What Are The Treatment Options For Wax Impacted In Ears When Not Relieved From Demorex And Peroxide?

default
Posted on Tue, 24 Dec 2013
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.
