I tried peroxide and baby oil. I bought expensive drops (Murine and sweet oil). Then I read the lables to find they are peroxide and olive oil. All the drops and oils did restore my hearing though I still had trouble with my left ear. But the wax remained. Then I read a review about the syringe (which I had bought along with the removal kit). The fellow said don't be afraid to really blast it because the stream is not directed at the eardrum but at the canal walls.

Well with that encouragement we repeatedly blasted my left ear with warm water and peroxide! Out came two plugs with the combined size of a cigarette filter! Blasting my right ear brought out a plug about half that size!

I bought this product in times of desperation and I'm glad I did! I've had ear wax problems for years. This syringe cleared wax blockage that dated 1/2 a year old. Even drops have not come close to this! The water shoots wax out of your ear so be careful to catch it in the sink. Use warm water. That's important. Also tilt your head while you do it. I have had no nausea problems but be careful. I like this product because you can use all the force you have and all the water you have, and it's impossible to harm your inner ear! I highly recommend! You won't believe how much wax this syringe removes - it was startling for me!

Like already stated by previous reviewers, this product works well in conjunction with ear wax removal drops. I tried using the syringe without using drops and it didn't work for me. I get wax buildup deep within my ear which may have been a problem. Anyway, I tried using some generic ear wax removal drops from Rite Aid first, and then after about ten minutes I tried using the syringe again, and it worked.

In order to avoid getting dizzy, you must fill this up with warm water. Sometimes, the shock of cold water will make you vomit or woozy. You'll also need someone to actually blast the water inside of your ear. It's really difficult to do it on your own which is why I'm only giving it 4 stars. I also recommend that you slightly tilt your head to the side towards that ear where you are using this syringe (as if to rest your head on your shoulder). That way, water will run inside your ear, but because of gravity, it will come back down. This thing really works! The pressure of the water will actually cleanse all that junk in your ear. But be warned, some may not find it comfortable.

After reading about the expensive version of this product, I was glad to see someone made a simple easy to use version. I have had excessive earwax in my ears and always end up pushing the wax in with Q-tips. Then end up going to the doctors every year or so to remove the wax. With this product I used warm water and after about 6 or so times in each ear my ear felt like they took there first shower in decades! It is a great feeling.. I would Highly recommend it.

My husband had extremely waxy ears. He'd wash his ears in the shower each morning, but have soft, waxy build-up by the end of the day.

He went to the doctor's office when it got really bad, but the results were hit or miss. Sometimes he'd get a fantastic nurse who would take the time and effort to rinse them until the "stuff" came out, and sometimes he'd just get waterlogged ears and have to pay a co-pay for it.

We tried the usual at-home solutions, various drops and the blue rubber bulb, but they didn't do much for him.

I went looking for something that could bring him relief, and eyed this tool skeptically. Despite the positive reviews, I think it just seemed too good to be true. When it got to the point where his hearing had significantly degraded and it was either settle for one of the old options or try this, we finally ordered it.

This tool just WORKS. It's so simple and inexpensive, but it really is effective.

I think it's an awkward angle for one person to do alone (not impossible, just harder), so he sat in the bathroom and held a bowl under his ear while I pushed the water in. A tip: when you first try this, gently squirt some water in from a couple different angles. I was careful and thought I was in the right position, but about halfway through I unintentionally shifted and he could immediately tell the difference. He felt like the water was hitting the right spot then, so try to find the best position for you before you really get going.

(Warning: a bit gross) At first, little things came out, which was encouraging but the problem wasn't solved. I kept going, using strong "blasts" of pressure, and after a few minutes a big ball suddenly flushed out. He said his hearing felt like it went from 50% to 90% instantly.

I think for people who's ears suffer from actual obstructions, the drops and rubber bulb may trap more moisture inside the ear, exacerbating the problem and feeling uncomfortable. This syringe uses sufficient force to get the blockage OUT, but it's safe because of holes that push overflow water backwards so the pressure isn't too great.

