Ear Cleaning Kit FAQs

What is an ear wax cleaning kit?

If you’ve been asking yourself, “what is the best ear cleaning kit?” then here is a list of questions and answers that should help you buy the right one. Earwax cleaning kits usually come in one of three varieties. The first is as an eardrop with a syringe or bulb for irrigation and suction. The second type is a selection of curettes, or metal picks and spoons, for scraping out earwax. The third type is a digital otoscope, which gives you a view of the inside of your ear canal via a video feed over your iPhone or Android mobile device or another LCD screen.

Do ear cleaning kits work?

Ear cleaning kits work to varying degrees, but it depends on how much wax you need to clean out and what experience you have. Do you just want to clean out a little bit of wax or is your ear impacted? Ear wax softener is good to use if you have a large accumulation of wax in your ear canal - this will also make it easier to use other tools. A set of curettes might be used successfully by trained medical staff, but it’s generally not recommended to put metal pieces into your ear canal, especially if you are not experienced. The digital otoscope is a superior cleaning kit because it allows you to actually see what you are doing and how close the ear scraping spoon is to your delicate ear drum. Since you can see what you are doing it is easier to avoid injury.
