Ear Wax Remover
14 Answers
I've seen adverts for a gadget that is supposed to remove ear wax. it looks like a sort of corkscrew which you insert into the ear then twist, drawing the wax out. There were some good reviews but I wonder if they were written by agency staff.
Has anyone tried them and do they work? They look a bit dangerous to me.

I use Debrox. I bought it in Walmart when I was in Florida. It works. See here:

I use cotton buds (yea I know I shouldn't) to clean my ears and recently one of my my ears got so blocked, I couldn't hear out of it .... no doubt caused by me repeatedly using the cotton buds and pushing the wax further into my ear.
I bought this kit from my local chemist. I only used the ear drops for a couple of days and then used the syringe bulb to flush the wax out. I syringed about 5 or 6 times and on the last attempt, I knew it had worked, as my hearing came back. I looked in the sink and saw the result of my last syringe ... about 4 blobs of wax.

Many thanks to all who took the trouble to answer. I think that the syringe method looks the best option. I tried Otex once before. I only used it for a couple of days then had to stop for completely unrelated reasons. When I was going to use it again I noticed that the bottle said that it was not to be used after being opened for 30 days. My wife used to be an ENT theatre nurse and she is not keen on syringing but there does not seem to be a viable alternative. At least if it doesn't work I won't be able to hear her saying " Told you so".
please dont stuff things into your ear
