Apparently none of you watch late night TV :) I saw a product advertised last night on the Hallmark Movie Channel for the Wax Vac. It's a vacuum cleaner for ear wax. It sounds like the one your doctor uses, but if you order now you can get another Wax Vac for free, just pay for extra shipping and processing....
Hey! This is true! Watch for it on late night TV. :thumbup:

Ear wax cleaning is something I did almost daily when I worked at South Shore med center near Boston for 2 years. Just used 50/50 solution of warm (not hot) water and hydrogen peroxide. Used a syringe and with a little pressure from the syringe it got the wax out of the vast majority of ears. Quick and relatively painless. Not rocket science.

Thanks, I like the idea of 50/50 water and hydrogen peroxide. I believe I will give that a try next time I need it.

Is that fat free Italian dressing? Let us know how it worked when you try it.

I put some ear drops in my ear this morning and then put cotton in my ear to keep it from running out. Then after about 2 hours I tryed flushing it out with water. I'm not sure that it did anything as I haven't put it to any test.
But I doubt that it would be that easy.

The ear drops expired July, 2009 but I kept it in the refrigerator.

A friend of mine got her ear wax removed by her doctor but it cost $150.00
My HMO doctor would probably do it at no cost to me but I'd rather do it myself if I can.
The proper motive should be to get yours ears cleaned, not to save money. Go to urgent care. You can't do it as good yourself.
