Many products or home remedies claim that applying drops to the ear can restore hearing. These drops often contain ingredients like:
- Hydrogen Peroxide: To soften earwax.
- Olive Oil or Garlic Oil: Believed to have antimicrobial properties.
- Herbal Extracts: Marketed for their purported healing benefits.
Does It Work?
- For Earwax Buildup: Certain drops (like over-the-counter earwax softeners) can help dissolve wax and improve hearing if the issue is caused by a blockage. However, improper use can push the wax further into the ear or cause irritation.
- For Infections or Inner Ear Damage: Drops alone are unlikely to address underlying issues like infections, nerve damage, or structural problems in the ear.
Risks of Self-Treatment:
- Applying drops without knowing the root cause of your hearing loss can worsen the problem.
- Some substances may irritate the ear or lead to infections if not used properly.
- Delaying professional care could result in permanent damage.
