Debrox Ear Wax Removal Kit - Includes Bulb Syringe and 0.5 Fl Oz Removal Drops for Cleaning Ears

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!

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!

This stuff really does work but you need to have a massive amount of patience. My ears were really clogged and this was the last resort before going to urgent care. The first day I had no luck but the second day I got a little bit out but I tried again at night but had the idea of letting it sit and the lay on that side with a cotton ball under my ear and let it drained. I think I need to do it one more time and my ears will be good to go!
