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

Surprisingly, absolutely fabulous. I have been struggling with dizziness, off-balance, buzzing in my ears which triggered numerous other symptoms for months. I’ve tried so many different things but nothing worked. I have been using these drops three times a day for three days and I am no longer feeling dizzy, the dryness in my ears has gone, and there’s no dizziness. Absolutely amazed and the product itself is fabulous, easy to use, no issues. Will definitely continue using.

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.

This ear oil is a good alternative to a non-oil solution and is suitable for children too. It’s easy to use and you might need to warm the bottle before use. The quantity is sufficient and lasts a long time. It helped our family during colds when earwax hardens, keeping our ears clean and preventing congestion.

Good product, works as intended

Good value for money

Didn’t really work It helped a little bit but not like I needed it to

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.

I ordered this as my ears were blocked has cleared them
