whats the method for a 29 year old man plz

[@BeefBin]

pour directly into ear and hold for long time

[@-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-...]

you stuff the cotton boy into your ear like a big boy!

[@greatbriton8425]

This sounds amazing, such a gentle non-invasive approach. I'm going to try it. Thank you. I guess it may take quite a few days of applications before there are results? Maybe a week?

[@Geraldo_Rivian]

I use the unorthodox method of ASMR tingles....I think the vibrations loosen the wax or some shit cuz I always get to clean my ears easily after each video

How do you hold your head to drain oil drops out of ear afterwards? Tilted the other way or normal position straight up?

[@Mokeadunni]

How often can I do this method? At every bath time or when?

[@T0YCHEST]

Can u use isopropyl alcohol

[@sofiaroman5154]

You are the best

[@GirlyButScrappy]

After I do this, how do I then clean the wax? Do I tilt his head to let it drain out? Do I just wipe it while he's sitting up?

[@JessicaBleezy]

Thank you so much for this video. My son is 2 yrs 3 mos and would not pronouce M words. We suspected wax and this easy method has helped us tremendously. Within 2 wks he has started using M words with confidence. Follow precisely as the doctor recommends.

[@lissaco7155]

JessicaBleezy hi! Just curious how often did you do it on your toddler? Is it safe to do it everyday on my 1year old? Hope to hear from you. Thank you!

[@sardonyxz]

@@lissaco7155 did you find out..my son is three n theres a huge buildup

[@lissaco7155]

sardonyxz hi! Yes, I did everyday with my son. Used a cotton ball and dropped about 5 drops in each ear as I nurse him. I kept nursing him for 5mins on one side (to keep the solution inside his ear) then switch to drop on the other side. I did it for 2weeks. Hydrogen peroxide should be 3%. It softened his earwax. Some flowed out of his ear and some got a bit closer for me to safely remove.

[@sardonyxz]

@@lissaco7155 thankyou!!!!...will try to do it when he is sleeping then ...hopefully he won't go batshit crazy on me ...

[@tabbycat5159]

He said put a hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball and this cotton ball put on your child ear dont drip just put on ear for few seconds this will moist the ear wax and helps the wax get out of ear on its own .(sorry for bad English )😐😅😜

[@sardonyxz]

[@naqibah781]

Literally any store carries hydrogen peroxide. Try Wal-Mart or drug mart or rite aid.
