Mack'sProRinse Ear Wax Removal System - 0.5 FL OZ Ear Drops, Ear Plugs, Ear Wash Tub & Ear Syringe with Triple-Action Rinse Tip

I was dealing with nasty external ear infection caused by impacted wax which became waterlogged after two separate doctors tried to remove it. By my second appointment, the combination of pain and vertigo caused me to break out in a cold sweat and eventually get knocked out cold for a few moments. (For the record, I have a pretty high threshold of pain, but my ear canals are hyper sensitive for some reason.) The after effects of this were about 4-5 days of what I can only classify as excruciating pain and laying on heating pads.Needless to say I have tried EVERY OTC remedy and absolutely dreaded going back to the doctor. I tried pouring hydrogen peroxide and the softening drops in my ear, but the build-up was so sense that nothing could penetrate the "wall."The Debrox and other systems have a small bulb style syringe which doesn't cut it for deep impacted wax. It's pretty worthless for the tough cases. I also picked up a more true syringe style with a 3-directional sprayer (very similar to this one) which got comparable "stars" on Amazon, but the volume of water sprayed by it just wasn't enough.Oddly enough, the syringe on this one looks and feels somewhat cheap, and takes longer than one would hope to fill up since the accordion style design sucks up water pretty slowly. That's where the downside of the kit ends. The 3-directional sprayer prevents water from painfully striking the eardrum (eliminating the risk of perforation), and the VOLUME of water which it sprays is perfect and enough to flush out disgusting chunks of grossness from your ear.I was at my wits end until I found this kit, and slowly yet surely, over the course of 3-4 days, the progress has been awesome. This kit has managed to remove enough wax so that the hydrogen peroxide and softeners are beginning to penetrate deep into my canal and beginning the process of breaking apart the innermost layers of the awful build up. At this point, I feel like I'm only 2-3 days of putting this nightmare behind me.I'd give this six stars if I could. The price/value comparison here is unparalleled and totally worth every penny. Total life saver.

The Mack's ProRinse Ear Wax Removal System comes with everything you need for ear care, including ear drops, plugs, and a wash tub. The ear drops are effective at softening wax, making it easier to clean your ears. However, I found the process to be a bit messy, and the wash tub could be more user-friendly to avoid spills. While it does help with earwax buildup, you may need to repeat the process a few times for optimal results. Overall, it's a decent option for ear wax removal, but be prepared for some cleanup afterward!

This is easily the most satisfying thing I've bought on Amazon.I have chronic wax buildup that I usually have to get syringed out once a year or so. It doesn't help that I sleep with earplugs every day. And when it's blocked it's bad -- like how-in-the-blazing-heck-did this-fit-into-the-ear-canal-kind of bad.Within 2 days of a major miserable blockage I was back to hearing stereo. By day 3, more things had fallen out of my ear than at any doctor's office. It was like one of those clowns in a tiny car tricks -- it just kept coming.I used the drops twice a day as directed, but I also used the syringe every evening (because I am an impatient cat and when something blocks your hearing you want it out YESTERDAY).The syringe works very gently but very well. Filling it up takes 3 seconds if you do it properly, ie submerge the whole thing in water and let the air out first. You need to be patient with it and use warm water otherwise it will make you dizzy.The drops are my favorite part -- they tickle and pop in a very satisfying way.Apparently the drops are for a single use, and lose potency after they've been open for a few days so keep that in mind. I did both ears at the same time because I didn't want to order another bottle in a few months.The only minor issue is the little tub is completely flimsy and broke instantly. But one can easily scrounge up a clean container in one's kitchen of an appropriate size. The syringe is perfect and can take a good beating.Have fun!
