It should be safe to mix Hydrogen Peroxide with water to produce a solution safe enough to put in your ear and remove earwax, but not damage your eardrum. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned about the concentration.

The correct way to care for your ears are to pour a cap full of peroxide. It is better to do that than sticking cotton swabs/cue tips in your ear. And when you pour the peroxide it will make you hear better.


Why doesn't hydrogen peroxide fizz when i put it in my ear?

The chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. When it decomposes, it separates into water and oxygen gas. The reaction takes this form: 2 H2O2 -------> 2H2O + O2 The release of the oxygen gas is what makes the fizzy bubbles. When you put hydrogen peroxide solution on a wound or in your ears, it saturates the area with oxygen. Bacteria cannot live in this environment, and this is what makes peroxide a good disinfectant. It doesn't really help too much with earwax, though.


Does hydrogen peroxide blow up in water?

No. Hydrogen peroxide is usually dissolved in water to make it more stable. The peroxide you buy at the pharmacy is 3% hydrogen peroxide and 97% water. Pure hydrogen peroxide, which is a dangerously strong oxidizer, can explosively decompose into water and oxygen.
