Users often put olive oil drops in their ear to soften wax, but the oil can remain trapped behind wax or against the eardrum, causing:
: As the olive oil enters, the dry wax absorbs it and expands before it eventually softens and breaks down.
: While your head is tilted, gently massage the skin just in front of your ear (near the jaw). This can help break the surface tension of the oil and encourage it to move down the canal.
“Trapped oil detected – starting gentle evacuation cycle.”
