[OT] Audax ear drops used to be packaged in a red and white box...
It might be their mould can be made "less deep"
"Will look up Otex, thanks."
"Can Otex be used with a hearing aid?
If you are using a hearing aid then you should not use Otex. It is advisable to seek expert medicinal advice if you have a history of any other ear problems."
Any tips on how to keep ears clear of wax build up? Olive oil is supposed to work but while it softens it does not remove. This is an issue for a wearer of in-ear hearing aid moulds. Wax build up not only blocks the canal but also prevents the mould from sitting fully in the ear causing chafing and pain (and feedback!).
Bicarb is mentioned in other places.
Any thoughts good people.
Thanks

I think I had a nurse deal with mine once, and she insisted they only use the syringes if there is a serious medical need. She then applied warm olive-oil, to very little effect ::-) It's probably a post-code lottery thing.I've had mine syringed at the surgery every five to ten years for decades. It is normally the practice nurse who does the job. I do have to soften the wax first, but just doing that would certainly not clear it.
I quite understand those who DIY.
20ml syringes won't generate much pressure but 60ml syringes will generate less.
Remember, the smallest syringes generate the highest pressures (even if the volume is trivial).

I don't get the physics of that Helly. But pressure wasn't the right term, I was referring to volume over time.

60 ml syringe has piston with area of about 8cm2 at a guess
20 ml syringe has piston with area of around 3 cm 2
5 ml syringe has piston area of maybe 1 cm2
Apply same force over smaller area and you'll get higher pressure; you obviously never wore stiletto heels ;) ;D and never had anyone wearing them tread on your toes!
The volume of the ear canal is less than a millilitre.

A friend who is an antiques dealer insisted that the tiny, silver, delicately shaped spoon or shovel shaped object was in fact for removing ear-wax.
“Many Japanese grew up having their ears cleaned by their mothers, and associate it with pleasant feelings of maternal closeness.”
Otex ear drops have always worked for me. They use Urea Hydrogen Peroxide and fizz in your ear.
