Nice little tool
After using cotton buds and ignoring my mums comment of never putting anything that your elbow in your ear, I had an accident so wanted an alternative.
A colleague suggest these, whilst I can’t get on with the screw facility, it might be just my ears. But the tools it comes with are a god send the whisk attachment and scrapers are just what I need and my ears feel great.
Works
Products work really well. Didn’t know it came with other items to help with cleaning ears so that was a bonus. Ears feel a lot cleaner now using this rather than using just normal cotton buds
They’re decent, you get a lot of attachments and it does clean wax but not deeply. More for just keeping on top of hygeine rather than removing blockages in ears.
I’ll spare you photo’s!
Bought for my husband as he just wasn’t getting rid of wax with cotton buds, removed a lot initially, however on day 2 he asked me to do it, and I thought, yeah I can do this… I gagged!
However, I would recommend as an ear clearer, just NEVER help your spouse!
Bought for my son who constantly has earache due to a build up of wax.. he’s been using cotton buds but it certainly didn’t help the situation.. when I got this.. at last he could hear me from the kitchen lol and no more earaches.. he couldn’t thank me enough .. recommend??? 100% so very easy to use ..
The truth is that I had serious doubts about putting a silicon screwlike gadget into my ear but because the price was so inexpensive, I decided “why not” & gave it a shot.
I haven’t regretted it at all. If you think about it; a Q-tip is a small stick with some cotton wool & after using it, one sees yellow wax. Depending on how deep & hard you push, it can actually feel very painful & possibly even damage the ear drum. This cannot happen with the ear wax remover because it’s made of soft silicon & it cannot penetrate deep into the ear no matter how hard you push. If a Q-tip removes wax, then this little screwlike gadget will definitely get it out a lot easier. I have used it several times & only the one time did I actually see a residue of wax on the silicon head. When I saw that nothing was coming out, I used a Q-tip too just to see if my ears did have wax in them. It was completely clean, cotton bud was white & not yellow…so when you see nothing on the silicon head, don’t think that it’s not working, it just means that the remover has done its job & will remove the wax again the next time the residue has built. The only time I now use Q-tips is to dry my ears after washing my hair or anytime water may get into them.
This product is good if you want to prevent your ears from blocking up. Unfortunately, my ears were already blocked when I bought this and I found that it was making my ears worse as it was pushing wax further into my ears.
I’d recommend this for unblocked ears to prevent blockages.
Tips are quite sof
Personally I found the tip is a bit to soft for my ears, I have narrow ear canals so the soft tip tends to bend back before It reaches in far enough to do any good, I’m sure that if the tip were more substantial then I would find the device to be quite good. it’s a pity that harder tips are not available for people like me who have more difficult ears. Perhaps the manufacturer could make a range of tips to meet that need. The device is a much needed good idea which may well work for many people but for me it fails completely due to the tip being so soft it’s impossible to use such a pity, I do need a harder tip then it may work. I have to add that the manufacturer is very helpful and I am hopeful that they may produce an accessory of harder tips in the future.
This arrived quickly, and the package was small enough to go through a letter box which always a bonus.
The product is as described, very soft and flexible to unlikely to damage your ears if used with care. I’ve managed to remove a lot of wax from one ear, less from the other (presumably a reflection of the original blockage). Certainly seems more effective than the drops I’ve tried in the past, and you get the physiological reward of immediately seeing what has been removed, which encourages further use.
I’ve found its best used after a bath/shower, where the warm moist air had a chance to soften the wax. So far I’m using it once a day, aim to reduce it to once a week when the initial wax removal has completed.
I’ve been cleaning the tips with warm water and hand soap, which seems to work OK. Silicone rubber should be dishwasher safe, but so far I’ve chickened out of trying that.
I have had a lot of wax build up in my left ear, I used Otex etc to soften it and stupidly went in with a cotton bud to remove the wax! Obviously this pushed it further in, the result being I ended up with about 30% hearing in that ear, ringing and a painful ear. Tried holding a hot water bottle to it, no joy. Our docs dont do syringing any more because of Covid, Specsavers do but its 55! I booked an appointment but then I saw this wee beauty on Amazon when I did a last desperate search. I’m so glad I did!
It arrived today, ripped it out of the packet, picked an attachment that I thought would fit my ear canal (it did) and got to twirling in the direction shown. Instant bliss, seriously!
I will definitely recommend to everyone, its fantastic, Im away to cancel my Specsavers appointment now!
I have found the ear syringing that is (was) performed at the NHS clinics, to be too aggressive and painful when there has been stubborn wax that has refused to be extracted from my ear canal and sitting right up close to the ear drum. I have experienced good results from going to private clinics who thankfully have used gentle syringing methods or even better a type of aspirator. This of course is a quite an expensive solution, especially when this deed needs doing regularly. Covid 19 even makes this option difficult.
This tool certainly achieved the desired results, albeit a little patience was required after the initial success of removed a great deal of wax from the canal. The somewhat hard wax next to the drum, was finally removed after a few days with softening ear wax drops. In conclusion this is an excellent product that does a fantastic job of cleaning
the ear canal and scores over cotton buds for that purpose. It is also an effective solution to completely clearing the ear after a few days with the aid of drops.
