Here are some ways to remove earwax at home that you can try:
1. **Baking soda solution**: Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 2 ounces of warm water. If you have a dropper bottle, pour the solution into it. Tilt your head to the side and gently drip 5 to 10 drops of the solution into your ear, 1 drop at a time. Leave the solution in the ear for up to 1 hour, then flush with water.
2. **Hydrogen peroxide**: You can remove earwax at home using 3 percent hydrogen peroxide. Tilt your head to the side and drip 5 to 10 drops of hydrogen peroxide into your ear. Keep your head tilted to the side for 5 minutes to allow the peroxide to penetrate the wax. Do this once a day for 3 to 14 days.
3. **Water flushing**: Sometimes earwax can be dislodged by the light pressure of water flushing: Purchase a soft rubber bulb syringe made for ear cleaning, and fill it with warm water. Tilt your head to the side with a thick towel or basin below the ear. Gently squeeze the bulb so that the warm water shoots into your ear canal.
4. **Ear cleaning drops**: Here’s how to use ear cleaning drops: Lay sideways: Make sure the ear you’re cleaning faces up and add the drops as directed. Let it sit: Allow the cleaning solution to sit in your ear for around five minutes. This lets the liquid soak in and... Grab a tissue: When you sit up, the liquid should come out of your ear along with any wax.
