Would it be ok to use this to get hydroge peroxide out of my ear after I pour it in to break up the ear wax instead of a bulb syringe?

No 've had a lot of people tell me I have to much earwax, even doctors. Once I tried to have them remove it but when they started I got ticklish and we had to stup and q-tips just aren't cutting it, the are actually packing it down .

use a waterpick. they have them at dr offices. it shoots water in your ear at a certain pressure and then sucks it out. they also sell cheap ones at walmart.

I would think that would be OK to use. However I think just by tilting your head the hydrogen peroxide would come right out.
What I used when I had that problem was some ear wax softening drops. Use them for a couple of days and either use the syringe thing to put water in (or the things in the picture) and the ear wax came right out. It was gross and I was surprised at how much could possibly come out of my ear. But it worked, my ear didn't hurt anymore and I could hear.
Used it on my young nephew's ear (when he was around six years old) and we had to take him to doctor anyway because he was running a fever. The doctor was able to just pop that wax right out after it had been softened by the ear drops. The doctor didn't seem to have a problem with us using the drops on him either.

Ear wax is a key biological product for protecting your inner ear. Cleaning the wax with a q-tip without going deep into the ear is recommended. You shouldn't be trying to remove anymore than that. Hope that helps.

some people produce more than others. you can schedule a cleaning with your annual check up each year. for maintenance, stand in a warm shower and let the water run into your ear canal. this keeps the wax loosened and flushes it out. you can do this monthly. dry with a blow dryer on a low setting. never stick anything into your ears.

I have used debrox and murine ear wax removal. They both work very good, and they are a heck of a lot safer than sticking something in your ear, like a q tip.

Ear candling, most salons have it, or places with massage therapy. It doesn't take long, doesn't hurt and helps a lot. But honestly the wax in your ear is helping you more than anything, it keeps outside material from getting inside and causing infections.
