Elephant Ear Washer Bottle System by Doctor Easy, Ear Wax Remover

Product Information

The light mineral oil lubricates the ear canal, allowing the liquified earwax to slide out naturally.

This is a Schedule 8 medication and can only be supplied if the prescription meets all relevant Australian health regulations. If your ears are producing normal amounts of earwax, nothing will likely happen if it isn’t removed. You shouldn't need to remove earwax at all, as it acts as a natural barrier for your ear canal, trapping dust, dirt, and bacteria and preventing any injuries to the delicate area.

If you see wax on your earbuds or wireless headphones, then you might have buildup. Simply seeing it doesn’t necessarily mean you have buildup, however. “People are now coming in with pictures of their ear canal that they’ve taken on their smartphones, ‘proving’ their wax,” Dr. Chandrasekhar says. “Unfortunately for them, the ear canal is not straight and they have often just taken a picture of the wall of the canal, which may have a little wax on it — but the lumen, or opening, of the canal is just fine.” If you try one of our recommended cleaning kits, you’ll be able to tell right away if there’s buildup, since there will either be wax that leaves your ear, or there won’t be. Dr. Schweitzer also recommends kits that can remove the wax without worsening the plug of wax (which can get inadvertently knotted into hair cells). “Professionals usually use a lighted loop tool to pull out a buildup after ‘irrigating’ with a sterile solution,” he says. Should you want to combine several techniques for a seamless removal, you can combine drops or a liquid solution like hydrogen peroxide — such as the QISXROVY Ear-Cleaning Kit — to break up the hard wax, and then use a tool like the Ototek Loop Ear Wax Removal Device to scoop out the pieces. Ear drops are an affordable and effective treatment. A drop or two of specially-formulated liquid, left to work for a few minutes several times a week, is usually enough to make even hardened ear wax disintegrate and come out of your ear naturally – without the need to push foreign objects into your ear canal.

According to the authors of a 2010 systematic review, it was unclear from the existing research whether ear irrigation or mechanical methods were more beneficial for removing earwax. However, they noted that certain softener drops were effective. It protects and moisturises the skin of your ear canal. This prevents it from becoming itchy, dry and all-round irritating. Price may be a factor to consider, as well as ease of use and what the kit includes. Some kits have a spray bottle with a longer tube and tip at the end, while others have a syringe with a needleless catheter-like tip on the end. The kit may also include a basin, disposable tips, a towel, and softening drops.As mentioned earlier, generic cotton swabs are generally regarded as a no-go by experts. “They will mostly push the wax in deeper, past the middle narrowing of the ear canal which is called the isthmus,” says Dr. Chandrasekhar. (Plus, they can scratch the skin of the ear canal, leading to bleeding, pain, and even the risk of infection.) That’s where this handy tool is different. While it may be similar in use to your average Q-tip, it contains a spiraled head that gives wax a place to go: namely, outside your ear, versus farther inside. A: Minerals found in sea water have properties that help cleanse ear wax, and the spray action helps flush debris from the ear. This is a popular solution to ear cleansing in Europe.
