Product Information

In this short blog, Professor Martin Burton looks at the evidence on ear drops for removing earwax, and some things to think about, including whether you need to remove it at all. Professor Burton is an ear nose and throat doctor and an author of the Cochrane Review on ear drops to remove earwax. Essex Clear Ears was founded in 2019 by Mitch under the pretence of providing a much needed service of ear wax removal. It evolved from his experiences in the NHS and the delays in getting the patient's the care they needed. Do not insert hearing aids immediately after use but allow at least 15 minutes for any residue to be removed

We opened our 1st Hearing Care Clinic in October 2021 where we can fulfill the needs of the community by providing unbiased views of all ear related concerns. From noise and water protection, to flashing doorbells and TV help, to advice on NHS vs Private hearing aids.The blog is based on an earlier version published 26 July 2018. It has been substantially revised and republished 24 March 2023 Take-home points Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS. Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication. Softening the wax with ear drops may be enough to allow the natural processes of elimination to occur so that the wax comes out of the ear on its own. Just like it should do. So, if time allows, simple softening and a ‘wait and see’ approach may be enough.

Earwax is normal. It is produced by glands in the outer part of your ear canal. In most people, most of the time, it is not a problem. But not always. Usually the wax passes out, along the ear canal, into the bowl of the ear; it doesn’t produce any symptoms, and doesn’t ‘build up’ in any way. All hospital ENT departments have the equipment and skills to do micro-suction but not all are able to offer the service to the general public. Some GP practices also do it and – increasingly – it is being offered by private providers (sometimes in association with hearing aid provision). Making a choice about treatment? Think BRAIN!In our Cochrane Review, we did not find any evidence to tell us whether using water or saline (salty water) was better than doing nothing.

Not many people taking part in the research studies had unwanted effects from ear drops and these were mild, such as slight irritation or pain or unpleasant smell. Every so often we come across a patient who is sensitive or allergic to one of the chemicals contained in some drops. This is more likely when the drops contain active compounds or preservatives. So this doesn’t happen with plain water drops. What are the alternatives? It soon became clear that this was a much needed service and with the help of a local optician, a regular clinic was established which has enabled Essex Clear Ears to expand to the service you see today. The effervescing action of earclear ear wax remover is sometimes but not always heard in the ear. Even if it cannot be heard, earclear ear wax remover is still working to break up and disperse the wax. Find out more about how earclear ear wax remover works. 08. Can the earclear ear syringe be inserted too far into the ear?

Trying to remove earwax by putting objects (including cotton buds) into your ears can push wax deeper and damage your ear drum. Ear candles can cause serious injury (and there is no evidence that they are helpful). What are your preferences? This depends on the severity of the ear wax build-up. For a minor build-up you may get relief after one day of treatment where a stubborn build-up may require the full 4 days of treatment. 04.

Using cotton tips may push wax deeper into the ear canal and contribute to another ear wax build-up. 10.
