can 6% peroxide damage the ear?

Question

i had an ear wax problem, i poured a little 6% peroxide in my ear, and kept on flushing it and replacing it with new solution...i fixed the wax problem, now i feel as if my ear canals r narrower or something

does any of what i did above cause any ear damage?

i feel no pain though

Answer 1

ear wax is a daily thing you will always have it use a Q-Tip to clean it unless it was bad and you Had to use the ear wax removal stuff ,it seams smaller cause the peroxide dried out the canal but it will come back if you still have this syndrome see a Ear nose and throat Dr asap, new ears wax is white, and old ear wax is yellow, and peroxide is for x ternal use only says on the bottle for other application's must see a Dr, But I don't think you did any damage, don t use Rubbing alcohol it will burn your inner ear out

Answer 2

I made an appointment to see my practice nurse(uk). Then bought some Almond oil, as recommended by the doctor, and squirted that into my ear for a few days prior to seeing the nurse who proceeded to quickly and easily syringe the softened wax from the offending ear. Result- very loud traffic for a few hours.

Answer 3

I wouldn't think so I had my ears cleaned out at the doctors and thats what they used. But I would never put rubbing alcohl in your ears.
Maybe you should see a ear, nose and throat doctor if you continue to have problems.
Maybe you need to clean them again.

Answer 4

you should use rubbing alchol in the future.
