Debrox Ear Wax Removal Kit, Bulb Syringe & 0.5 Fl Oz Removal Ear Drops

As stated in the title, I’m making this review on the same day I tried the product for the first time today. The whole process for me took about 45 minutes. I was just dealing with one ear ( right side). The symptoms I had probably lasted about a year, because it gradually came and went, and I didn’t think much about it because it would go away from months on end and then suddenly come back. and then finally up to a few days ago it just got worse and worse. It was to the point that if I just accidentally tapped my right ear , tilted my head down or to the side, or even if I just laughed or grinned my right ear would just get this stuffed/clogged sensation, if I woke up after sleeping in the morning, my right side of my ear would be very stuffed/clogged. Like someone put a perfect size object and stuffed it down my ear so I could only hear on one side. Of course I was freaking out because I’m only 36 and didn’t want to think I was losing my hearing. I would then have to for sometimes about 20-25 minutes ( it didn’t start out that long, but it gradually ended up that long) to fake induce yawn, chew, tug on different parts of my ear ( this “Tugging at my ear” was a habit that I did for a few weeks Before I bought debrox. if I tugged at my ear in the right spot that “clogged sensation” would stop and the feeling in my ear would be normal again at least for a time ), or even walk around to change different elevation and air pressure to unclog it. so, of course, I was freaking out. So for myself, I went straight to the debrox website for straightforward answers on 1. How long do we keep the product inside the ear. And 2. do we flush our ears with water each time we use the product or only when we are done with the four day period. Though the website says you keep the product inside your ear for just 5 to 10 minutes each time you use it, and up to 2x a day (up to 4 days if needed) and recommended NOT to flush out with water after each use, (unless you feel as though your ears are no longer clogged after the first use which In that case you would flush) they do however mention “drain” after each 5-10 minute use, which is not the same as flushing with water as for them it simply means tilting your head (over a sink or towel of course) to let the excess dissolved solution and dissolved loose earwax spill out(which doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be unclogged the first time while doing so) I think I put anywhere from 8 to 10 drops in when really I just wanted to get about six but at the beginning the drops came out pretty quickly. However, because I read a few reviews on here that said they waited up to 30 minutes before flushing ( Whether or not, they felt as though their ear was unclogged after 30 minutes and so they flushed or if it still felt clogged and flushed I’m not sure) but my experience was I left The solution in my ear for 30 minutes (really I think I could’ve stopped at 10 minutes because that’s when the itching/crackling/popping noises stopped for me, but I think we’ve all been following this “30 minutes trend“ due to insecurities and not having an official clear enough, detailed, specific step by step video demonstration. The one on YouTube is not that good. another way for me to look at it was I knew that if I needed to put in a second dosage later in the day anyway without using water, it wouldn’t really make a difference if I kept it longer than needed anyway. nevertheless, I too just went ahead and left it in for 30 minutes ( again, 30 mins may not have been necessary) So after my first usage of leaving the solution inside my ear for 30 minutes, my ear still felt clogged, but still, I went to a sink and first attempted to drain the excess without using water by simply tilting my head (per recommendation by the website) however nothing really came out because it was extra foamy, as the result I went ahead and just flushed it out with warm water using the rubber bulb. All you really need to do is put the tip of the bulb slightly in so the water can get inside the canal don’t overthink the flushing out part. Initially, after, I flushed my ear out with water, a few loose pieces of wax in my ear came out, but it still felt clogged (even more-so than before I put the debrox solution in due to the foam building up) of course although the reviews on here said also after their first usage, they too were clogged and needed a second or third treatment , still I (of course) started freaking out, immediately went back to Amazon to look for other products to physically scoop the wax out. However, after about 15 minutes from when I initially flushed out the solution, the symptoms went away immediately! Admittedly, due to my panic, after I flushed my ear with water, because I didn’t get the unclogged sensation immediately that I was expecting, and now feeling more clogged then before, I naturally tugged at my ear because again as stated above I would feel that if I pulled certain aspects of my ear even behind the ear against the neck, the “unclogged sensation” would return temporarily. But really, I think it’s because some of the solution was still in my ear and as I was just resting my head, whatever wax I had in my ear, went back to its normal levels due to the debrox solution going down the canal and breaking the wax down. It’s crazy it feels as clear as my left one. All the Symptoms I’ve had from above and have dealt with on and off for about a year are gone. Again, the whole process took about 45 minutes for me today. I know there are instructions on the side panel of the box that are a little more detailed ( not just like the ones we see in pictures here on Amazon ) but still I recommend going to the actual website at Debrox.com click on the “products” tab and then scroll all the way down to the different tabs like “Drop use FAQ” and “Ear Flushing FAQ”. To get a little more confidence and better understanding. Stay well and “Happy hearing” everyone!

