Doctor Easy Wax-Rx Ph Conditioned Ear Wash System, 15.2 Ounce

Awesome product. I use it yearly to clean out my ears and it works great every time.

Instant relief, cleared my clogged ear. Thanks for a great product!

We used to have a small walk in clinic 1/2 mile from us . Last time I used Debrox with the ear drops and useless flush bulb. Point being they used a much larger washer with a sort of plunger that was pushed down and the ear I used Debrox in was easy the right ear took longer yet it did work. Cost me $120 out of pocket . This was early 2015. Now this clinic has become some new owner and charges $160 just to see someone and $70 for one ear. I also have scalp and ear dermatitis so both ear canals develop large flakes that blocks ear wax from escaping . So far I tried this Wax RX twice with the drops then flush three times and nothing came out . With the drops some wax comes out and I can at least hear better via my left ear . I'll continue to use the drops and see if after a few days if the washer does anything.

Great products!

Primary product (the wax softening drops) works; but, extremely overpriced. I paid approx $40 for a product that is widely available at drug stores (minus the brand name advertised on tv & the non-functional 'system'..see below) for $6 to $8. I feel like a fool. This product contains 6.5% carbamide peroxide in anhydrous glycerin. For an example, check out Walgreen' minus $7 offering...exactly the same. Oh, Walgreen doesn't give you the non functional spray bottle (see below) that went into the trash on day one. There are many similar alternatives. Part of this brand name's "system" is the pump sprayer for rinsing the ear after using the softener. Pitiful. Mine did not work at all. A "disposable" tip has to be attached to the sprayer for the sprayer to be functional. My tip would not stay in place. First squeeze and the tip falls off. Based on my unit, a major redesign is required. The clearly stated "disposable" tip is another negative to this over priced product (it didn't work). Have you ever used a spray nasal decongestant? Did you throw the product away the first time you used it? Of course not. Because the provided pump sprayer was DOA, I used something I already had. One of those "turkey baster" looking thingies that are primarily used as nasal cleaners for babies. Save your money. Go to your drugstore or their website. Spend $6 to $8. Don't purchase multiple "nasal cleaners for babies". With reasonable common sense, they should not be considered disposable. I fell for it and can not believe the overwhelming positive Amazon reviews.

Ok so what worked? This is what happened. I had a camera and found a large "rock" type blockage. Got this system mostly because I saw it advertised on TV and because of a few reviews. Is it a good "value?" If one is desperate then one gets what they need to fix the problem and since I had some leftover amazon gift cards I used them for this as well as for the camera, so I would say it's a good value if you're stuck. Other than that, it's just a stupid squirt bottle and some drops. I think I actually had some leftover drops in my cabinet which only cost like $4 but whatever. Long story short, the lid fell off the drops as I was attempting to squirt them in my ears so I ended up putting a lot of drops in my Right ear. I let them sit and do their thing for at least 15 mins as per another reviewer. I then used the bottle to squirt a lot of water in my ear like they do at the doctors office, which resulted in terrible terrible vertigo. Scared the crap out of me. Luckily I was sitting in my bathtub so I just closed my eyes and let it pass. Was not expecting that. I then switched to using a large syringe that I had leftover from when I was caring for an elderly parent. Squirted that in my ear a few times then checked my ear using the camera deal that was connected to my phone, and the "rock" was gone. Thank Goodness! So Did the product work? I believe the drops worked great, and the syringe, that I already had worked and the camera worked, but I was not impressed with the actual squirt bottle. Here's what I think. Get some drops over the counter, GET A CAMERA or have someone look in your ears using a scope, and get a syringe which is less aggressive. You HAVE TO USE A CAMERA to see what's going on or you'll go nuts. Go easy with the squirt bottle as I feel the stream is too fine and if you use it too aggressively you can get hurt. OH and the "PH Rinse" they give you, I think its the same packet of stuff you use when you rinse out your sinuses. I didn't use that stuff because at that point my ears were sore and wanted to end the escapade. Would I buy it again? No

My right ear has been clogged with wax for over a year. Often I was almost deaf in that ear, and it was uncomfortable. This kit worked great. I put in the drops, waited quite a while, then used the spray bottle. It sprays with quite a bit of pressure. The tips, essentially very thin soft flexible tubes, go down pretty far in the ear canal. I got out several large globs of wax, and a bunch of little stuff. Almost wanted a pic even though it was also really gross. My ear was immediately better. I wasn't sure what the conditioner really does but I decided to go ahead and use it. I plan on using it on the other ear today. I was a bit concerned reading reviews of people feeling they could reuse the tips. The tip I used was covered with wax by the end, and the tube is very thin. I don't see a way to sterilize it, even just using it myself, the tube goes pretty far in your ear and you don't want to introduce bacteria next time! One comment is the tip fell off once, I did see a recommendation later to twist it on so will try that next time. For people saying this is just a spray bottle, really? Most spray bottles don't have the long attachment, and the tube on the tip seemed to deliver the water deep in the ear. I pictured it pressure washing through the wax, as the wax came out the tube can go further and get the deeper, impacted ear wax. There is no way a little bulb washer is going to give you that pressure and amount of water. I refilled the bottle several times, even once more when I thought it was clean and got out another big glob. One recommendation for an improvement would be individually packaging sterile tips? Also, what temp is "very warm"? I used pretty warm water but a bit nervous about it being too hot so probably not as warm as I could have used. Will definitely purchase refills, highly recommended!

Having had a great result myself I was surprised at reading some of the comments of people upset saying it doesn't work. After reading a few it seems to me it probably is because they didn't understand how to use it correctly. First the drops need to go in deep. It appears an obvious statement but the drops actually don't go all the way to the eardrum unless you shake your head vigorously and then you will "hear" when it gets there otherwise they stay in the middle of the trip down to the eardrum and there you are thinking that the drops are working when in reality they haven't reached the eardrum at the bottom. Additionally you need to put enough of the drops to fill the ear canal while resting sideways because you want to also clean the walls all the way to the outside. You need to be patient and wait for about 30 minutes resting sideways. Something that helps a lot to dislodge the wax is to massage the ear canal by using your fingertips and pushing around your ear toward the ear canal as well as decompressing your ears like when you go underwater so that the eardrum moves and helps the solution to penetrate and dislodge the wax. The water needs to be as hot as you can stand it because being wax it will be melted and dissolved by heat. You need to be sitting while applying the warm water spray because your sense of equilibrium is located in the inner ear and is perturbed by the warm water and you can fall from dizziness. When spraying the water make sure that the base of the tube tip is not obstructing the exit of the wax. Wash the ear canal vigorously by applying a lot of pressure to the water so it dislodges the wax. Don't worry it won't hurt the eardrum because it's continuous flow. If you follow this instructions you'll be as happy as I was when I was finally able to get all the stuff out and get my hearing back again. It's not an easy product to use unless you understand and follow the instructions as explained above but if you do it like that you'll have great results and will feel as relieved as I did.
