Otex Olive Oil Ear Drops For Natural, Gentle Removal of Excessive, Hardened Ear Wax. Bottle with Dropper Applicator, 10 ml (Pack of 1)

I bought Otex Olive Oil Ear Drops to help soften earwax, and I’m really pleased with how well they work. The drops are gentle and soothing—perfect for sensitive ears—and start working quickly to break down wax buildup.The bottle is easy to use with a simple dropper design, and I didn’t experience any stinging or discomfort like I have with other stronger ear treatments. After just a few days of use, I could feel the difference—less pressure and much clearer hearing.I also appreciate that it's made with natural olive oil, which feels safer and more comforting than chemical-heavy alternatives. It’s now a regular part of my ear care routine, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a safe and effective way to manage earwax at home.

Used these for a few days and they really helped soften built-up wax. Very gentle, no irritation, and the dropper is easy to use. Great product that does exactly what it says!

The product itself is great and does the job. But it's impossible to follow the instructions of squeezing 1 to 2 drops in your ears. Firstly you can't see the side of your ear when squeezing the chamber. No matter how gentle you squeeze, whatever's in the tube goes into your ear. So make sure you put as little as possible in the tube before you squeeze the contents into your ears.

Tried these as they were reasonable in comparison with other products and they worked perfectly well. My ears were very badly blocked and apparently the canal narrows very quickly from the surface, but was able to have to wax professionally removed easily. Will now maintain with a two weekly spray, but glad that I trusted this product despite the very good price.

I was considering purchasing ear drops containing Urea Hydrogen Peroxide or Sodium Bicarbonate, which work to actively dissolve the ear wax but following professional advice I opted for Olive Oil drops which are much gentler on the ears, especially if you have sensitive ears. Otex won't dissolve the wax as the alternatives purport to do but it helps to loosen it making it easier to fall out on its own, or more easily removed. In my case following six days of once-a-day application the wax had softened sufficiently for it to be removed professionally using micro suction.Application is straightforward following the included instructions but it's difficult to gauge the prescribed 2 or 3 drops if you are self-administering. It helps if you have someone in the household to lend a hand. Warming the olive oil slightly in your hands or by standing the bottle in warm water for a couple of minutes makes it more effective at breaking down the wax but don't let it get too hot.My hearing is now back to normal, and I am free of wax but on the recommendations of my audiologist I intend on applying the Olive Oil weekly to help stop further build-up.

Great product

I used these olive oil drops, in conjunction with “ScopeAround Wireless Otoscope Ear Camera”, to clear both ears of impacted wax. It took me a month. Both my ears had impacted ear wax, meaning the wax was hardened against the eardrum and seemingly immovable.Olive oil is an unsaturated (liquid) fat. It's recommended for consumption as it helps soften and melt the saturated (solid) fats that build up inside our blood vessels. That's why many put it on their food.It's not too dissimilar to what it does with your solid “fatty” earwax.The olive oil softens and melts the earwax it comes into contact with. See pictures for before and after Olive oil applications (2 days between pictures). You can see a distinct sheen from the wax that has been ‘melted’, but this is superficial (on the surface) only. I do not believe olive oil is penetrative in any way; that is to say, I don't think it breaks-up earwax.As said; I used an ear camera with scoop attachment to remove the wax, small amounts at a time, over the course of 4 weeks. See my review of “ScopeAround Wireless Otoscope Ear Camera” for details.I applied olive oil three times per day, softening the wax, then used the scope camera every other day to scoop out the softened wax I could. It took 10 days to clear one ear and another 18 days to clear the other. I did one ear at a time, so in total, around a month.Would olive oil have worked had I just used it on its own? In my opinion, not in my case, as the wax was hardened/impacted. However for ‘normal’ ear wax, I believe it would melt the wax, causing it to evacuate out the ear of its own accord. Sleeping on the side of the affected ear would encourage the wax to move out, a gravity assist.I have tried the Otex drops. I agree with some of the reviews that indicate it changes earwax to a yellow sticky sludge (used a camera to see), which may or may not be easier to evacuate. The downside of the Otex drops is they are chemicals which can only be used for a short time (few days at the most).Olive oil is natural, slow working and harmless.

Good to loosen up wax before ear cleaning appointments, not sure if it would work on its own to clear your ears out but for what I use it for it’s great stuff… no complaints!