INDEX [1] How my ear got stuck [2] Packaging and ChatGPT instructions [3] Attempt #1 (didn't work) [4] Freaking out [5] Attempt #2 (worked) [6] Pre-instructions [7] Step-by-Step Instructions [8] Post-instructions [9] TLDR [1] The product definitely works. You can skip to the instructions if you want to, but I'll be giving some background. I used a cotton swab to try to clean out my ear after feeling it was getting a little bit too waxy for my liking after using earphones for a while right after a shower, then accidentally pushed in the cotton swab too far into my right ear and pushing the wax pretty deep in. I started panicking because it's most definitely not normal to not be able to hear 80% of what you could before and constantly have my right ear sound like I'm either under water or wearing noise cancelling earphones 24/7. [2] So, I bought this product and followed the instructions. I also consulted with ChatGPT just to make sure I wasn't doing anything stupid to damage my ear. Here's what I was told from the instructions and ChatGPT. (1) Follow the instructions on the back of the packaging. (2) Flush gently 3-5 times because the ear canal is sensitive and to not damage it because it could lead to permanent ear damage or an ear infection if the wax is pushed in deeper and left there for too long. (3) If it doesn't work by the last day, go to a doctor because you don't want to risk an ear infection. [3] With that out of the way, let me put into perspective of what happened. Day 1, I did my first round of carbamide after the shower. 8 drops, 10 minutes in, 10 minutes drain, not much happened aside from a little popping. When nothing happened drastically, I thought it was fine because the packaging had said this was a 4-day process. Day 2, 10 drops in, 10 minutes in, 10 minutes drain, nothing happened besides some slight drainage similar to when you get out of a pool and your ears slightly drip out wax. This is where I started to panic because I didn't hear any popping or crackling like Day 1, so I asked ChatGPT again which told me I had to trust it and follow the instructions, or go to a doctor if I wanted immediate removal. Day 3, exact same situation as Day 2 but increased worry and "I'm freaking out WHY AREN'T YOU WORKING" vibes. Day 4, 10 drops in, 10 minutes in, 10 minutes out, gently flushed with the bulb 3-5 times, and I felt like I pushed the wax even deeper in my ear. This is where I started to freak out for a few reasons. I know doctors visits are generally pretty expensive. I might have messed up my ear unknowingly. I might have pushed in the wax even deeper. [4] I did a bunch more looking around in a freaked-out fashion. Here's what I found out. As of June, 2025, a visit to Urgent Care is $100, then the cleaning was $50, totaling $150 out of pocket. Apparently in January of 2021, it was $35 - $75 total for the same procedure which took the medical offices about 5 - 10 minutes. I only assume from the point I'm writing this that the price will go up simply just because of the health care industry. I called urgent care, and the lady at urgent care (super lovely btw) told me I could try hydrogen peroxide 3% mixed with warm water instead of carbamide peroxide (the solution in this product) and try an ear spoon with a rubber tip. Hydrogen peroxide is a bit stronger and works a bit faster but is also more risky. I didn't do either because I frantically continued searching around on Google, Quora, Reddit, and Facebook forums to see if any of them had useful information which ended up pretty disappointing. Then I looked into the reviews of this product to see why it had so many reviews and over 4 stars and found the solution to my ears. [5] [Skip this part if you want to see instructions] I followed the instructions from two different posts, aligned them, and disregarded everything I looked up beforehand with ChatGPT and forums. After letting the solutions sit for the time and flushing it out of my right ear, A TON OF WAX came out. I know in the sink it doesn't look like much, but try to imagine your pinky fingernail because it was about that much that came out. I then repeated it with my left ear because although I could hear out of it just fine, I wanted to give it a quick wash since I'm an avid earphone and headphone user. Not really much came out of my left ear, but it did feel cleaner! I'm so happy and so glad that I decided to look into the reviews before spending $150 for a 10 minute visit because this was $8 when I bought it. Both of my ears feel cleaner and can hear more. It almost feels like my hearing reaction time is faster than my eyes reaction time now. [6] PRE-Instructions: Some things to note when you're doing this is that after you finish the instructions, it's normal to feel a little light headed or off balance or dizzy. Lie down and rest a little. You are doing perfectly fine, don't panic, trust yourself and the other reviews, you'll be okay, promise. [7] I'll get into the instructions now. 1. Dry the outside of your ear a little bit, not inside the canal, with a tissue before anything else just in case you did something with water. ||| In my case it was the shower. 2. Tilt your head to the side and (optional: use your phone camera to see yourself) fill in your ear with the product's solution until it's about full or as much as you think you can fit in your ear. ||| I used what seemed like a lot. 3. Rest your body and head on a pillow sideways. Adjust your angle of your head while remaining sideways occasionally for comfortability and to allow the solution to move. ||| I didn't stick to singularly looking straight forward while sideways. 4. Do step 3 for 30 minutes MINIMUM. The solution needs time to work. This is OTC stuff, so have patience because it will pay off. ||| I went on my phone for this period of time, so it was fast. 5. After 30 minutes, get up, use a tissue or paper towel to drain out the carbamide peroxide if you have to walk a little bit, go to a sink or bath, then warm up some water, fill the bulb with WARM WATER all the way (bulb should come with product, squeeze really hard to fill up bulb), put the bulb tip in your ear as deep as you feel comfortable, and squirt it hard, fast, and intensely in your ear. ||| I put the bulb tip pretty deep as long as it didn't hurt. Think of the bulb like squirt gun. 6. Repeat squirting until all the wax comes out and you can hear again. ||| This took me 1-2 minutes of squirting. Some people said 10 minutes, some said 20 minutes, some said 1-5 minutes like me. [8] POST-Instructions: Congrats, you should now be able to hear properly now. You did well and should be free of the noise blockage in your ear canal. If you still have problems after all of this, you legitimately might have a larger concern in need of a doctor's visit. [9] TLDR: Accidentally oopsie and used a cotton swab, pushed wax in, freaked out for five days, eventually found out reviews had good instructions, I can hear now, yay!

