I'm interested in what the results were, if you did this. I have a son that has to wear ear plugs for his work, and was complaining about the built up wax. I also have a daughter that had to have her ears irrigated out by the Nurse Practitioner, and he was glad that she had been putting some ear oil drops in prior to his doing that. He said it makes it easier to irrigate them if you use the oil prior.
