Ear Care

Ears clean themselves, and most wax trouble comes from pushing it deeper with cotton buds. Softening drops let it work its own way out.

What to know before you choose

Do not put anything in an ear that is painful, discharging, or may have a perforated eardrum.
Wax softeners usually need a few days of use before the ear clears.
Sudden hearing loss, dizziness or ringing is a reason to be seen, not a reason for drops.
