raise your voice i really cant hearrrrrrr !!!!!!!!!

  • Finally someone has some good advice on how to unclog my inner ear. I can see how this will actually work to open up my eustation tube. It's been clogged for 2 months and I have tried everything, except for this. I'm going to try it as soon as I can get some of that sinus spray ( I already have a Netty) Thank you for posting this helpful video~

  • Damn im pissed off i cant find any video on what to do for a plugged nose cause my nose has been plugged for a month already because i cant smell at all i cant even breathe through my nose

  • @darnell537 Do the first step, with netty pot.

  • i seriously tried this and it made the situation worse. I had an ear infection afterwards. NOT FOR EVERYONE!

  • I've just done this a couple of times and got an intense headache and now I have shooting pains down my right ear.

    great

  • i seen ur website before this vid haha!

  • This is helpful, though I am having trouble keeping my throat closed. Instead, or as a way to try to get around it, I tilt my head as I bend forward and that way the solution seems to stay inside the sinuses and I THINK I feel it around the E-tubes (my problem is blocked E tube in left ear). Any advice on how to master the throat-closing technique appreciated. I've tried and tried :)

  • Never put ANYTHING LIQUID into your ear if you have any kind of infection or a perforated eardrum. I've learned my less....now I get to have a tube in my ear for a year. The Peroxide remedy is dangerous and burns the inside of the delicate ear. When the damage is done, it cannot be reversed and healing takes months or longer. PLEASE see an ENT Doctor for ear problems. PLEASE!

  • @MrJaxon545 ENT Docs dont do shit, they are useless!!! (just venting some anger) I have been to an ENT doctor for 3 seperate visits @$350 each, and pretty much just been told each time to just use nasal spray. WTF

    You will learn far more off the internet than from a doctor these days.

  • @MrNZMade .. What you say is true.... that ENT Docs dont do shit ..

  • @MrNZMade did ur ear get better ?

  • @laylowtech Getting there, regular diving helps, it must just be the exercising of the inner ear....

  • I just buy some...

  • Comment removed

  • fuck this method, it will create infection in ur ear

  • @msg786 actually, it won't f you use the right solution.

  • Its not as easy as it looks IM practicing this to try to get my ear to clear.

  • valsava tech. is something u shouldnt do anyway! Basic saline solution can be done repeatedly when u dont have a totally blocked ear or nasal area. Do the technique or not but know, ent have not solved this ET issue. AMAZES ME, they can tie tiny viens together in an open heart but no money is geared to our ears!! Its not that hard bitch azz docs who chase the moeny fields.

  • @ballershanelle valsalva is required for diving and military free fall operators.  There is NOTHING wrong with it. It is VERY difficult to break your ear drum. And you CAN NOT do it via valsalva unless you have a deficiency in the membrane.

  • The person who was before me... Could you hear poorly out of one ear but good out of the other?if so, that's natural.. If you have a cold your moucous will clog up through your eustachian tube and it's will be hard 2heR...happens to me all the time...

  • ive read alot of everyones comments. my ear is clogged simmiler to yours. did you have a luodness in your when you talked or could you feel your heart pulsating in your ear? or when you breath could you hear the air going in and out of your air passages.? thats what ive been dealing with for several years. ent could not figure it out. educated idiots. please give me some feed back. i would really appreciate it. thank you

  • hi tiff!

    i tried you method after a month of suffering from "clicks" in my ear that was due to sinus drainage. unfortunately, im currently in brazil and we dont have that exact nasal spray, so i tried it with just water and salt. immediately the clicks were gone, but within 5 minutes they came back. now i have the water stuck in my ears and i can feel it drain to my front sinus cavities, but it doesnt come out. i tired everything you suggested and then some. how can i get it out? please reply!

  • i have an otitis... i thikin its medium... well. it started cause i practice swiming and its professional swiming.. and when i made a divve into the watter, i made it the wrong way... so watter came inside my ear... well now im a little bit better.. but i can feel a liquid coming out of my ear with blood.. i know its the infection.. but fuck.. never thout i would have this... its so fustrating...

  • more cushen for the pushin

  • @VgendAirsoft that saying is what perverts say.. freaking loser

  • @iride56s FUNNY! :) LOL

  • OMG THANK YOU!!! I tried this. It actually made me feel worse and dizzy. About 5 minutes later my left ear popped on it's own and started draining! Moments later the right ear followed. For the first time in 2 weeks I can HEAR!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

  • @trina1975 glad the clogged ear remedy worked for you as it does for so many people!

  • Hi there. Ive got ear wax stuck in both ears. .had it now for 1 week...I am taking ear drops? Is it a safe idea to syringe my ears my self or by the doctors?

