EAROL™ 10ml Olive Oil Spray


A new product designed to help remove troublesome earwax, which clogs up hearing instruments and dulls the hearing is now available from The Hearing Care Centre Ipswich.


Earol™ ear spray has a simple yet unique delivery system capable of dispensing a discrete unit dose of olive oil into the outer ear. It eliminates the need for the use of a dropper or cotton wool therefore significantly reducing spillage or waste.


In preparation for syringing, the NHS often recommends that olive oil is instilled into the auditory canal to soften the earwax. Earol™ has been specifically designed to simplify this process.


Why is it so good?

  • Larger bottle and actuator, easy to use especially for those with less dexterity
  • Tapered actuator for easy and comfortable insertion
  • Directed mist spray ensures correct dosage without spillage or waste
  • Transparent bottle indicates remaining oil

 

          MRP £4.99 (+ £1.00 p&p)


Simple and effective, no chemicals, completely natural pharmaceutical grade olive oil in a unique measured dose spray.


The 10ml bottle is capable of delivering a directed spray of olive oil into the auditory canal via an otological actuator. This increases the surface area of the oil, improving efficacy and ensuring that the oil does not run out of the ear. This combination dramatically enhances user compliance and significantly reduces mess.


Earol™ is highly user friendly. The user simply places the actuator into the opening of the auditory canal and depresses the actuator. This can be followed by gently massaging the tragus.


Unlike past practice, there is no need for a cotton-wool stopper and the patient does not suffer any additional hearing impairment due to a cotton wool wad or swamping of the auditory canal. Also, there is no requirement for other persons to be present when using Earol™.

  • Will Earol™ improve my hearing?

The removal of earwax is known to significantly improve hearing and balance. In some cases, it may still be necessary to have your ears syringed, however if you have been using Earol™ the syringing will be more effective.

 

  • Why will Earol™ help syringing?

Practice Nurses and Doctors now advise patients to use olive oil prior to syringing, this is to soften and remove earwax. In doing this, the syringing process is less invasive and more effective.

 

  • What makes Earol™ different?

Administering olive oil manually is both difficult and messy; it is also very hard to judge the exact amount of Olive Oil required. However by using Earol™ you can be assured that you are delivering the correct amount of olive oil required.

 

  • Why should I use Earol™?

Earol™ Olive Oil Spray is a simple and effective method of softening or naturally removing earwax and thus reducing the need for syringing or to facilitate syringing should it prove necessary. Once your ears have been syringed you can use Earol™ regularly to maintain healthy ears.

 

  • Can I use Earol if I am pregnant?

There are no known side effects of using Earol whilst pregnant or breast feeding, however you should always inform your doctor before use.

 

  • What is Earwax?

Earwax is both anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. It serves as a water repellent for the auditory canal. Earwax is produced by tiny glands in the passage between the inner and outer ear. These glands are called ceruminous glands and they are a special type of sweat gland. They produce earwax to form a protective coating inside the ear canal. The wax traps dust and other tiny objects, preventing them from getting into the delicate interior of the ear.


Some people produce more earwax than others. It usually makes its way out of the ear gradually. Little pieces or flakes of wax fall out of the ear from time to time, but in some people the wax builds up and hardens, forming a blockage.

 

Causes of Earwax:


There are number of factors leading to a build up of Earwax these include:

  • Excessive production of wax that the ear cannot clear naturally.
  • Persistent exposure to loud noise triggering the above response.
  • Viral infections.
  • Narrow ear canals or those, which lie at an angle slowing the natural passage of wax leading to build up.
  • A dusty or dirty working environment.
  • Earplugs and hearing aids. Should the natural self cleaning process fail due to misguided use of cotton buds or hearing aids the wax can be pushed deeper down the into the auditory canal where it can become impacted.
  • Poking the ear canal with towels or fingers etc. encourages the glands to produce more wax.
  • Most people’s ears clear the wax as fast as it is produced but if it builds up it can cause problems.

 

Symptoms of compacted earwax include:

  • Mild to severe hearing loss
  • Pain in either or both ears
  • Tinnitus
  • Dizziness or Vertigo
  • Itching
  • Otitis externa
  • Reflex cough
  • Some people however are asymptomatic
