This is the first time I have ever had an ear infection. I'm 66 and can't deal with the pain or sleep well at night. Thanks for your video. I have been putting in my ears drops all wrong.

I have Swimmer's Ear and my ear is so swollen that even laying on my side for a half an hour the antibiotic drops still kept pouring out! Now they're going down no problem! Thank you!

I’m so grateful for this video, I literally had a panic attack because after I put the drops for about 5-10 minutes nothing was happening, it felt like I was under water . First time having an infection and did it all wrong but you saved my life 😊 thank you

This was the best advise video...all these years my swimmers ear never completely cleared up...no one ..not even ear specialist showed me this method.. I suffered with shooting pains because drop were not administered using pumping method...Thanks to Dr Chang for great advise ...!

[amandamoriah]

I just took my first dose and did it completely wrong. Thanks so much for this video! It helped so much!

I was prescribed antibiotic eardrops and I was applying them entirely wrong for the last 5 days... Thanks for this helpful video!

As someone who has never had to use ear drops before this has been very helpful

[rsultra]

Thank you for your great instructional video. The RX has not information that helps, but yours does.

Having your canal up close is very scary because you don’t know if your hearing is coming back, especially when you’re sleep and you wake up with your canal shut. I cannot lay down in a dark room and not being able too hear anything that would drive me crazy . Mines closed up a few times while I was driving, it was a scary moment for me

[wonderwoman]

Thanks so much for this. I kept getting a pool of ear drop mixture that wasn’t going down properly until I tried this technique :)!

It's ridiculous and incredible to me that doctors don't explain the correct way to put in ear drops like this. It's absolutely useless without pumping that cartridge part of the ear. Thank you for this video. I'm 62 and this is the first time in my life that I am having to use an eardrop, and neither of my 2 kids ever needed them in their childhood. From other medical experiences with doctors as an adult, I learned to go right to YouTube to look for how to do something that should be very simple with doctors need to explain.. Again, THANK YOU.

Thank you ! My daughter was just prescribed ear drops yesterday but I had no idea how to use them .

4 days being tormented no sleep and with just 1st session of the antibiotic ear drop the pain just instantly gone if only i knew how to treat this ear infection sooner...last night i was so furious because i can't sleep because of the pain severe pain the agony is real... Thanks to this antibiotic ear drop I'm back to normal and can finally take a sleep without torture... Effective shit i say... Thanks for this vid i knew how to apply it...really thank you..

Pumping the cartilage was a huge help for me, that tip alone almost fixed my swimmers ear before adding the drops.

I was just having an ear infection just now and then now l feel even more better after settling the infection.
