Removing ear wax


What is the best way to remove ear wax?
Consumers constantly worry about wax in their ears and spend enormous amounts of money visiting expensive ear surgeons. Wax is natural- everyone develops wax in the ear. The only reason people are concerned about wax is because it may appear unsightly. Some individuals do get an impacted ear which may reduce hearing. 
Over the years countless ointments and ear drops have been developed to remove wax from the ear. So far there is not a single study which has shown that one type of ear drop is better than the other. The only thing true is that using ear drops is better than no treatment at all. 
So if you have wax in your ear, just apply a drop of baby oil once or twice a week. If you do not like oil, you may use sodium bicarbonate or docusate liquid drops. If you apply these drops regularly, you will never ever have wax build up again. Once in a while, take a Q tip and gently clean the outside of the ear canal. This is the cheapest and safest way to prevent wax.