  • @FunproductionsUK this does not work for ear wax please do not try it.

  • @tiffcady yeah i am going doctors tommorow to get it removed after 2 weeks...

    So i should have it sorted tommroow

  • Neti pots are old fashioned. Use the Neilmed sinus rinse bottle instead. SO MUCH EASIER!!

  • Hey, I have a bit of an issue doing this. I have no trouble blocking my throat and getting the solution inside of my sinuses but I can't seem to make it reach the ears. The eustachian tubes are normally closed, are they not? Well how is it supposed to go in, then? No matter how much I move my head around they do not open and nothing actually reaches the ears. :/

  • @quantum112 Do not try this. Go to the doctor. I was given anti-inflammatory and antibiotics to treat this. It should slowly drain in a bit. If it does not then I will take the extra measures that THE DOCTOR SUGGESTS. Not some fat fucking troll on the internet.

  • @roboedar I do state on my web site that you should not try this if you might have an ear infection as it can stir that up and make it hurt worse. I am sorry you are such an angry soul to feel the need to speak to a stranger who is trying to help people this way. (I removed 3 of this guys other nasty curse filled comments but left this one). So many other posters here say it worked for them. I do not claim that it works all the time for everyone and I am sorry it did not work for you.

  • @quantum112 No the Etubes are not normally always closed, they open and close to equalize the pressure behind the drum. When it is clogged like this, it cannot open at all. Not sure why my cure does not work 100% of the time. I suggest you go the ENT to get your drum lanced instead. It may be the mucus is too thick, or congestion is not your problem. Maybe you have wax outside the drum instead?

  • @tiffcady I did ear irrigation since my post here in both ears, and yes there was some. It helped a great deal. I believe your method has helped my left e. tube work better, I did it a couple of times with a spray with oxymetazoline in (had to pinch nose & blow slightly to get it inside the ears). However, the left ear still feels slightly "different", could be a mild case of glue ear behind the ear drum. Probably gonna get a tympanometry done to see. Thanks for this though :)

  • Thank you so much. I have tried everthing and this worked!!! It had been 3 weeks. Thank you again!!

  • I may have this same problem, got a pain earlier, I thought It was congestion, but the medicine for congestion didn't help, then I felt a fluid... kind of seeping down my ear... it was weird. I don't know what is going on.

  • Hi Dear, my ears have been blocked since almost 7 weeks now, i tryed the way in your vedio it helped me alot my ears didnt pop up open but the pressure is less, now how many times i can repeat this a day????

  • Is it available in the Philippines?

    

  • Is it available in the philippines?

  • i am in day 2 of a clogged right ear. i thought maybe it was wax so i got the drops. nothing. then i saw this video and went out and got all the stuff. did the process and still suffering.  what are the steps afterward? is it an immediate relief?

  • @aprilweseloh no not always immediate relief, try again 3 times in same day, and repeat for 3 days.,

  • Wow this technique works great!!

  • Thanks so much tiffcady, I can feel it working right now! I've been deaf in my left ear for a couple days now and my E-tubes have been inflamed but this is actually having a noticeable effect.

    Namaste

  • THANK U SO MUCH! its been driving me crazy for the past week. i was ready to try anything! I finally came to this and was stunned at the results! Thank you for sharing this!(:

  • does this really work?

  • how much saline stuff do you use? and does saline salt work? thanks.

  • DO NOT DO THIS! I followed these instructions, and my ears ended up worse and I ended up having to go to the emergency room at 6:30 in the morning. Turns out I this caused the mucus to be pushed further into the ear. Now I have an inner ear infection as a result which ended up causing terrible anxiety attacks and now I am on anti-anxiety medication, my ears are still clogged up worse and I have to wait for an appointment with a specialist!

    AVOID THIS "CURE" AT ALL COSTS!

    I WISH I HAD!

  • @eieiowens If you have an ear infection when you try my remedy it will make it worse. You must be pretty sure you do not have an infection before doing it. If you have any fever at all, have pain more than just congestion discomfort, or have green phlegm coming out when blowing nose, then you have an infection.

  • pinching your nose helps, but right now, my right ear is still clogged and i have to tug on the ear a lil bit to get it to unclog. my doc suggest i go see an ent and he said my right ear is inflamed a lil bit thats why he wants me to go see an ent. what do you do if you still cant pop the ear? if i pop it, it will just clog back up again. there were times where i had to wait and let the ear pop on its own.

  • @blueceleste you can do the remedy 3 or 4 times in one hour and repeat daily for 3 days to get it to clear.

