Heat works no matter what people say
Louise in Epsom, England, UK -OK right when I was 8 yrs old I had this earache hurting so bad the only remedy I thought was death. But my mum heated my hot-water bottle and put it against my ear and after five minutes the pain was gone and after 2 days I went to the doctors to see if I did have an infection, and I didn't so I say HAH! to all the people who say it just causes infection.

Release pressure
jon in norfolk,va -
It depends on the earache and how you got it but usually I just try to relieve the pressure. When I was little my parents would blow smoke in my ears, or pour some kind of cooking oil. Didn't really matter what kind. I also chew on something pretty firm, a hardened piece of gum, rubber or plastic. Putting a warm cloth over your ear may help too. Good luck.

Olive Oil
Nancy in Temecula, California USA -Lightly warm up a few drops of virgin olive oil. Drop into hurting ear with a droppper or you can use Q-tips to put olive oil into the ear. Be careful to not puncture ear drum.
Never put hydrogen proxide in your ears, it will dry out the ear canal per a nurse friend of mine.

Peppermint Oil
Marlène in Florida, USA -I had swimmer's ear. First, I tried the good ol' heated onion trick (Put chopped up onion in a thin lady's sock and heat in microwave. Wrap in dish towel and place on ear.), but that didn't work out to well. Then, I went online and saw that a hair dryer worked for some people (Hold hair dryer on low/medium 6-12 inches from ear for desired amount of time.), but, also, not for me.
Then, I saw that lots of oils were used in earache remedies. I remembered how often I use peppermint oil for headaches, so I thought "why not try it on my ear?". So I dabbed a q-tip in 3 drops of peppermint oil and applied it outside and somewhat inside the ear canal. Turns out, IT WORKED! My ear kind of tingles now, but not in a bad way. Maybe peppermint oil is some kind of natural asprin...?

Hydrogin proxide in ear
Victoria in Yuma,AZ -Take a cotton ball and wet it with hdrogin proxide. Then put 2-3 drops of it in your ear. Finally lay with your bad ear faceing upward and stay there for 5 minutes. While I was on vacation visiting my grandparents in PA I got a terrible earache and I did this and the pain was gone in about 10 minutes. ※hope this helps※ !)

Hair dryer
busby in seattle, wa usa -Get a hair dryer and turn it on medium and hold about 12 inches away from your ear and let that hot air blow in your ear 4 about three minutes, if it don't work after a couple minutes repeat process and do it again. After that get some cotton and put it in your ear, but before that step with the cotton, put some sweet oil in but heat the oil up first, don't get the oil to hot.