Just like many other comments have said, this thing works. But the instructions on the package is not the most effective way to get rid of hard-stuck ear wax to say the least. I had a minor blockage in my right ear when I woke up one day, the kind that goes away a little when you open your mouth and stretch your ear with your hand. And I made the dumb mistake of using a q-tip to try to clear it. All it did was push and compact every bit of ear wax up against my eardrum. I know this because I first tried the ear spoon with camera thing and saw it. I wasn't confident in my skill with the spoon to clear out the compact ear wax sticking directly on my eardrum plus everything hurts to touch when you go deep in there. So I bailed and started looking into this solution. For the first two days that piece of ear wax didn't move at all when I applied and drained the drops according to the instructions given by the package. Then like many people who got frustrated living through multiple days with unbalanced hearing, I looked into this review section and realized I need to keep my ear soaked for much longer than "a few minutes" as stated on the carton. I laid down and filled my ear with the drops for an entire The Boys episode, 50 minutes to an hour, occasionally popping my ears by fake yawning, swallowing, and doing the maneuver like how you would counteract the air pressure change during plane landing. Anything I could think of to exercise my eardrum so that some of the liquid hopefully could get under the ear wax. Then I headed into the shower and flushed my ear with the rubber bulb, and by flush they actually mean it, you work up the flow until you're practically blasting your ear with the water from the bulb like pumping a bicycle tire, speed of the in-and-out movement is key rather than volume in retrospect. I'm gonna skip describing how I'm shocked by the ear wax that got flushed out and grateful that I was able to hear again. But yeah you need to soak your ear canal for a LONG time and then flush it with RAPID water flow if you have some hard-stuck ear wax.

This product works great. I had wax in my left ear and I couldnt hear anything out of it. I thought maybe I permanently lost my hearing in my left ear. The first 4 days I used this product as instructed, I didnt make any difference. But on the 5th day, I started hearing some fizzing/bubbling sounds when I put the liquid in my ear. I used the syringe to wash out the liquid but still no change. On the 6th day, I left the liquid in for about 20 minutes, hearing the fizzing sounds all thru the 20 min. After that when I flushed my ear with warm water from the syringe, a huge piece of wax came out of my ear and I could hear again. That was an amazing feeling. Will recommend this product to all my friends and family.

