According to a survey carried out in more than three hundred doctor′s surgeries it emerged that many people try to eliminate the wax-plugs with excessive cleaning or using violent methods cleaning the ear duct with rubber syringes chemical-based sprays manually or with cotton buds. These methods may be dangerous as the wax may be pressed further into the ear duct blocking it completely and risking damage to the extremely sensitive membrane of the eardrum. This could open the way to the middle ear for bacteria which can cause serious infections.

How it works

Heat

The heat which is beneficially released towards the inside of the ear reinforces the blood circulation and helps soften the wax;

Suction

The warm air which rises creates a depression and consequent suction chimney effect at the base of the cone. This helps eliminate waste and deposits from the ear canal. It also liberates close pores regenerates the breathing of the skin and helps regain the correct tension of the eardrum following holidays in the mountains flights swimming and diving which can cause that blocked ear feeling.
