How To Remove Ear Wax Safely at Home

In this short video, I share an effective, quick and easy method for how to remove ear wax safely at home. I have been using this ear wax removal method for over five years.

The main reason I started removing ear wax and cleaning my ears at home instead of going to the doctor was for two reasons. Number one, it saves me money and number two, the nurses and/or doctors usually use a metal loop tool to scoop the ear wax out of my ears. This method I have found is a bit unpleasant and can sometimes be painful.

First step is to take the hydrogen peroxide and drop 4-5 drops in one ear. Then lay on your side for 10-15 minutes and let it fizz in your ear. After the fizzing has stopped, take a little toilet paper and soak up the remaining hydrogen peroxide out of your ear.

Then using medium hot water and the ear wax removal syringe, pump 15-20 syringe full into your ear over your sink. This process is a bit loud if you have not done it before. You may notice some ear wax junks falling into your sink.

After you are finished, repeat the process in your other ear.

If the wax has really built up over time and there is a severe blockage, you may need to repeat the entire process for a couple nights in a row to really soften the buildup of wax in your ears.

I hope you have found this video helpful on how to remove ear wax safely at home.

Actually what we do in the ED is mix peroxide with mineral oil and put a few drops in the ear. Peroxide alone irritates the ear and does not soften the wax. It just makes it detach from the sides of the canal. It is the mineral oil that softens the wax. Second, please do not use your sink to fill the syringe with water. It is full of bacteria and you are using contaminated water when your ear drains into it. Use a well washed container for the water to be injected into the ear and flush it in the sink.

This is what Youtube is all about, sharing knowledge with everyone. Tens of thousand now don't have to waste money that could be used better elsewhere not to mention not having to go to the doctor full stop. The one time I did it, it was a painful and un pleasant experience that I never did again and I bet I could do with getting rid of some more ear wax 2 decades later.

My left ear was completely blocked, half deaf. I tried this method and my ear is completely clear after 5 days. Very grateful. No doctors bills!

I can't thank Christ enough for leading me to this video. My 10 year old has had problems with blocked ears for a long time now. There was so much hardened wax in her ears and I had no idea how to tackle it until this video came up. We did her right ear first. On the first attempt, not much happened and her hearing wasn't any better, it actually went worse because her ear became fully blocked. So we tried again the next day. Then after about 4 pumps of the syringe, so much wax started to come out. Chunks of it. On around pump 12 she could hear again. She cried so much that her hearing was back. Then we started the left ear. Again, on the first go, not much happened. But the next day, on the second attempt, chunks were coming out of that ear. I have never seen her ears so clean and she is getting used to hearing things so loudly now. Thank you for posting this video. (We used distilled water).

This worked for after the second try! My ear was clogged for three days. I feel SOO much better. THANK YOU!

[Theactualgamer]

All these videos i watched of doctors telling me how to clean my clogged didn't do shit. Yet your video fixed my problem within 20 minutes. You're an absolute legend. Thanks a million.

Honestly the best FLUFFING thing to do! This was extremely helpful after being a little clogged up and not being able to hear from one ear for 2 months and didn't have time to go to the doctor it was driving me The piece that came out was scary but man that was it. I never comment on YouTube videos but this ONE was so AMAZING i will hype this off for years to come! Thank you so much!

[jicaley]

Absolute legend! Ears blocked for weeks and thanks to you I can hear again. Worked perfectly for completely blocked ears. Many thanks 👍

[scottbillingham]

Had a blocked ear for over two weeks due to a nasty sinus infection. Within ten minutes of trying this it had completely opened it back up, flushed out all the gunk and now I can hear a pin drop. Thanks bro!!!!

Now i can hear my mom's footstep before she even walk

[anamariacastrosalinas]

Such a great technique!! Thanks for sharing. Actually I did exactly what you said here but I read it online, and it worked just fine!!! I had a gigantic black wax come out of my left ear. I feel happy for videos like this, because it saves so much time and money and it's way less traumatic than what they do at the doctor's. Thanks!

I have been suffering for weeks and have tried lots of different drops from the chemist, but nothing worked until I tried this. I can't thank you enough as it worked first time, such a relief. Thank you

This is probably the best video I've watched on removing earwax. I can't count how many times I've tried to get ENT doctors to remove my impacted earwax, and they just do a quick look and say nothing is there when really there is.

hey man, you probably won't see this comment but in case you do, i just wanted to let you know how much i appreicate you. My ears for some reason would always clog up intensly after a month or two after treating it at the doctor and i was getting fed up with it. My parents would have to spend lots of money just so i can hear properly. I wanted to find an affordable but effective solution, that's when i ended up watching this video. Going through with it i was really skeptical and wasn't sure if it would work. I tried doing it yesterday, nothing happened, then i tried it again today and holy shit the sink was filled with wax and my hearing was clearer than ever. I can't thank you enough. Thank you so much man you saved me.

My left ear was plugged and sore. Doctor gave me drops and said to come back in a few days but it was driving me nuts. Did this twice with an hour rest in between and it worked perfectly. I will do this twice a year from now on. Thanks.

I came back to say thank you! I have a teen who's ears get clogged so bad he can't hear. We have to take him to the doctor to get them cleaned and he says it hurts. The last time he said the nurse told him the rest was too far down to clear out. This trick got all the wax. Every bit of it. He put the scope down there b4 and after and the difference was amazing. I mean it was gross too but it worked great!!
I left b4 and after pics on the product on amazon just now.

[iLoveKibumAndHeechul]

Thank you for this!!!! For everyone wanting to try this: trust the process! It might be kind of intimidating and the clog might get worse before it gets better but I seriously just cleared out 20 year old wax from my ears and I’ve never felt more alive

[jeanclaudevandam]

I just did this an hour ago. I was having issues laying a my side. My ear would just clog up and constantly bother me. I used this tool and this method and it worked great. After the first 10 flushes I heard the difference in the sound. I checked my ear with my finger and felt the biggest piece of wax I have ever seen. I couldn't believe it came out of my ear. It was unbelievably satisfying. Thanks for the help and I recommend this to everyone.

[MsAngelwings]

Honestly cannot begin to recommend this more, I had the most stubborn wax buildup coupled with getting water in my ear from the beach and this method finally cleared both my ears completely. I can hear ten times better now, thanks so much!

This technique worked great! My son's ear was blocked for a week. We tried an ear irrigation flushing system, as well as, an electric vacuum tool for ear cleaning and neither worked - 25 bucks down the drain. Then I came across this video and so glad I did! It worked the first try! My son is thrilled that he can hear again and doesn't have to go to the doctor! Thanks JMG!
