Posted Jan, 2013 by Aliveplushearing

You're probably aware that cleaning the wax out of your ears can be a dangerous thing to do. Doctors always warn us "Don't put anything smaller than your elbow inside the ear canal". Whilst we know it's dangerous, wax buildup can impact on our earing so are there any safer ways to get the wax out? Thankfully yes there are.

Your first option is to see a physician and get professional assistance. This is the way to go if you have an acute problem. If you suffer from continual wax buildup you might want a solution that doesn't involve visiting the doctor every time you need to clean out your ears. If this is the case there are a number of products for you to choose from. The following options can all be used at home - so put down that q tip and give them a try.

Audiclean Ear Cleaning Spray

Audiclean cleans earwax and reaches areas cotton buds cannot reach safely. It can be used just to maintain good ear health or to clear wax buildup. The seawater minerals and bicarbonates contained in Audiclean disperse the earwax so that it can be easily removed.

Cerumol Ear Drops

This preparation contains chlorobutanol, dichlorobenzene and arachis oil (peanut oil). It works in a similar manner to Audiclean in that it softens the wax for easy removal.

Once the drops have been administered, the wax may remove itself.

Earigate Ear Cleaning System

Earigate Ear Cleansing System is a 100% natural solution as it contains only natural-source sea water. It can also be used in 2 ways; to quickly and safely remove earwax, or to decrease earwax build-up. Earigate Ear Cleansing System is safe for use on both adults and children.

Waxsol Ear Drops

Waxsol has been scientifically proven to disperse ear wax and thereby help its easy removal. The active ingredient is Docusate Sodium and it can be applied over 2 nights. The wax may then be removed by the normal cleansing process.

All of these products work by penetrating and softening the buildup of wax. If you find that the problem persists after use, make sure you seek out professional advice.

Remember, your ears are a sensitive and vitally important organ so treat them as such. Next time you have wax buildup ensure you clean it out the safe way!
