Wush Ear Cleaner Commercial Actor (2024)

FAQs

How often should you use WUSH ear cleaner? ›

For general ear cleaning pressure level 1 is adequate and can be used 2 times per week in the shower or over a sink. Approximately 10-15 seconds is all it takes in most cases to clear out wax.

Over-the-counter solutions

Look for water-based ear drops with ingredients such as hydrogen peroxide, carbamide peroxide, acetic acid, docusate sodium, or sodium bicarbonate. You can also consider oil-based ear drops for earwax removal. Look for those with peanut, olive, or almond oils.

Ear irrigation can be done safely at home, manually with a syringe, or using a commercially prepared ear irrigation kit. Use water close to average body temperature and a gentle technique to instill water into the ear canal and avoid ear damage.

Instead, soak a cotton ball and drip a few drops of plain water, a simple saline solution, or hydrogen peroxide into the ear with your head tilted so the opening of the ear is pointing up. Keep it in that position for a minute to allow gravity to pull the fluid down through the wax.

Using a cerumen spoon to remove the remaining wax can cause damage to the skin covering the external auditory canal. Symptoms of complications include sudden pain, ringing in the ears, loss of hearing, nausea, and dizziness.

Frequency of Use:

Use it three times a day for a week, and see your doctor if symptoms of infection get worse. If used to prevent excessive wax buildup, use according to the frequency with which your ears block. If you need to have then cleaned out three times per year, use hydrogen peroxide three times/week.

It's there to protect your ears from dirt and germs. But regularly using eardrops, or olive or almond oil, will help soften earwax build-up. This will help it fall out on its own and should stop your ears getting blocked.

Use solutions to dissolve earwax

Baby oil. Glycerin. Mineral oil. Hydrogen peroxide or peroxide-based ear drops (such as Debrox®).

If your doctor recommends that you try to remove earwax at home: Soften and loosen the earwax with warm mineral oil. You also can try hydrogen peroxide mixed with an equal amount of room temperature water. Place 2 drops of the fluid, warmed to body temperature, in the ear two times a day for up to 5 days.

WUSH is a handheld ear-cleaning device that uses jet water pressure to flush out wax from the ear canal, similar to what you would have done if you've ever had your ears professionally cleaned in a doctor's office.

Can I use a waterpik to clean my ears? ›

Do not use a dental irrigation device, such as a Water Pik, to remove earwax. The force of the water injures the ear canal and ruptures the eardrum. Do not use ear candles. They have no proven benefit in the removal of earwax.

The salt water will soften the wax and loosen it up while it soaks, and draining your ear will get rid of the solution and the earwax that it pulled loose. Use a cloth to finish the job around the outer ear and clear away the last of the wax, as well as dry your ear off.

Soak a cotton ball with the hydrogen peroxide. Tilt your head and drip the peroxide into your ear. You may hear it fizz as it tries to dissolve the earwax. After about 30 seconds, drain your ear onto a washcloth.

This is an indication that the hydrogen peroxide is activating and breaking down wax buildup.

In conclusion, hydrogen peroxide should not be used in your ears, as the risks outweigh the potential benefits. You're instead advised to consult a healthcare professional before attempting any ear cleaning method, especially if you have a history of ear issues or if you experience any concerning symptoms.

Frequent washing, however, can do more harm than good because it strips the ear of this delicate, protective lining, leaving the way open for bacteria to get in and multiply. Experts, recommend that you only clean your ears every two to four weeks.

Use one spray three times a day into the affected ear. To do this, place the tip of the nozzle into your ear and press the pump down once. You should continue to use the spray for two days after your symptoms have gone. Do not use the spray for longer than seven days in total, unless your doctor has told you otherwise.

You can plug the ear lightly with cotton wool to prevent leakage. Keep head tilted for several minutes. Remove the cotton wool and repeat in the other ear. Use twice daily for up to four days (Or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist).

When cleaning, you want to be very thorough and clean both the front and back of the piercing. Dr. Sophia Reid, a board-certified dermatologist, recommends cleaning piercing sites two to three times a day, at least for the first two to three weeks. Then, weekly cleanings will suffice.
