Ear wax is an oily substance produced to protect the eardrum. The amount of wax produced varies from person to person, but a build-up of ear wax can lead to partial hearing loss. Olive Oil is natural lubricant which gently softens and helps to remove ear wax. Instructions Open the ear drop bottle by breaking the safety seal and tighten the cap to pierce the nozzle Tilt the head sideways with the affected ear uppermost; place 2-3 drops into the ear Then gently massage around the outside of the ear Allow a few minutes for the drops to reach the eardrum by keeping the head tilted and repeat in the other ear if required Plug the ear lightly with cotton wool if necessary to prevent leakage Use the drops twice a day for up to seven days
