I wear hearing aids. I use a vinegar and alcohol solution to keep my ears dry and the ph balance good. Is 20/80 or 50/50 the correct ratio for the vinegar/alcohol solution? Also what percent rubbing alcohol should I I use 50%, 70%,or 70%? I appreciate your response. Thank you, Janice

Hello,
If you do not have punctured eardrum, the alcohol and vinegar ratio to keep your ears day is 1:1 or 50/50. Rubbing alcohol is 70 percent by volume of pure concentrated ethanol or isopropyl alcohol.
If you do not want to make it yourself, ready-made preparations are available over the counter for the purpose.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Let us know if you have any further queries.
