What is Aqua Ear 35ml?

\n

Aqua Ear is an isopropyl alcohol ear-drying solution used to help prevent and treat swimmer's ear, medically known as otitis externa. After swimming, showering or surfing, water trapped in the ear canal can soften skin and create the warm, moist environment in which bacteria and fungi thrive - leading to painful outer-ear inflammation and infection. Aqua Ear's fast-evaporating drops displace trapped water and dry the canal so infection has less chance to take hold.

How to use Aqua Ear

\n

Tilt the head sideways so the affected ear faces up. Gently squeeze 4 to 5 drops of Aqua Ear into the ear canal. Keep the head tilted for about 30 seconds, then tilt the other way to allow excess to drain onto a tissue. Use after each water exposure or 2 to 3 times daily during mild swimmer's ear.

\n

If pain, swelling or discharge persists beyond 48 hours, see your doctor.

Frequently asked questions

\n\n
\n
\n What is swimmer's ear and how does Aqua Ear help?\n
\n

Swimmer's ear (otitis externa) is inflammation of the outer ear canal often caused by water trapped after swimming. Aqua Ear's isopropyl alcohol displaces the water and dries the canal, removing the damp conditions infections need to grow.

\n
\n
\n
\n How often can I use Aqua Ear drops?\n
\n

For prevention, use 4 to 5 drops in each ear after every water exposure. For mild swimmer's ear, use 2 to 3 times daily until the ear feels normal. If pain or discharge persists beyond 48 hours, see a doctor.

\n
\n
\n
\n Can I use Aqua Ear with grommets or a perforated eardrum?\n
\n

No. Aqua Ear contains alcohol which can be very painful and damaging if it enters the middle ear through a perforated eardrum or grommet. See your doctor for an alternative.

\n
\n
\n
\n Does Aqua Ear remove earwax?\n
\n

No. Aqua Ear dries the ear canal, not removes earwax. For wax build-up use a dedicated wax-removal product such as Waxsol Ear Drops. Using Aqua Ear on impacted wax may worsen blockage.

\n
\n
How often should I use Aqua Ear?

Use Aqua Ear after swimming, bathing or showering to help dry the ear canal, following the directions on the pack. Do not use it if you have ear pain, discharge or a perforated eardrum.

What is Aqua Ear used for?

Aqua Ear helps dry excess water trapped in the ear canal, which can cause discomfort and contribute to swimmer’s ear (otitis externa). It is a drying aid, not a treatment for ear infections.

Can children use Aqua Ear?

Aqua Ear can be used for children where appropriate — check the pack directions and ask your pharmacist, and do not use it if the eardrum may be perforated.

How do I use Aqua Ear?

Tilt the head, apply the drops into the ear as directed, then allow the ear to drain. See the pack for the exact number of drops and steps.

\n

Always read the label and use only as directed. If symptoms persist consult your doctor. Sources: NHS — Ear infections; NCBI StatPearls — Otitis Externa.