This ear-wax removal solution does help loosen wax, but the results are inconsistent. Sometimes it works well enough, other times it barely makes a difference. 🔹 Helps soften wax, but requires patience The drops do create the fizzing/foaming effect that helps break down wax. For mild buildup, it can offer some relief — you may notice your ears feel a bit clearer after a few uses. 🔹 Not strong enough for tougher wax For anything more stubborn or compacted, the solution doesn’t seem powerful enough. Even after repeated treatments, there were times the wax barely moved or required additional cleaning methods afterward. 🔹 Simple to use, but messy Applying the drops is straightforward, but the process is a little messy. You’ll need tissues or a washcloth to catch the liquid, and you typically have to lie still for several minutes. Not difficult — just inconvenient. ✅ Pros: Helps soften and loosen light wax buildup Easy, gentle application Affordable and safe for routine use ❌ Cons: Not very effective for heavy or stubborn wax Requires multiple applications to see results Can be a bit messy and time-consuming Overall: Decent for mild wax buildup and occasional maintenance, but not a reliable solution for deeper or more stubborn blockages. Works well enough sometimes, just not consistently.

I wanted to give an honest review of this product after trying different products without much luck. I honestly told myself that this was the last product I was going to purchase. I have never in my life had any ear infections or any problems with my ears. I was showering one day about 6 weeks ago when my ear got clogged. I thought it was because I had gotten water in my left ear and figured it would clear up on its own but a few days later, I still couldn’t hear out of my left ear. It was extremely frustrating to say the least. I think my family was getting tired of me saying what all the time. Also, having to turn the volume up on the tv was annoying too. I just wanted relief so bad. After trying swimmers ear drops and sea spray (recommended by my mom), I saw this product and thought why not. I was so excited to try this out and grabbed the package and ran upstairs and had my daughter put the drops in my ear. I read where everyone was saying to leave the drops in your ear for 30 minutes. I thought what?! That’s gonna take forever lol. I am NOT a patient person whatsoever so my dumb butt left them in for 5 minutes. Heck, I figured that was long enough haha. Well, I flushed my ear that same day because I wanted immediate relief. I didn’t realize that you should wait a couple/few days before you flush out your ear so you can give the product a chance to soften the ear wax. Okay, with all that being said, I used the drops in my left ear for 2 days for a few minutes at a time and on the third day, I didn’t use any drops at all and was afraid of getting an ear infection even though I didn’t have any ear pain so I left my ear alone. My ear felt squishy inside, like it was full of water. So on the 4th day, I put the drops in again and waited for about 7 minutes and flushed it again. Nothing happened. I STILL couldn’t hear out of my left ear. I honestly, at the time, figured I had wasted even more money on a worthless product. So a few days later, I went back to the reviews on this product and kept reading that so many people advised leaving the drops in for 30 minutes. I was so jealous of how many of you were so successful after using this product. I told my husband that morning, I’m going to try this again. I was bound and determined to be able to hear again! After my kids & husband left for the day, I laid down on my bed and put the drops in again and THIS time, I waited for the full 30 minutes. I got back on Amazon while I waited and read more of the reviews. I figured it was easier to get in the shower to flush out my ear rather than trying to flush it at the sink (and less messy). By now, I was super excited and had high hopes that I’d be able to hear again. After flushing my ear for about the umpteenth time, I still couldn’t hear. I wanted to sit down in the tub and cry. I then became mad and grabbed that ear bulb syringe and flushed like there was no tomorrow (even putting the bulb as far as it would go) and then FINALLY a huge ugly chunk of ear wax came shooting out and I could finally hear again!! Omg, I felt so much relief. I actually became very dizzy and had to lean up against the wall in the shower. My husband later said it was probably all the pressure built up in my ear. I anxiously texted my husband and told him that I could hear again!! I even called my mom and a friend later and told them! And it’s weird but once I got my hearing back in my left ear, my right ear felt blocked but it wasn’t. I can hear things that I couldn’t hear before. Even my parakeets chirping seemed so loud. The sound of water running seemed so much clearer. It’s like I have a brand new eardrum! I’m sorry that this review is lengthy. I just wanted to say that this product is amazing and definitely works extremely well. I didn’t want to show a pic of my earwax. Y’all know what earwax looks like lol and besides, that’s gross. My advice is to listen to what others say and to leave the drops in for 30 minutes (no less). Don’t be impatient like me. If you don’t have any luck, be persistent! I honestly didn’t think that this product was going to work but I’m here to say it provided me with my hearing back! I sincerely hope that my review is helpful to someone reading this. I can’t wait to do my other ear. I’ve also decided to stop putting Q-tips in my ear because all that does is push the earwax deeper into your ears. Lots of luck to you all!

