You're endorsing the product that sponsored the video. It's a little frustrating because I was hoping you'd objectively review all the best possible methods. Instead I am clearly steered toward the product that paid for the video.

An important step of drying the ears with a hair dryer after irrigation is often overlooked. One has to make sure the ear gets dry or else risk getting a fungal infection.Once a fungal infection takes hold then special rather potent smelling antifungal drops are needed for around 10 days. Followed by a doctor visit to make sure the fungus is gone and to scoop out any dead fungal spores.

Hydrogen peroxide applied via bulb in the shower works well for me. A hair dryer to dry out the canal afterwards. This technique was recommended to me by an ear specialist.

I had a myrongotomy when I was 15. Ever since then, I've had swimmers ear. I'm not really sure irrigation would be an ideal solution for me as water tends to stay trapped in my ear for a time. I'm still willing to try, I suppose.

I get hard ear wax build up and I use debrox to soften it up. Works great. One time my ears were so cake up with wax I lost hearing and went to nurse. She had me apply debrox for four days, once per day then went i went in she used a sprayer like the one on video to rinse out. I use debrox ever six months now and after a few days of applying, once per day. I usually rinse ear in shower and i keep ears cleaned. If debrox cause pain it is usually if you have a perforated ear drum otherwise see a doctor.

In Canada, ear wax cleaning by a doctor or a nurse is free. Heavy buildup of ear wax will affect your hearing for sure.

The warning about not irrigating with perforated eardrums probably should have been the first thing said in that section of the video.

My primary care doctor suggested Debrox to clean out some hard wax in my ear canal. I put in the drops as instructed and I immediately had severe pain. It was horrible and I tilted my head to remove the liquid and the pain started to lessen in a few minutes.

I read a review on Amazon by a nurse who recommended devices that should have a tri-stream tip instead of a single jet of water-supposedly less invasive, squirts water around the edges of the canal where the wax build up is rather than squirting it straight into the center of the ear.

Your facial expressions while flushing your ear canal! Hilarious.

Olive oil works great to soften ear wax and does not cost a fortune! A couple of drops in the bad ear at bed time for a couple days for hard buildup works very well. The wax will come out in the shower most of the time but sometimes a rinser is needed.

Hi Dr. Cliff. 2 years ago you had another video where you showed what appeared to be the Wax Blaster against another product called the Earigator, and the Earigator seemed to be far better at removing wax. My wife is currently needing wax removal done and need to know which way to go. Do you recommend using the softening solution you recommend first than the Wax Blaster or do you recommend the Earigator?? If you could provide an answer as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!

after all of that the sponsor's product won the best tool award.

Is this product good for skin problems in the ear canal? The skin inside my ear is very flaky and it often itches. The wax is rarely solid; it's more like a transparent/very light fluid or just flakes. I use cotton buds for relief, even though I know it's not recommended. Would irrigation help in my case? Thanks.

Thanks for content I watch every video about best way for clean my ear , and I have Conclusion best way is use water erigasion

How often should someone flush out their ear wax?

Don't really have an earwax problem but now I'm worried as I've been using cotton swabs for years. I tend to wet the tip to provide some irrigation.

Dr Olson, Please review the WUSH from Black Wolf. "WUSH is the NEW safe and effective way to remove earwax. With the press of a button, WUSH generates a massaging triple jet stream of water that gently removes wax build-up and flushes it away."

Thank for sharing powerful information I have learned ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I used to irrigate waxy ears regularly at the urgent care I worked at...he's 💯 % right about this diy

Wow, interesting comments here! So, i did see you responded to the comment about the video from 3 years ago, at the time, this product did little besides helping lossen wax to make it easier to professionally remove it. However, this is a video for people to remove normal wax at home? You mentioned that they improved it, which is great, but any chance of doing a video like the one from 3 years ago to demonstrate that it actually removed the wax? As well, i would be interested in a home electric errigator. Understanding that professional models are both effective and very expensive, would you be willing to test the most popular electric budget minded water errigators found online, such as the KAUGIC Electric Ear Wax Removal Tool etc. Many videos on these things but impossible to know if they are effective and safe from the info given and they are not professionals. Thanks!

