Question about getting deep earwax out?

Would it be ok to use this to get hydroge peroxide out of my ear after I pour it in to break up the ear wax instead of a bulb syringe?

Answer:
use a waterpick. they have them at dr offices. it shoots water in your ear at a certain pressure and then sucks it out. they also sell cheap ones at walmart.
Ear wax is a key biological product for protecting your inner ear. Cleaning the wax with a q-tip without going deep into the ear is recommended. You shouldn't be trying to remove anymore than that. Hope that helps.
Ear candling, most salons have it, or places with massage therapy. It doesn't take long, doesn't hurt and helps a lot. But honestly the wax in your ear is helping you more than anything, it keeps outside material from getting inside and causing infections.
I would think that would be OK to use. However I think just by tilting your head the hydrogen peroxide would come right out.

What I used when I had that problem was some ear wax softening drops. Use them for a couple of days and either use the syringe thing to put water in (or the things in the picture) and the ear wax came right out. It was gross and I was surprised at how much could possibly come out of my ear. But it worked, my ear didn't hurt anymore and I could hear.

Used it on my young nephew's ear (when he was around six years old) and we had to take him to doctor anyway because he was running a fever. The doctor was able to just pop that wax right out after it had been softened by the ear drops. The doctor didn't seem to have a problem with us using the drops on him either.
some people produce more than others. you can schedule a cleaning with your annual check up each year. for maintenance, stand in a warm shower and let the water run into your ear canal. this keeps the wax loosened and flushes it out. you can do this monthly. dry with a blow dryer on a low setting. never stick anything into your ears.
I have used debrox and murine ear wax removal. They both work very good, and they are a heck of a lot safer than sticking something in your ear, like a q tip.
