Sure, why not? It stinks, but won't hurt you.

Haven't heard of that, but I have heard and tried hydrogen peroxide.

The vinegar is an old home remedy...but as someone with chronic ear problems and earaches, I have found that Hydrogen Peroxide works best. Use an eyedropper and put cotton in your ear to keep it from running out. Sleep on that ear when you go to bed tonight, Good Luck..hope it works for you.

Do the peroxide instead. Make sure you have a new bottle because it lses it's extra oxygen molecule fairly easily after you open the bottle. Pour it into the cap and then into your ear and let soak. Sounds like crazy stuff going on in there as it bubbles and does it's business but just leave it in there for awhile or stuff a cotten ball in for the night.Don't let it run in your hair or get on your cloths because it might lighten it. But it won't hurt your ear.I think it will help remove ear wax too.
