Yes you can although you have to be triple sure that your ear drum is not punctured or burst. You have to consult a doctor to find that out. And be sure you don't have a solid ear wax plug where the hydrogen can wiggle its way behind and with no room left to expand it can damage your ear

If you are sure it is not punctured and you don't have an ear wax plug, you can put a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in the ear. This will give you a fizzing sound. After a few minutes take a clean wash cloth and turn your head over to drain the peroxide. Then put some alcohol in the ear to dry it out. Make sure you get out all the peroxide because 'left overs' will make your ears fizz for a long time

Absolutely, because hydrogen peroxide destroys bacteria. In fact, when you are sick with any illness, it is good to put peroxide in your ears in order to take the stress off of your immune system. I am sure that you are aware that there is a lot of bacteria in your ear. Well, peroxide will fizz and bubble considerably when it comes into contact with bacteria. Because of this, it will be somewhat noisy and may tickle. It will make you feel better afterward.

You can, but it leaves water behind and this water can make bacteria grow in your ear causing an infection. So, the answer is no, you shouldn't.
