Product Information

Some people shouldn’t have ear irrigation, including those with ear conditions such as a perforated eardrum.

The only cleaning necessary is to gently wipe inside the 'bowl' of your ear with a damp flannel over a finger, to clean away the wax from the entrance to the ear canal. The theory is that the suction created by ear candling pulls wax and debris from your ear when you light the candle and place it in the ear canal.However, you might find the drops cause their own discomfort, such as making your hearing worse or irritating your ear. If your ear wax isn’t clearing, try ear drops for 3–5 days initially, unless you’ve got a suspected perforation in your eardrum.

This is because they can damage the ear canal and eardrum, cause the wax to be impacted by pushing it further into your ear canal and could even perforate the eardrum. Ear candles – or Hopi ear candles – are hollow cones made of a fabric tube soaked in beeswax and/or paraffin. Before having these treatments, you'll probably be advised to use ear drops for a few days to soften the wax.Over about 2 weeks, lumps of earwax should fall out of your ear, especially at night when you're lying down. As we get older, ear wax tends to get drier and harder to get rid of, potentially blocking the ear canal. However, this method is no longer considered safe for use as it used high pressure water and could damage your hearing. Hospital Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) departments in different areas have their own criteria for who they treat, but ear-wax removal is not traditionally done by NHS audiology departments, even for hearing-aid wearers.

He concluded that both could cause damage to the ears and he had serious safety concerns about their use by the public, especially given the the inadequate guidance on safe use. If you’re tempted to dig around in your ear with these or other poking devices, such as drills, spades, twiddly gadgets you found online or even your fingers – think again. You may find it easier to do this first thing in the morning, and again just before you go to sleep. Studies show that rubber bulb irrigation which is low pressure could be worth trying before going to the GP and requesting ear irrigation, and could be successful in around half of cases. NICE recommends that ear-wax removal services should be available at your local GP surgery or a similar community setting.Impacted wax blocking the ears can also cause earache or pain, ringing or buzzing in your ears (tinnitus), dizziness (vertigo), itchiness or feeling like your ears are full.
