No don't use it, my ear nose and throat specialist yelled at me once for that he said that peroxide causes scar tissue in the ears. He also said that used over a period of time it can cause hearing loss.

YES!!! I am 40 years old and have woke up with ear problems since I was around 12 years old. Half alcohol and half peroxide in the ear and the pain is gone within 10 minutes~ Of course, depending on your condition.

Half peroxide and half rubbing alcohol. Swimmers use this to stay off swimmers ear.

Yes, It works.   A couple drops in the ear. Keep it in for ten to fifteen minutes. Turnover and drain. Problem solved.

Using it right now for my sister who was sobbing 10 minutes ago. Now shes sleeping like a baby because it relieved the pain so well.

Use warm sweet oil or warm virgin olive oil with a cotton ball.  Lay on the side that doesn't hurt so the oil can go into your ear canal & do its job.  Good luck.

It does work, it is what my doctors ear, nose and throat specialist told him to use, but try half peroxide and half rubbing alcohol, to ease any pain you may have try warm oil on a cotton ball, it will ease it up, also a hair dryer sometimes will help
