How to Loosen Ear Wax with Peroxide
Ear wax is produced by cerumen glands found in the ear and acts as a protective agent, preventing any bacteria and dirt from entering the ear canal. Usually the ear wax drains itself without any effort, but at times the cerumen glands start producing more wax than normal. The excessive production leads to wax build up, resulting in hearing loss, pain, itching or ringing ears.
If you experience more severe symptoms, such as dizziness and loss in balance, you should consult an ENT (Ear Nose and Throat) specialist for ear wax removal. However, there are a couple of home remedies to loosen mild build ups.
Things Required:
– Eyedropper
– Hydrogen peroxide of 3 percent strength or carbamide peroxide earwax removal solution
– Cotton balls
– Bulb ear syringe
