Everyday tips

  • Avoid using cotton swabs, bobby pins, or other objects to clean the ears, as this can push the wax deeper into the canal
  • Use over-the-counter earwax softening drops or oil-based solutions to help break up and remove excess wax
  • Schedule regular check-ups with a healthcare provider to have your ears examined and properly cleaned if needed
  • Maintain good ear hygiene by gently wiping the outer ear with a damp cloth, but avoid inserting anything into the ear canal
