It sounds like you’re referring to ear drops that claim to unclog ears and relieve discomfort. While some products do help, it’s important to be careful—your ears are sensitive! 👂
Here’s what’s really happening:
Why Ears Get “Clogged”
- Earwax buildup – the most common cause of muffled hearing or pressure
- Fluid in the middle ear – often from colds or allergies
- Infections or inflammation – can also cause discomfort
Ear Drops for Wax Removal
- Over-the-counter drops usually contain hydrogen peroxide, carbamide peroxide, or mineral oil
- One or two drops can help soften and loosen earwax so it can naturally work its way out
- Can temporarily improve hearing and relieve fullness or pressure
Important:
- Never use drops if you have ear pain, drainage, or a perforated eardrum
- Avoid using cotton swabs to dig, which can push wax deeper or damage the eardrum
When to See a Doctor
- Persistent hearing loss
- Severe pain, dizziness, or ringing
- Discharge or bleeding from the ear
A healthcare professional can safely remove wax or treat other underlying problems.
💡 Pro tip: A few drops of warm mineral oil or baby oil before bed can prevent earwax buildup, but don’t overdo it—too much can make the problem worse.