I get ear infections consistently every year around fall time. I don’t know why and I have always tried to keep my ears clean. Irrigating the ears was something that I was always told to avoid because of the water not fully drying in the ear. I have had tubes in my ear multiple times because of this. How would the wax blaster MD be beneficial for me?

how often is it safe to irrigate the ears?

As i was looking to order wax master md seen they have wax master md pro opinion if pro is better

Have you looked at the Wush product?

Doc wondering how many year or age of the person have to check the ear if you have ear wax.. I usually use only qoue tips or go to specialist but so expensive

Agree objectivity compromised by recommending product video sponsor. However agree with principle that regular irrigation effective. I use the bottle with flexible pipe. Comfortable to hold and control keeping arms within the sink area.

Ive watched several of this guys videos about EAR wax MD ear wax removal drops so I tried it myself and for me it did not work, it turned my ear wax Into a thick goo and was impossible to remove even after 2 applications and many flushes . It plugged up my ear with no chance of draining out. I now have an appt. with a E N T . Just beware if you have thick deep ear wax , just make a dr. appt. and save yourself the pain. Im sure these videos help some people this was just my experience. Good Luck !

I got a big issue with earwax, do you happen to know about the WUSH ear cleaner? I'm on the fence about it or maybe another at home flush tool.

will try that wax blaster md on your recommendations, whats your thoughts on the electric washers?

I think I pushed cotton swabs too far into my ears when I was a teenager. Unexplained sensorineural hearing loss in both ears, and I remember a specific memory at my friend's house where I felt pain :( maybe unrelated though.

This dude's having an eargasm.

There is a saying down South " Personal hygiene is important, but when cleaning ones ears it is best to use your own truck keys"

Luckily,earwax buildup has bot been an issues. My fine motor skills have are a lot to be desired. My gross motor skills aren’t much better. My concern would be losing the rubber dome inside my. I.think if this happens, it’s due to operator error.. I’m sure one day, i will not secure the dome properly after changing the wax guard. Glad that there are professionals who can do it for me

3:11 How do you even get an elbow in your ear in the first place?

I have a question? If eat drum is damaged for a long time (more than 6/9 months) what will happen , is it leading to hearing loss?

A wax blaster could even make you have more earwax because it's water and if the water inside the ear dries up , it will turn into an earwax anyway

I might have impacted ear wax in my right ear and I dont want to go to a doctor to get this out. Could I use Earwax MD and an endoscope to get it out?

i use a 60ml syringe fill it with warm water thats cool enough to comfortably dip your hand in its warm but not too HOT! i fire that inside the ear and a lump of wax comes out, it doesnt hurt might tickle a little, its instant relief from the pain and loss of hearing its so easy its just natural warm water no salt or oils or soaps or anything just warm water to flush it out it works a treat.

What do doctors charge to remove impacted wax for someone without insurance? I know each doctor will be slightly different I'm just curious for a ballpark figure, I have earwax right on my eardrum and can't hear out of my right ear and it's annoying

I'd like to have the bottle the urgent care used. 100x better but it hurt like hell. My ear got compacted so fast that these OTC devices aren't strong enough. Maybe if I could handle the stuffiness, headaches, itchiness and deafness, it would clear out in a week or 2. They did say I might have an infection, it was very red inside the canal, so crossing my fingers I don't need to ruin my gut health with antibiotics. It came out of the blue like it always does....just hit me 2 days ago. Guess I'll use this as a prevention and irrigate every 3 to 6 months.

I came here after I had an ear infection and my PCP’s PA said he couldn’t even see my tympanic membrane due to the discharge. I ended up using Debrox. It loosened up some really narly crap.

INFOMERCIAL

80 bucks for a spray bottle is insane to me, I don't see the cost being justified

Save money, shouldn't be the key reason. Quality assistance to support proper hearing health in very many countries and with many insurance policies allow for the GP's assistant or hearing specialist to help out. That could be a hassle though. Medical grade olive oil drops can assist too, at home, low cost for all.

