Customer question:

How are ear-cleaning sleeves used? Anonymous customer's question

Pharmacist's answer:

Ear cleaning tips, also known as sleeves or ear candles, are single-use devices designed to remove ear wax from the ear canal. These sleeves are usually made of a soft, flammable material, so great care must be taken when using them.

It is crucial to be careful and use earplugs carefully, as inserting any foreign object into the ear can damage the ear canal or eardrum. It would be best to be especially careful when lighting an ear candle. Suppose you are unsure or have concerns about this type of earwax removal. In that case, it is recommended that you consult a doctor or an ear, nose, and throat specialist (otolaryngologist) for safe and effective earwax removal.

Before you start, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to ensure they are clean and free of dirt and bacteria. You will need an ear cleaning tube, a well-lit area, a mirror if necessary, and a towel or tissue to catch any earwax or debris that may come out during the procedure.

Gently pull the outer ear of the ear you want to clean up and back. This helps align the ear canal, making it easier to access and clean. Insert the ear cleaning sleeve with the beginning of the sleeve facing the ear canal, then carefully insert it into the ear canal without pushing it too far. Insert it only as far as you can comfortably reach, and don't try to insert it deep. Place your head in a horizontal position.

Be gentle not to push the earwax further into the ear canal, and do not use excessive force. Light the ear candle or sleeve, but be careful not to start a fire - it's best to have someone help you with this process.

If necessary, you can repeat the process on the other ear. Be patient, and don't overuse it. If you have problems or feel pain, stop the treatment and consult your doctor or otolaryngologist. After using the ear cleaning sleeve, you can gently clean the outer ear and the area around the ear canal with a clean, dry cloth or tissue to remove any remaining earwax or debris.
