The statement: "Two drops in the ear"

Many home-made products or remedies claim that applying drops to the ear can restore hearing. These drops often contain ingredients such as:

  • Hydrogen peroxide: To soften earwax.
  • Olive oil or garlic oil: It is thought to have antimicrobial properties.
  • Plant extracts: marketed for their alleged curative benefits.

Does it work?

  • For ear wax build-up: Some drops (such as over-the-counter ear wax) may help to dissolve the wax and improve hearing if the problem is caused by a blockage. However, misuse may push the wax further into the ear or cause irritation.
  • For infections or lesions of the inner ear: Drops alone are unlikely to treat underlying problems such as infections, nerve damage or structural problems of the ear.

Risks of self-treatment:

  • Applying drops without knowing the root cause of your hearing loss may make the problem worse.
  • Some substances may irritate the ear or cause infections if not used correctly.
  • Delaying professional care can lead to permanent damage.