You had a video 3 yrs ago saying this product was not effective for removing ear wax. What has changed other than the sponsorship?

Ok but the problem is rotating a Q-tip in my ear feels so good 🫠🫠🫠

"Don't buy gimmicky rubbish online....do buy gimmicky rubbish online, because they've sponsored me"

How does using water irrigation not lead to swimmer’s ear?

If you're using water use filtered water or distilled water just to keep it as clean as possible. Thank you

Oddly enough, Thailand is the one of the best places to get your wax removed if you happen ton be on vacation. Surprisingly they are better than the ear doctors I've tried here in South Korea where they are brutal, and use to nothing to to loosen the hard wax that builds up. What doctors typically do have is the endoscope and a monitor so you and the doctor can actually see what they are pulling / ripping out. Since I am currently stuck in Korea I have some caster oil (?) and Debrox. I hope that works or at least makes the hard wax soft enough to remove. Unfortunately wearing hearing hearing aid actually increases the wax build up by a long shot. Every 3 months at least I have to remove gross hard wax out of my ear, just due to change in weather and having my ears plugged up with hearing aids. Doesn't allow natural decompression.

I used to do industrial cleaning for 2 years. If I can blast caustic solids out of tanks and boilers with water, I can blast wax out of my ears too

Thanks!

I did try many things, what helped me in then end was taking a long hot bath, ears under water. BANG I am free :)

HIS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS WHILE USING THE SPRAY BOTTLE WAS HILARIOUS

Do u have a clinic that's specific of you being there as my doctor I want to find someone that knows are u a professional? Can I make an appointment

will this blaster work on hard as stone ear wax?

Bobby pens (my buddies) is my go to unfortunately 😫. Ive stopled using for several month now and can now hear my self speak. ANNOYING and now a days, painful gor me! My local clinic keeps viven me drops for an inner ear infection or water in my ear u Ive bern threw 2 bottles this far and the same symptoms return weeks later! For sone reason the consistency and texture of my ear wax has changed completely. Really shocks me!! I used to have rando pieces fall out of my ears constantly. Embarassing! Now its more sticky and stics to my ear causing build up and clogged feealing. If i move my head a certain way I can still hear it move around and still causes clogged feeling (hearing myself speak or sometimes loss of hearing ) happening as a result I would love to find one of those video endoscopy because im going to pic regarless! Irrigation does not work for me😫!! The wax blaster MD is my next thing to buy, never seen one personally but as an extreme couponer, im on the hunt 😊! What is the reason for the excesseive build up ive been dealing with for 40 years now? Im sure you have a video on this so i will do my part snd go find it 😊. Thanks Doc. 💯 oh reason im leaving a comment duh🙄😆, i was wonderin why the peroxide isnt goin down in my ear to break up this wax right now?

Or you can use a basic syringe, and just refill it from a bowl while over the sink.

No link to Eosera device

This channel's great, but every ad I've seen here on KZfaq is a scam. It's time to start holding Google responsible. Besides that, this video was awesome, in having issues with my ears, and I'm pretty sure it's a blockage. Thanks for the info

I wonder how healthy the powered flushers are

So, basically a 6:30 minute long advert

So, the Rexall ear cleaning kit with a plastic bulb to blast wax from ears is a recommended method. I just wish the hydrogen peroxide solution was stronger.

I usually use an electric drill. But it can be fatal.

How do I get a hair out of ear?

Come on, what were Q-Tips designed for in the first place?

My back hurts

My ears been clogged for months I've tried drops, peroxide, suck, alp at home

nice ad

Am poor man, suffering in Pain , my ear killing me 😢

Or you can use an old Windex bottle for free, after properly rinsing it.

I was going to buy this & read this on one of the reviews: ***BUT***There's only one problem with this particular product, the rubber pointer that attaches at the nozzle, shoots a direct stream of water into the ear, which is invasive and can be counterproductive. IDEALLY, the rubber pointed tip should have 3 holes so that it diffuses the water's entry into the ear and instead of a direct stream into the tympanic membrane (ear drum), it aims around the cerumen (wax) and dislodges it to move outward. ***NO***This product does not come with the most practical 3-hole rubber tips that diffuse the water best.

