important info number one baking soda let's get this one out of the way first
after all if you've been watching this channel for a while then chances are
you're expecting baking soda to make its way on this list anyways to use baking
soda to remove excess earwax all you have to do is dissolve half a teaspoon
of the stuff into some warm water and let it drip into your ears with a
dropper bottle then flush it out with some water an hour later
rinse and repeat this process once a day until your ears start to feel a little
bit clearer just make sure you're not doing this for any longer than two weeks
and it should be smooth sailing from there number two oil the reason that oil
can be effective at treating ear wax is because ear wax in itself is a wax like
substance which means that some oils can be used to soften up the wax and make it
easier to remove suggested oils for getting rid of your wax include coconut
oil baby oil glycerin olive oil and mineral oil just drip a couple drops
into your ear for about five minutes once or twice per day you can also warm
the oil beforehand to make for a slightly less unpleasant experience just
make sure that you don't try warming it in the microwave
number three hydrogen peroxide for another possible solution to earwax
related problems a few drops of hydrogen peroxide may also do the trick
drips somewhere between five to 10 drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide into your ear
and keep your head tilted for about five minutes before rinsing it out repeat
this process once per day for somewhere between 3 to 14 days and you should
start experiencing cleaner ears and cleaner hearing number 4 water
irrigation if you don't have any sort of the above items on the list currently
lying around your house you can always just try to flush out the wax with some
good old-fashioned water to irrigate excess wax from your ears fill a small
rubber bulb with warm water and gently squeeze it into your ear while allowing
the water to run back out into a basin bowl or a towel you can always just
combine this with any of the other methods we've already mentioned in case
you're looking for a double down on ear cleaning techniques what not to do as
you can see there are a number of useful home remedies which if used correctly
can provide a safe and effective relief for buildup levels of earwax however for
every safe and effective home remedy there are just as many supposed remedies
for excessive ear wax which may in fact be potentially dangerous to attempt for
starters you should always avoid sticking small objects in your ear in an
attempt to dig the wax out as this could potentially damage your ear and before
you ask yes this includes cotton swabs also while some people swear by the use
of ear candles these could potentially cause burns and even potentially damage
your eardrum so make sure you avoid those as well if your ear wax problem is
getting especially hard to deal with you should probably speak to your doctor
in order to see if there are any other procedures that can potentially help you
out hopefully you are able to find this
