Does anybody here use Debrox for build up of ear wax?

It used to work somewhat but not today. Is there an alternative? My wellness center here at Masonicare doesn't have someone designated to do it, and I have to travel to a doctor's office if I want it done. I would prefer to use the Debrox but would welcome suggestions for another medication that works!

1. It doesn't work!

Saline solution like nasal spy that can be used like drops, or hydrogen peroxide put in a small bottle with dropper. I had my ears blown out Apr 29th and have been using both of those solutions since. So far so good. Best of luck CTyankee

Looks like the same stuff. It works for me, but YMMV.

6. It does work, but it softens to allow removal

I am not a doctor and I'm not giving you medical advice, but this has been my experience.

Debrox does contain carbamide peroxide as the other product mentioned above.

I have had good results by doing this:
4-5 drops in the ear keep head tilted so it doesn't run out for 15 minutes.
Then use that little bulb, filled with warm water, it takes a little doing to fill it, then blast that into your ear. Several times if needed.
If that doesn't work ( not suggesting you do this because there would be a potential to perforate your eardrum ) push the water filled bulb into the wax to try to get behind it and then flush it out, usually comes out in a disgusting lump for me.

I was amazed the first time they did this at the doctors office, they used a large syringe filled with water and kept blasting it under high pressure until it came out, it was slightly painful and sounded like a 747 taking off in my ear, made me dizzy. But it worked.

So this softens it first then you can blast it out and based on my experience I don't think you can damage your eardrum with the bulb.

But again not a doctor and this is just a story of my use of Debrox.

7. My doctor is arranging for me to have it done at Yale-New Haven Hospital's clinic. I will get transportation from my

retirement home. He's a very caring doctor and wants me to have the best care possible. I think he treats me like I am his mother....