    We are diluting the spray quite a bit so you can do it atleast as often as the spray says it is ok, and I have used it more often with no ill effects. Good luck

  • Mam that did not work 4 me..i dont know what else to do

  • Ok , I tried it , it took 6 times , but got there in the end . Thanks to you , I dont have to suffer deafness , which could have been months . I shall be donating to your sit in due course with pleasure . You are a star Tiff

  • @tigerbalmy so many people give up when it does not work right away, glad you kept trying and got the relief!

  • I have done this 4 times now , still blocked though : ( ....

    I left it 10 mins between each one as well .

  • Tried it everyday for the last week and still hearing is not 100%. It's better but not there all the way.

  • i have a chronic sinus infection --two rounds of antibiotics have done nothing. Would you recommend your technique for the clogged ears that I have? My ears feel very clogged from the inside.

  • @matissesoccer do not do if you currently have an ongoing infection but yes if infection is clear you should try it, I believe it would work for you.

  • lady you are an angel, i would kiss you if i was there :) i have been in pain, i searched and i tried home remedies from a sock in a cup, honey on the ear even sucking the ear with a tube, everything was always directed to the ear, today after watching your video i thought it was silly but i said to myself what the hell and in the shower i did as you showed, my ear doesn't hurt as much (is still sore from all those other things i did to it) and my throat is a lot better thanks a lot :)

  • TRYING THIS TOMORROW... IF IT WORKS I WILL SEND $10 MAKE A VIDEO... I AM A YT PARTNER AND CRYYYYYY SO HARD LOL!

  • I have a little pig who's snout gets clogged up after we go truffle huntin' .

    Do you think this would work for her.

  • @TheBuzzCatt LOL it just might!

  • UTTER RUBBISH!!!!

  • @BILLINGHAM36 sorry it did not work for you but as you can see by all the other comments, it does work for many who try it.

  • @tiffcady YES IT WORKS FOR SOME, LUCK, IF IT IS SO SUCCESSFULL, WHERES THE RECOGNITION BY PROFFESSIONALS.

    

  • I've done this several times and still my ears feel clogged. It does help and I can really hear the water when i blow my nose. My ears have been clogged since March!

  • I have been meaning to post on your wall for about a month now. I searched & searched for something to help with my clogged ear problem, & found your YouTube video. I want to say Thank You for sharing your technique with us all. I got fed up one night, went to the 24 Hour Wal-Mart at about 1am, got the stuff to use your technique and finally had relief. My ear hasn't Bern clogged since and I'm going on a month. Thanks so much!!

  • So I did this for my brother, and he said it didn't help him at all. And instead he started complaining about a pain in his right ear (note the ear that is muffled) and it continued to pop. Please help =(

  • Hi, thanks for this method which is more efficient than the original one. Just for information, I do not use a neti pot but a NeilMed Sinus Rinse and it's very powerfull.

    Yours truly.

  • I tried this... it did not work and I ruptured my eardrum at the end after trying to do the valsava maneuver, causing additional complications.

  • FOR THE POOR FOLKS...If you don't have a nedi pot, just get some warm salt water and snort it with both or one nostils.. But don't inhale it.. Let it drain back out...

  • the products she is using is not meant for irregating the nasol passages. I can't believe this woman actually used contact lens cleaner in her nose. Sea Salt or a neti pot solutions is for irragation. of the nasol passages. also it's not healthy to use warm tap water because of the metals, chlorine and other crap found in tap water, Use distill bottle water. I use a sea salt mix I purchased from the health food department at my grocery store. It's better to be safe than sorry.

  • Im about to cry im sooo happy! My ear has been clogged for 9 days and FINALLY after i did this my ear is popping! Im soo excited its finally doing something!!

    Finding your video was the answer to my prayers! Thank you soo much!

  • Why don't you guys have your ears syringed instead? It's a proceedure at the doctors which will take only a few minutes, and then you're unclogged. No long term solutions needed.

    They just pour warm water into your ear from (yes) a syringe, and the high, yet gentle, pressure pushes all the wax out. It's really simple. Next time you're at the doctors, just ask them to syringe your ears. Don't let them give you solution crap.

  • @Kittywhiskers1000 my remedy shown here is not for wax in the outter ear so your suggestion would not work for most of the sufferers who get relief from my remedy. But thanks!

  • @tiffcady This is NOT your remedy. Sinus flooding has been around for a while. Please also post about all of the people like myself who have tried your remedy and ended up back at the doctor for the massive ear infection I got because the solution couldn't drain back out.

  • @RisingSunGraphics You, sir, are an idiot.

  • Can someone help me. Somehow it feels like all the fluid gets stuck in my nose and doesn't go any further, I can't manage to get it into my inner ear. Am I holding my breath too soon or something?

