What is the safest gooey to put surrounded by your ears for an earache?

I ask because I recently developed Tinnitus which I don't want to label any worse!What is the safest gooey to put surrounded by your ears for an earache?
Sweet Oil
Mineral Oil.
Please do not put anything into your ears before you see a doctor. If you hold an ear ache it could tight-fisted that there is an underlying problem that requests medication. Also, the inner ear is a very sensitive and vindictive place. Before you put anything into your ear speak with your Dr. Even tender him a call to ask your examine. You may not even need to budge in. He also may be capable of give you a prescription or something better than grease that isn't a prescription. Check it out.
Hope you feel better : )