It worked! But I had a very emotional journey getting to clean, clear ears. I have the Amazon community here to thank, because all their comments, tips and experiences were really helpful to teaching me how to do it right. What you need to do: 1) drop as many drops as your ears can hold without overflowing - you can pull your earlobes to move it around 2) rest your head sideways on a pillow for THIRTY (30) MINUTES - very, VERY important step to wait this long, and your head in this position vs straight looking ahead, as this helps get the formula fully working. I did one ear at a time, with this step, then step 3, until that ear was unlocked, and then moved on to the other side. 3) fill the pump thing (VERY important to have this, otherwise it would not have come out, for my ears at least) with water by squeezing it in, under running water, release to let it fill up, with warm water, and with your head sideways, insert the pump into your ear as far as you can, and squeeze the pump fast & hard, so that the stream of water squirts out and is aimed into your ear. The repetition of this will loosen the large chunk of earwax. This took me 10 minutes, so please be patient and do not lose hope. The end result will be so so rewarding when you can hear better and clearer than you ever have (is the case for me!) This process was emotional for me because I didn't do it right from the beginning. The instructions are vague. It said to not flush until the 4th day, which I did, for 2x/day, but on the 4th day, I was hoping to see a huge chunk come out, but nothing did, and my ears felt SUPER clogged, I could only hear 20% and I was wondering if I made a huge, huge mistake, and will not ever be able to hear clearly again, if I f*ed it up, and would have to go to Urgent Care to get my earwax pulled out. I finally read the Amazon reviews to get help, and did all the above to finally extract the earwax. Man, it really takes not having something (clear hearing in this case) to truly appreciate it (even food tastes better now, I even appreciate the sound of my typing right now). Philosophical end to this review - appreciate all (ALL!) that you have in your life; may you never have to lose it to appreciate it.

Please read the other reviews for the best way to make this product work. That's what I did, and it worked like a charm. The number one thing to remember: fill your whole ear canal with the drops and let it soak for AT LEAST 30 minutes. Two other things I might add to help others: 1. When vigorously squirting warm water with the bulb into your ear, make sure you take turns squirting in different directions. Insert the tip of the bulb as far as you comfortably can inside your ear canal, then angle the tip to the left. Do a HARD and FAST squeeze. Then repeat with the angle to the right, then up, then down. I kept squirting straight on for about 10 squeezes and nothing came out. I had my daughter look in my ear and she saw that the wax was to the left. Two vigorous squirts with the tip pointed left, and out came the wax plug. 2. I actually had a pimple in my ear at the same time as the wax plug. I think the plug was preventing my ear from self-cleaning and that's why I got the pimple. Anyway, I could feel it in my ear (it was very painful), but I could not pop it. I scratched at it for about a week with no luck. All that did was aggravate my ear canal. However, after I soaked my ear canal with Debrox for 30 minutes, it apparently softened all the ear tissue and I could then easily pick the pimple and get that plug out as well. So even if you don't have wax build up, but you have a stubborn ear pimple, you might want to try this product to help you resolve that problem.

I was surprised how well it worked after one time - my right ear was feeling plugged for a long time- I found this system Easy and comfortable to use - I left the drops in my ears for 30 minutes and rinsed with warm water with the bulb that’s provided and my right ear actually popped while rinsing and can hear more clear already - this product does work Update- did this a second time and the wax plug came out into my sink the key is rinsing with the bulb 2 or 3 times with very warm water - I am really happy with this product photo of wax plug that came out

This is an amazing product specially for kids. My Kid was having ear infection, listening low and having thick wax in both ears. We tried bebird or other toolkit earlier but finally this product helped like magic. This works exactly as instructed, cleaning with water at the 5th day you will realise how it dilute all hard wax and coming out from ears. Thanks for such a nice product.

I was a bit sceptical at first, but the product does surely work. You have to continuously use it for 3 to 4 days for it to have effect. You may hear some crackling sound while using it but that is it just doing its work. I did feel both my ears getting blocked on the 3rd day, due to which I could hear very less ( was a bit scared, not gonna lie) but I heard that’s normal when using this product. Then when I flushed out on the 4th day to my surprise 2 lumps came out of both my ears and believe me the satisfaction was immeasurable. My hearing also was normal by then. Definitely worth a try!!!!

外国人のレビュー通り30分以上浸した方がいいです。1日目は10分で効果なく、今日30分以上やったらダンゴムシくらいのが出てきてビビっています。

Awesome product especially with addition of the bulb in the kit, followed instructions, worked well for me personally.
