⚠️ Why You Should Be Cautious
-
Hearing loss has many causes
-
Age-related (presbycusis)
-
Earwax buildup
-
Infections or fluid in the middle ear
-
Noise damage
-
Genetic or neurological issues
Only some (like earwax) are treatable at home safely.
-
-
Random drops can be dangerous
-
Putting oils, herbal extracts, or unverified drops in your ear may:
-
Irritate the eardrum
-
Cause infection
-
Lead to permanent hearing damage
-
-
-
No “miracle drops” exist
-
No supplement or essential oil can restore damaged hair cells in the inner ear.
-
Only certified medical treatments (like removing wax, treating infection, or hearing aids/cochlear implants) can improve hearing.
-

Some causes are reversible (like wax or infections), but most age- or noise-related hearing loss is permanent without professional intervention.
