Product Information

Although it is not always clear what causes tinnitus, it is often associated with damage to the inner ear [15]

There was no high quality evidence in favour of a specified time interval for administering a softener before ear irrigation, however the committee considered that this was a clinically significant issue. In the absence of evidence favouring longer periods of administration, and the impact on patients’ quality of life caused by waiting, the committee agreed by consensus to recommend a timescale of either immediately before irrigation or up to 5 days prior to irrigation. The committee noted that health professionals may not be aware that administering ear drops on the same day as irrigation is an option, and wanted to highlight this for consideration. The impact on resources was noted as additional primary and community care appointments would not be required, but in some cases this would have to be balanced against appointments taking longer if the wax is difficult to remove. There may also be implications for clinic planning, particularly in remote rural areas where patients have limited travel options and may appreciate same day treatment.

Available at: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng98 (accessed November 2019) The term ‘irrigation’ can be used to refer to irrigation of the external ear canal either using a syringe or using an electronic irrigator. Both methods adopt the principle of using water to flush out earwax and therefore, in this section on clinical evidence, the term ‘irrigation’ is used to refer to both or either method of wax removal. Most of the papers referred to were written at a time when manual syringing was an accepted method of irrigation and the principles they outline, in discussion of the attributes of cerumenolytics or wax-softening agents, are relevant to irrigation by both techniques.

Do not use your fingers or any objects like cotton buds to remove earwax. This will push it in and make it worse.

If these treatments aren’t suitable or don’t help, your GP may consider referring you to the ENT department of your nearest hospital for more specialised treatments. Treatments to remove earwax There was a clinically important benefit for successful removal of wax when this was performed by syringing in a clinic compared with removal using home kits. Adverse events were generally not well reported but there was mostly a small or no clinically important difference between the different ear wax softeners used and when comparing removal by syringing in a clinic to home kits.The committee considered that ear syringing with a large metal syringe or similar obsolete equipment is potentially harmful. The design of the syringe and the inability to control the water pressure increases the risk of damage to the ear canal and tympanic membrane. This treatment should no longer be used in current practice. Irrigation using an electronic ear irrigation machine which pumps water into the ear at a controlled pressure is safer.

Some people are naturally prone to earwax building up in their ears and may need frequent treatment to remove it when it becomes a problem.eardrops – dropsused several times a day for a few days to soften the earwax so that it falls out by itself