  • Hi Tiffcady, I tried this before but with regular tap water and I was desperated to get my inner ear unclogged tried it for about 4 times and it burned like crazy! now Im going to try it with saline solution but I want to know exactly how much saline to 4-1 to mix? I think I put too much 4-1 solution last time.

    thank you for all your help!!!

  • "A good squirt" lmfao

  • hello....isnt putting the solution into the nose painful?

  • @thepyroexpert surprisingly, no it is not

  • The only 4-Way I've found is in a blue bottle. It's the moisturizing kind. I'm about to go buy a neti pot. I'm going to try this tonight and pray it works:) I'll let you know.

  • how soon should one expect results if it is working for them?

  • @torturedbeacon it can happen right away, over night, or days later. I do not know why results vary.

  • i just tried it out, but need to get the 4way tomorrow from the store. this time used just straight up neti pot. how long after 4way treatment should one expect relief if it works?

  • how the hell do u clog your throat with your tongue

  • Tiffiny, thanks for this. I've tried it a second time and could really feel the solution go into my left clogged ear. How long should I wait until I know if it's worked or not? Will it take a while for the fluid to drain out?

  • i dont believe you! it dosent work! THIS WOMAN PROLLY WORKS FOR 4-WAY BECAUSE ALL SHES DONE IS HELP ME WASTE MY MONEY AND SHE HASNT REPLYED TO ANY OF MY MESSAGES

  • @Slapchop8 sorry I did not see your messages sooner, i do not get on youtube much anymore.

  • This doesn't sound right to me. I'm just sayin

  • my ear is clogged so bad i no longer have hearing in my right ear.. i wanna stick a damn needle in there and just feel the fluid come out

  • I really hope this works. I have a musical next week and I CANNOT sing with my ear like this. This is my last hope!

  • @mimirent94 I know you commented 9 months ago but SAAAAME BOAT! I haven't done it yet... Waiting for my mom to come home and see if a miracle happens.

  • Tried this several times yesterday no success. Had tubes, tried every prescription. Dr says it Eustachian dysfunction. Any other advice. Any would be very helpful!!

  • Hi. So if it doesn't work the first time, how long do you wait to try it again? I'm asking because I'm aware that you shouldn't use the nasal spray to often. Thanks.

  • i was going to try this, i was wathcin git i dont a nettie but iwanteed to try the excersies, i can put my toungue so it closes the thorat?

    sory for many typos ive been up all night with a runny nose and a cough

    thanks:D

  • I have everything except a neti pot I used a turkey baster, it worked exactly the same I did everything you said and no results, help my ear hurts!!! left ear BTW

  • is all these before or after a flight, cos i get clogged ears during and after a flight, and i heard earplanes can balance the pressure in the ear thereby preventing clogged ears, earplanes are earplugs that are designed to do this, i was told i can get them at walmart and i hope it works, i'm about to fly 12hrs to west africa in 2 weeks.

  • @MajorrBison no this is not related to flying in my experience or in many others who report to me about their problem ears. Pressure change in the ear is related to flying but a *clogged* Etube is not. After flying ears should normalize on their own unless there are other things going on.

  • Earol works really well. It has olive oil in it

  • @sufy1000 but only for wax in the outter ear.

  • I had an ear infection a while back myself. The fluid had built up in my middle ear and perforated my eardrum. After this I got given antibiotics which cleared the infection......i think!! But I am now left with a ringing sensation in my middle ear and i have my hearing cut by 50%! I also have popping sounds?? I think I have pus or dirt of some sort which is in my middle ear, blocking my ear tunnel...due to the previous infection! What could I do?? Would this help???

  • I feel my earadicator solution would work for use, most def. You DO have pus stuck in your middle ear, behind the eardrum, and the Etube gets stuck shut, like a vaccum/suction cup type effect. My remedy for fluid in the ear will release the vaccum and let the fluid in the ear drain out, thereby clearing the hearing problem.

  • tiffcady, I made an attempt with the neti pot and 4 way but I think i'm having some trouble with the exercises. I don't quite understand how to keep myself from immediately swallowing the solution. Could you shed some light on your technique? thanks!

  • try leaning forward over the sink at the same time as you tilt your head to let fluid in the nose. When it begins to flow out the other side, tilt head up just a little, when you feel it in throat quickly set down the pot, pinch your nose closed and lean forward over sink again. This will hold the fluids in your nasal cavities, then tilt side to side from there, instead of up and back so much. Do the up and back exercises at the very end.

  • you should not force any foreign mass into your inner ear. nor should a person use the pressure method at all. so i've been told by doctors it reverses the action of the eustachianal tubes. therefor flooding the inner ear canal with potentially infectious fluids.