The drops and bulbs are effective for many people, but if they're not enough for you, this tool may finally solve your problem like it did ours. Ear wax may seem like a comparatively small or even embarrassing issue, but my husband was so much happier when he could finally hear clearly again (and have the tool to keep it that way).

My only regret about this product is we didn't buy it much sooner!

I have had major ear wax build-up for years. When I tried this product alone, it got a little wax out, but not very much compared to how much was left in my ear. When I used it after putting Similasan Ear Wax Relief drops in my ears for three days, then everything came out. This syringe is good for minor ear wax build-up problems used by itself; for serious ear wax build-up, use it in conjunction with the Similasan Ear Wax Relief drops, and you'll be all set. The three-fold spray helps the water get behind the wax and pushes it out. You can force the water out as hard or as gently as you want, depending on how sore your ear is and how blocked up it is. It's awkward to use by yourself, but it can be done; however, I would recommend having someone else do it for you if possible.

Always scared of injuring my child's ear drum with a cotton tip so used this tool instead. Works well but for heavy wax producer, you should apply it at least five times per ear and prep each ear beforehand by putting a liquid ear wax softener. People use homemade remedies such as hydrogen peroxide, olive oil (sometimes called sweet oil), baby oil, or mineral oil. Hydrogen peroxide is painful for me because it bubbles so I don't use it.

Apply a few drops of lukewarm wax softener into each ear by eye dropper (I use a baby syringe used to give medicinal doses to babies) and stuff a cotton ball in the ear to hold the liquid in. Wait fifteen minutes to take effect, meanwhile set aside two cups of lukewarm water and fill up the ear syringe and affix the tip. After fifteen minutes have passed, follow the syringe instructions to squirt the water. By the fifth squirt of water, you should see some brown wax pieces fall out of the ear. Repeat the process to the other ear. Drain any remaining water from your ear by your favorite safe method of shaking your head or whatever and put in a couple of rubbing alcohol drops to disinfect and dry the ear or use hydrogen peroxide or use a hair dryer. Total removal of ear wax is not necessary since a little ear wax actually helps maintain a pH balance that inhibits growth of certain bacteria and fungi.

Awesome product... Now my ears are cleaned almost after 15 yrs.

Fill the syringe with warm water, place it firmly into ur ear and flush it(the more speed, the more ur ears clear and NO, it wont hurt ur ears) 3-4 times.

If ur wax is too hard use any ear drops which softens it and then use syringe.

And no, I dint take anyone's help. I did it myself. U shud hold the syringe in correct position.

It kind of freaked me out after using this...I'd forgotten that things like sheets rustle when you move in them at night and the that carpet makes a sound when you step on it with bare feet.

This device is awesome...takes a lot of work (i.e. you have to do it many times and give some time in between if you're like me) but it's so worth it and better than pretty much anything outside a professional doctor's office. Bless whoever came up with the design.

Just keep doing it until you start getting out gobs of wax. You need to press it hard. The design means you can put it in as far as it'll go and press down with all your might and you won't hurt yourself...the water squirts out the sides of the tip as shown...a lot nicer than the ball type designs. Didn't give me a pressure headache either.

Definitely do it near a sink...you'll be using a lot of water and it can get messy.

Also, I waited very eagerly for this for almost a week...when it came and I used it, I was singing its praises very loudly. So my boyfriend ran to CVS (where I had looked but not found anything like this) and returned with the identical item in different packaging. He paid only about $2 more and didn't have to wait. Just FYI.

No matter where you buy this though if you or someone you know has wax issues, this is SOOO worth it. Really works on the very oily wax too.

This is a quality of life issue...knowing now how well it works and how much annoyance, pain, and bad hearing it has corrected, I'd say the benefit gained was worth hundreds of dollars (how much I would have paid a doctor for this result). Not that I'd pay that when it's available for this price, but still :)
