Apparently this is a (safe) d-i-y way of keeping the deeper recesses
of your ears clean (and safer than a Dremel) ;-)

Tried it. Doesn't work (for me at least).

Me too and it didn't work for me either but were you like me trying to
get our blocked ears clean, or keeping your ears clean pre blockage?


I've tried it for both - limited value. Possibly if it was warm prior
to application....


However:

AUDICLEAN Sea Serum™ is produced by world leading marine biotechnology
specialists, GOËMAR. It is created from seawater taken from the
crystal clear waters off St. Malo, France. The tides here are amongst
the strongest in the world, constantly enriching the pure waters with
the natural mineral salts.

Ah, that's it then ;-)

They do suggest salt water helps ward off infection and the water
itself can't do much harm (if not applied via a pressure washer).


That's certainly true, although I'm not sure that the specific salts
sold for these purposes are really needed, vs. ordinary sea salt.


Sea water is guaranteed to make me go deaf for a couple of months and
usually set up an infection. Bloody nuisance as it's my favourite
pastime on holiday.



I eventually sorted my last issue myself by repeated dosing with Earex
/ Otex then leaving the corner of a soft tissue twisted up to form a
fine wick threaded into the softened area overnight.


Trouble is smelling like a granny's boudoir....

*Such* a relief
when your hearing comes back .. well till the missus starts shouting
again that is .. ;-(


Yes but they'll do that anyway
