How to Use Earol® Olive Oil Spray Where to Buy Earol® Olive Oil Spray
Earol® Olive Oil Spray is clinically proven to soften, loosen, break up and naturally remove ear wax, making it highly recommended as a preparation for dewaxing and cleaning procedures. It also helps soothe itchy and irritated ears with its pharmaceutical-grade olive oil formula — gentle enough for use from 1 year of age.
Used weekly after wax removal, it supports ongoing ear hygiene by keeping new wax soft and helping to prevent build-up, itching, and irritation. Delivered via a metered-dose spray, this product remains effective for up to 36 months after first use.
Thanks to its natural ingredients, this treatment is suitable for most people to use. Free from hydrogen peroxide, it offers one of the gentlest solutions for softening earwax.¹
Earol® Olive Oil Spray is the only earwax treatment product on the market suitable for use with children as young as 12 months old.
Gentle ingredients make this product suitable for all ages, with no solvents or animal products. None of the mess of ear drops, all of the ear care.
As we age, earwax can become dry, causing irritation in the ears. Earol® Olive Oil Spray can soothe itchy ears and soften earwax build-up caused by hearing aids.
Following this simple morning and evening routine softens, loosens, and breaks up earwax, allowing it to be naturally expelled from the ear. It can also be used to soothe itchy and irritated ears. Suitable for adults and children over 12 years:
Open the ear canal by gently lifting and pulling outwards on the upper ear.
Spray once or twice into the blocked ear.
Massage the small bump on the outside of the ear while moving the jaw up and down, and left to right. This helps the spray adhere fully to the ear canal walls.
Apply twice daily for 4 or 5 days before wax removal, or once a week after wax removal as a preventative measure.
If using Earol® Olive Oil Spray to soften earwax buildup prior to earwax removal, audiologists recommend applying twice daily in each affected ear, for 4-5 days before your appointment.
To use Earol® Olive Oil Spray to prevent earwax build-up, apply the spray just once a week. This will help maintain soft ear wax and healthy ears, without stimulating the earwax-producing glands in the ear canal too much.
With a small, metered dose of olive oil applied to hardened or impacted earwax, the oil is absorbed by the wax, hydrating and loosening the bonds between particles and causing it to break up. It also lubricates the ear canal so that earwax can be removed by an audiologist.
Earol® Olive Oil Spray is a readily available, over-the-counter product supplied by many UK retailers and pharmacies. Click this link for details of where to buy Earol® products.

Ears are highly sensitive organs, and looking after them is as important as any other personal hygiene. Cleaning the outer ear regularly with warm soapy water and a gentle cloth is recommended2, but never insert objects smaller than your elbow into the ear canal, as this can push wax further inside and cause blockages.3
Using Earol® weekly can keep earwax soft and prevent build-ups of wax.
