Tilcare Manual Ear Wax Removal Tool

First off I will say I am a retired registered nurse who has done a good number of ear irrigations over the years. I found this kit to be easy to use and effective for ear wax removal. I was surprised by all the pieces of equipment it contained and the reasonable price. I would caution that anyone with a damaged eardrum, tubes in their ears, infection or other ear problems should check with their doctor before using it. I also would be cautious about using the metal instrument in this kit as they could cause some serious damage in unskilled hands. There are several methods for ear irrigation, but the one that I use is to obtain a bottle of generic ear wax removal oil, warm the bottle of oil by placing it in a dish of warm water for a few minutes (cold ear drops can sometimes cause nausea and dizziness). I put approximately 3 drops of the warmed oil into the ear and place a piece of cotton into the ear canal so the oil doesn’t run out, then I repeat the procedure for the other ear. I wait at least an hour (or longer if there is severe wax build up) so the warmed oil has a chance to soften the ear wax somewhat. Then I remove the cotton balls, pull the earlobe to straighten the ear canal somewhat and use a pen light or flash light to look into the ear canal to see where and how much blockage there is so I’ll know if the irrigation later is actually breaking up the ear wax. I fill the irrigation spray bottle with warm (not hot) tap water and use the flexible tube with tip and round splash guard. Use of the flexible tube tip requires two hands, one to hold and spray the bottle and one to hold the tip in the ear canal, but a person doing the irrigation on themself might find the solid rod type tip easier to use since you don’t need to hold the tip in the ear canal with a separate hand. I have my subject hold the cup under the ear, place a towel over the shoulder to catch any drips, and pump the spray bottle multiple times. It is important not to totally block the ear canal with the spray nozzle as the used water and wax needs to have a path to flow out of the ear canal as fresh water enters. It usually takes a number of pumps, but usually there will be small pieces of ear wax flowing into the cup. It probably will not be the main ear wax plug, however. I take a pen light or flash light and look in the ear and can usually tell if I am making progress. Then I just continue irrigating the ear canal and checking it periodically until it appears clean and unblocked which can take quite a bit of irrigating. Sometimes a large part of the ear wax plug remains intact and just moves closer to the entrance of the ear canal and can be easily seen. The fluid stream from the spray bottle isn’t always strong enough to wash it out. That’s when I find one of the metal instruments like the ear spoon may be helpful to carefully remove the plug if it’s lodged near the entry to the ear canal. If you have gone through the whole cleaning procedure and feel you haven’t been successful, it may be helpful to repeat the the ear wax oil instillation/cotton balls part and leave it in overnight, then try the irrigation again the next day. If that still doesn’t work, it is likely time to see a medical professional for some help. This is just the method I have found useful, but there are other methods using different irrigation solutions and different techniques. Bottom line, I would recommend this kit. It is easy to use, I found it effective in removing significant ear wax blockages, and I thought it was well priced.

Works really well. Follow the directions and it makes the process easy. All the equipment that comes in the kit are really nice. There's no pain unless you have like a serious condition which needs medical attention. Used this on one of our elder family members, said it was a great experience and could hear better. Used this on one of our younger family members, no issues but be ready to see a tater or two roll out.

The price was right, right around 15 bucks and that's all you need to know...It works great considering how cheap it is.We're not going to use this in a doctor's office setting on a daily basis... It's basically going to be used once every 6 months or so for clogged ears.The frustrating part comes in the cheap and horrible design of the hose nosle and connectors. The lip on the Amy nozzle is not strong enough to secure it to the tube, so it ends up separating from the end of the tube and spraying water everywhere before it gets resecured.Again, it works great for what we needed to do, but that doesn't mean it's not frustrating to have water all across the side of your head occasionally.

I initially purchased after going to the doctors for an ear clog ! Well turns out that they used something like this and it worked wonders! I mean all the nasty stuff pushed back from Qtips for years came out and I could hear clearer then ever ! The quality is nice and it’s affordable , just what you need ! You don’t need a fancy pricey option when you have this wonderful item that does just the same thing if not better ! Comfort level was so able , no pain just slight pressure from the water !*Side note you add Water and peroxide to spray bottle and walahh magic . Safety isn’t a concern it’s a great tool for the whole family . The speed of this whole process was fairly fast ! Fits like a charm when it comes to holding the bowl on the shoulderMust buy 10/10

This device worked well initially. There were many accessories that came along with it. However, within about 5 uses, the tube inside began falling off of its hub every time, so that it could no longer transmit water from the jug to the squirter. This rendered it nonfunctional.

This thing has paid for itself a thousand times over. I had to take my kid to the dr for an ear issue and found it drains and builds up wax quickly. All she needed was flushing. Walking out after a 312 bill, I researched and found this. Saving me over $300 each time we use it and we do it weekly. I purchased the 1st one in 2020. I just had to replace it this year. You do the math. It is easy to use. Comes with multiple tip replacements. Lasted 5 years. And it works really well, letting you direct the spray via the tip having a slight angle to it.

Buy it. If you're on the fence....just do it!I had a blockage in my right ear. I tried the ear wax drops but after 2 days I was frustrated. Last time this happened, I went to urgent care, but my deducible is more than what this kit cost, so I went for it! It only took 3 minutes and the wax was cleared out!It came with a ton of ear tips, so I'll be able to reuse this multiple times for less than the cost of a trip to the Dr/Urgent Care.
