A member asked:
What are the chances of a 6% hydrogen peroxide solution, being used in my ears in close succession (couple hours), causing damage to my ear drum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Peroxide in ears: Hello. It is very unlikely that you will experience any problems while using peroxide in your ear canals. This liquid is commonly used as an additive for OTC products for wax removal. After you confirm clean ears with your doctor, I usually recommend ear cleaning with peroxide for the first few days of each month.
