Simply tilt head and squeeze up to five drops into the ear. leave for a few minutes and then wipe away any surplus with a tissue.

This procedure should be repeated once or twice daily while your symptoms clear.

Treatment usually takes 3 - 4 days. after which you should notice a reduction in ear discomfort.

Ear wax is produced naturally by tiny glands in the ear canal. and normally forms a thin film as part of the ear’s natural cleaning system. Ear wax is important for keeping our ears healthy and clean. protecting against infection.

Excess ear wax is normally lost from the ear almost unnoticed. for example when sleeping or towelling our hair. Problems arise when the ear produces too much wax. which can build up and harden in the ear.

Build-up or hardening of ear wax can make our ears feel blocked and uncomfortable. It can sometimes cause difficulty in hearing. In severe cases. the ear canal can become painful. with temporary hearing loss. dizziness and loss of balance as a result. When this occurs. the ear may need syringing/microsuction by a medical professional.

When ears feel waxy or blocked. there is a temptation to reach for cotton buds but this should be resisted; they will only make the condition worse by impacting and pushing the wax further in. Using cotton buds may also cause serious damage to the ear.
