MAJOR Ear Drops Earwax Removal Aid 0.5oz 15mL CARBAMIDE PEROXIDE 6.5% USA

If you are reading this, you likely know that these drops are cheap compared to Debrox and that they are also too thick (like honey) to use with any precision.But they can be made to work as well as Debrox!Two years ago, I bought several bottles because of the price and because I have to clean my ears once a month as per my doctor since I have been blessed with a wax production gone wild gene.I had to use a pair of pliers to squeeze the bottle and of course there was no way to know the quantity I was getting in there. So, I put those bottles in the fridge and forgot them then went back to Debrox.With Debrox, I again could not 'count' the drops so it was a guessing game with a lot of wasted medicine.-Two years later:So yesterday I started to order more Debrox and instead decided to master the MAJOR problems and use the proper amount and save lots of money. I have always been a great personal problem solver.Here is what I ended up doing:-Heat the drops bottle up with a small electric heater (less than $20) by setting the bottle on its box in front of the heater, lowest heat and carefully check the temp by feel and shake the bottle often to distribute the heat. Carefully, a few min.-Remove the spout of the bottle (you can also do this with Debrox and use an eye dropper to get the measure right) by pushing the tip to the side a few times from different sides. It will pop right out. Discard it. If you use Debrox, you have to reinstall the spout after withdrawing the med into an eye dropper to cap it. The MAJORS will cap without the spout.-Now you have a big hole to work with. Use a standard eye-dropper to suck up about 1/4" of from the bottle when it is warmed up. Some practice a few times make this very easy to do. I counted the drops in the eye dropper by dropping them back into the bottle to arrive at the '10'. An approx but it does not have to be exact. 5 to 10 is good. Then made a mental note of the liquid level on the glass. Anything between 5 and 10 drops is OK, I prefer about 10. Now I can use the right amount and thus save money.-Put into one ear and keep head leaning sideways for 10 min, then plug with cotton and do the other ear. Let sit for 3 hrs.-Twice per day for as long as 4 days if needed.-I got a cheap USB otoscope (Amazon) foe use with my PC about $20 so I can see what I am doing and when enough is enough.-After 2 or 3 days, I then wash out each ear with a big heavy-duty (RiteAid brand) Ear Syringe. The tiny soft ones lack having enough pressure to do a good job.-I fill it with warm water from the sink tap and lean over a sink which has a little water sitting in it so I can see what comes out. Usually takes two times.Note: My ears used to itch so bad I could hardly stand it, and I used hydrogen peroxide to clean them. Had to do it every week sometimes to control the itch. Finally, I saw a proper ear doctor and she told me that my ears itched because of the hydrogen peroxide! In fact, the first thing she asked me was if I used Hy Per in my ears, and when I said 'yes', she said, 'that's why your ears itch'. Imagine that! So I stopped using it and went a year before I had any itching again, and that was from tons of wax.-Hydrogen Peroxide made me itch insanely! You might want to try this if it rings any bells.-Hope this helps someone.

Compared to the other options with the same ingredients this is a great value. The only issue is its hard to determine how many drops are coming out and it was hard to get any to come through the hole. I used a needle to open it up a little more.

This earwax removal tool worked perfectly! I'm very pleased with the purchase and I was very impressed with the pricing and the quality of this product.

I like the active ingredient carbamide peroxide but getting even 3 drops out the bottle is almost impossible. It's recommended to use 5-10 drops.My solution to a difficult bottle..Remove the nozzle on the bottle and use a glass eye dropper. I use the one that came with another brand for ear application. The nozzle makes the gel barely come out...so with a glass eye dropper you can see the amount your putting in your ear.Mfg should go with eye droppers instead of redic squeeze bottles of they want a better product.

I had forgotten that I had purchased this for so long it was a month out of date but went with it anyway.As people have mentioned the dispenser is less that perfect but that was easily solved with a pair of scissors and a 45 degree cut.I used it twice a day for 2 days and then warm water in a squirt bottle designed for the task and was amazed at how much wax came out.Definitely buying more.

This was the most difficult dropper bottle I've encountered in my life!I had to squeeze super hard.When it did come out it wasn't even in drops I could count.I ended up squeezing it as hard as I could three times, and I still don't know how much actually made it into my ear.I probably used too much erasing any cost savings merely by that.The spout is short and I found it difficult to aim.It was no more effective than another brand in my cabinet that expired 2 years ago.Their bottle "safety seal" is stuck to the cap, but barely to the bottle. The safety seal just screws on and off with the cap.After a few uses the expiration date printing has worn off the bottle.I'll try not to stab myself with a pin while trying to deal with the dropper hole issue...until a bottle of the brand I normally use with the letter D arrives.I wouldn't risk my money, and if you don't have a "kung fu grip" you might not get any drops out.On a side note, even if you still choose to go with this brand, those "after drops, warm water, squeeze bulb flushers" work really well if done properly.

I tried these last night on my left ear. I could tell it was a little bit plugged up. But I was a little impatient the first time and didn't let it sit for longer than about 7 or 8 minutes before trying to flush it out with warm water and got pretty much nothing. So this morning I tried something different where I put the drops in and then stuck a cotton ball in my ear and just sat down to eat breakfast. I'm not even sure how much time passed, but when I took the cotton ball out it was speckled orange with wax! And with my finger I could feel a huge chunk hanging right at the edge of my ear canal! I was able to coax it out with a blunt tool of mine, and my ear feels amazing! I had no idea all that was in there!

They got the earwax out but they definitely took longer than the ones my doctor used in his office a year ago. Those worked in about 2 minutes and these take about 10 before the wax came out, but otherwise they're fine.
