“I always had earplugs in my ears… until I discovered these tips from Michel Cymes!”

2.  Ear drops

Use ear drops specially designed to soften earwax. These can be purchased at a pharmacy or prepared at home using warm water or olive oil. Apply a few drops to the affected ear and leave for a few minutes to soften the earwax.

3.  Gentle irrigation

After softening the earwax with ear drops, you can perform gentle irrigation using an ear bulb syringe or irrigation syringe filled with warm water. Tilt your head to the side and gently pull your earlobe upward to open the ear canal. Then, gently squirt warm water into the ear canal to wash out the softened earwax.
