Question: I have wax impacted in both of my ears. I'm sure it's from my wearing hearing aids.
My ear, nose & throat Dr. tried to remove it but the pain was ungodly. He suggested
demorex & peroxide and after 10 days, (twice a day) the results were negligible at best.
Do I have any other options?
Brief Answer:
increase the frequency of drops
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
First of all the number of drops you are putting is i suppose very less . It should be 5-6 drops 4-5 times a day for 5 days (5 days is enough , but the frequency and amount should be more ) . Then only the wax will get softened up .
sometimes the wax is removed in steps , like in two sittings .
The wax removal can be done under microscope.
Under vision if done is quite safe and pain less.
Secondly , there can be other ways like syringing , in which a jet of water is given in the ear under vision and the wax does comes out very easily and in a painless way.But the prerequisite for this method is that there should have been no perforation in the ear drum and you do not have any vertigo problem.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Yes any ear drops which are meant for wax removal.
I prescribe wax ear drops , not Hydrogen peroxide ,like SOLIWAX ear drops which contains-- paradichlorobenzene, benzocaine, chlorbutol, turpentine oil, butylated hydroxyanisole.
Hydrogen peroxide drops will also do.