The super soaker gets the job done as well at a fraction of the cost

Got right up to the video sponsor and you lost me! While there is good info here, it feels like the whole video is just building up to the sponsor segment as the "solution to all your problems"... You turned a good video about the different methods into an infomercial

Why spend all this money? Go to the pharmacy, buy a 5 ml syringe (obviously without the needle, gosh, ouch!), costs £1. Jump in your lovely warm bath, squirt water in your ears until all the nasty wax comes out. I've used this method for years, every few months, & without problems. So easy to clean out all the gunk in your ears in 2 minutes. No need to use olive oil first. Squirt the warm water into your ear gently at first, gradually increasing the pressure. Stop if you have pain, duh. I use full pressure without problems. Really I dunno why people buy this expensive equipment, when the old syringe does a better and much quicker job? And forget the olive oil in your ear for a week, it's BS, & unless you've got granite earwax rocks, the oil is a messy waste of time. And unless you're a nitwit, don't use this method if you have a perforated eardrum, or a really bad infection. Go see yer Doc.

Lord have mercy I’m bout to bust 5:07

Almost each 2 months my ears getting closed

There's slime in my ear help

I make that face when my wife... 😂

LMAO WHAT A PROMOTION.

Consistently irrigate your ears? What kind of doctor are you? Ear wax is there for a reason.

Why’d he make that face tho

??????

What's up

Dude. Was hoping for good info, 6 minute ad otherwise.

Endorsing what is sponsoring you is pretty suspicious.

I just returned from my doctor, and they sucked mine out. I have tried many methods with no success. Folks, "Go to the Doctor"....

You only talked about 1, 1 tool. ONE. WTF, do you own this tool and sell it, because this video had no real information in it.

don't trust anyone who makes those facial movements when flushing their ears... weird!

Well i trusted this until i realized you was being paid by them. 😢

Endorsing your sponsor- not ethically cool. You basically made a ad video ! Flushing and dissolving the wax is the preferred method but there are many ways to achieve this. Some much cheaper than the product you are endorsing.

A paid product advertisement disguised as an honest professional medical advice. "Doctors" like this are a shame to the profession.

sorry but what you recomand is dangerous! as a kid I had a wax in my ear and went to a doctor. he clean it with irrigation and a spritze. one ear went well. as he did it to my second ear i went screaming and fall on the Botton on the floor because I could not walk anymore. I needed surgery. The irrigation rip open my ear. now most doctors world not flush your ears here in Germany because it happen to often... I think I could sue you in cord if I where in America and you recommend that to me because you are a doctor, if something happen to me? stop recommending dangerous practicing to people, if you call yourself a doctor...

Wow terrible video! Thanks for none of ur help and waste of my time! Appreciate it!

👎 This is not an objective review but an ad

We're watching this video if there's a product that you are sponsored by or you're giving Amazon link then that is the product I will not buy and only leave this video with a thumbs down dislike

Hi, I am not sure what happened or why but a lot of people are commenting things on my videos along the lines of you calling me a disgrace to the HOH/Deaf community. I would appreciate it if you would stop whatever you are saying to people for them to feel the need to let me know this. I make videos regarding my experiences and opinions and i welcome anyone to disagree with me but that doesn't give anyone the right to be disrespectful. Thanks :)

Joined the military in 1999. At MEPS I had impacted wax, and the Dr couldnt see my eardrum to make sure it wasnt perforated. So, they put this big plastic colored paperclip on my collar which designated me a candidate for immediate earwax removal. I was shuttled to a clinic a couple towns over and they used a darned Water Pic to irrigate my ear until a gigantic cone shaped chunk of cerumen fell out into the catch basin. 😂

So basically this is a biased video with the sole purpose of promoting a specific product...in other words just an ad....there are far better products on the market people.. check out the range of electric cheap earwax flush kits online that are cheaper and BETTER than this pathetic plastic overpriced spray bottle.
