That sounds like one of those viral “miracle ear drops” claims. ⚠️ Here’s the reality:
🦻 Important Facts About Hearing
- Most hearing loss is not caused by earwax alone.
- Age-related hearing loss, noise damage, or medical conditions usually cannot be reversed with drops.
- Earwax removal is only safe in specific ways.
- Over-the-counter drops like carbamide peroxide can soften wax, but they won’t fix nerve damage.
- Never stick objects or unknown liquids in your ear — risk of infection, eardrum rupture, or permanent damage.
- Medical attention is required for sudden hearing changes.
- Sudden hearing loss is a medical emergency — call an ENT immediately.
- Chronic hearing loss may require hearing aids or medical treatment, not home drops.
✅ Safe Home Ear Care
- Softening wax: Use FDA-approved drops or mineral oil.
- Gentle irrigation: Only with proper devices and following instructions.
- Keep ears dry and avoid cotton swabs deep in the canal.
⚠️ Red Flags
- Pain, discharge, or ringing (tinnitus)
- Sudden hearing loss
- Dizziness
These require professional evaluation, not home remedies.
