Replace it rather than burning it.", "source": "Ear Candles", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal-candle/" }, { "question": "What is in the box?", "answer": "The candles for the pack size you choose, with protective discs and the instructions.", "source": "Ear Candles", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal-candle/" }, { "question": "Which pack should I buy?", "answer": "The Personal Pack of 20 suits one or two people trying it. The Family Pack of 50 is the common choice for a household. The Bulk Pack of 100 is for people who use them regularly or for a therapy room.", "source": "Ear Candles", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal-candle/" }, { "question": "Are the three packs the same candle?", "answer": "Yes. The only difference is how many are in the box.", "source": "Ear Candles", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal-candle/" }, { "question": "Do you sell metal picks or suction guns?", "answer": "No. We stock ear candles, an irrigation kit and a camera ear pick, and nothing that goes deep into the canal blind.", "source": "Ear Candles", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal-candle/" }, { "question": "Are the prices in New Zealand dollars?", "answer": "Yes. Every price on this site is in New Zealand dollars. No tax is added at checkout.", "source": "Ear Candles", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal-candle/" }, { "question": "How much is delivery?", "answer": "Free on orders over $75. Below that it is $22. Every order goes by the same tracked service.", "source": "Ear Candles", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal-candle/" }, { "question": "How long will my order take?", "answer": "5 to 7 days across New Zealand, after a 24 to 48 hour handling time.", "source": "Ear Candles", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal-candle/" }, { "question": "Can I return them?", "answer": "Within 15 days of purchase, in original packaging, with proof of purchase, at your cost of return. Your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Law are additional to that and cannot be excluded.", "source": "Ear Candles", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal-candle/" }, { "question": "Who do I contact if something is wrong?", "answer": "Email theteam@customersupport.care and tell us the order number. Faulty, damaged, missing or incorrect items are sorted out by our support team.", "source": "Ear Candles", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal-candle/" }, { "question": "What is in the kit?", "answer": "An ear washer spray bottle, an ear basin, two bulb syringes, five spare tips and a cleaning brush.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "What do I put in the bottle?", "answer": "Warm water. Some people add a little hydrogen peroxide first to soften hardened wax. Nothing else is needed and the kit does not include a solution.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Does it come with the solution?", "answer": "No. The kit is the hardware. Warm water is what you fill it with.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Do I reuse a tip or fit a new one each time?", "answer": "The tips are washable and reusable. There are five in the kit so each person in the house can have their own, which is the sensible way to use them.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "How long do I have to keep pumping?", "answer": "It varies with how much wax there is. Work in short bursts, let the water drain into the basin, and stop when it runs clear or when you have had enough. Do not keep going at it in one session.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Is it safe to use at home?", "answer": "It is designed for home use and the tips control the flow so the water goes where you want it. Use warm, not hot, water, keep the pressure gentle, and stop if it hurts.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Who should not use the ear washer?", "answer": "Anyone with grommets, a perforated eardrum, a current ear infection, ear discharge, ear pain, recent ear surgery or a known eardrum problem. If you are not sure, ask a doctor first.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Can children use it?", "answer": "The pressure is gentle enough for older children, but an adult should do it and only if the child has no ear problems. For a small child, ask a doctor first.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Can I use it after ear surgery?", "answer": "Not without asking the surgeon or your doctor. Do not irrigate an ear that has been operated on until you have been told it is fine.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "What if it is uncomfortable?", "answer": "Stop. Discomfort usually means the water is too hot, the pressure is too high or the tip is in too far. If pain or hearing loss continues, see a doctor.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Are there any risks?", "answer": "Irrigation can cause dizziness if the water is much warmer or cooler than body temperature, and it should never be used on an ear with a hole in the eardrum. Used gently with warm water, most people have no trouble.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Will it clear a blockage?", "answer": "Softened wax often flushes out. Hard, impacted wax may not, and that is a job for a clinic rather than something to force at home.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "How often should I use the ear washer?", "answer": "Only when you feel you need to. Ears clear themselves most of the time, and cleaning them constantly is what causes problems.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Does it work on all types of wax?", "answer": "Soft and moderately hard wax usually. Very hard, dry wax is easier if you soften it for a few days first.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Is the ear washer better than cotton buds?", "answer": "Cotton buds push wax further in, which is the opposite of what you want. Rinsing works with the ear rather than against it.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "How does it compare to ear candling?", "answer": "They are different things. Irrigation is a rinse. Candling is a relaxation ritual and does not remove wax.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Will it improve my hearing?", "answer": "If muffled hearing is caused by wax and the wax comes out, hearing often feels clearer. If your hearing has changed for any other reason, see a doctor or an audiologist.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Does the ear washer prevent ear infections?", "answer": "No. It is a cleaning tool, not a treatment, and it should not be used on an ear that is already infected.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Is it recommended by healthcare professionals?", "answer": "Irrigation is a recognised way of dealing with wax and clinics use their own equipment for it. We are not claiming any endorsement of this kit.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Does it come with different nozzle sizes?", "answer": "It comes with five identical spare tips. There is one size.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "What is it made of?", "answer": "The bottle and basin are plastic and the tubing is silicone.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Is it easy to use if I have never done this before?", "answer": "Yes. Fill the bottle with warm water, fit a tip, tilt your head over the basin and squeeze gently. The instructions are in the box.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "How do I clean the ear washer?", "answer": "Rinse everything in warm soapy water after use, rinse the tips separately and let it all dry before packing it away.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Is it reusable?", "answer": "Yes. The whole kit is designed to be used again, which is the point of the spare tips.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Can I take it travelling?", "answer": "Yes. It packs down small and there is nothing in it that will leak if the bottle is empty.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Is there a warranty?", "answer": "It is covered by the consumer guarantees in the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. If it arrives faulty or fails in normal use, contact us.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Should I see a doctor first?", "answer": "If you have ear pain, discharge, hearing loss, grommets or any history of a perforated eardrum, yes. Otherwise it is a normal at-home cleaning kit.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "Can I return it?", "answer": "Within 15 days of purchase, in original packaging, with proof of purchase, at your cost of return. Your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Law are additional to that and cannot be excluded.", "source": "Ear Washer", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-washer/" }, { "question": "What does the camera show?", "answer": "A 1080p picture from a 3.0 megapixel lens, 4.5mm across, lit by six LEDs, streamed to your phone so you can see the ear canal instead of working blind.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "Can it take pictures and video?", "answer": "Yes. The app can capture stills and record video from the camera.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "Is the picture clear?", "answer": "It is a full HD image with its own lighting and a three-axis gyroscope, so it stays steady as the tip turns.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "What app does it use?", "answer": "The Be Bird app. Press and hold the button for three seconds, connect your phone to the device's wifi, and it walks you through the first use.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "Does it work with an Android phone?", "answer": "Yes, and with an iPhone. It makes its own wifi connection rather than plugging in.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "Does it need a cable?", "answer": "No. It is wireless and USB rechargeable.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "How long does the battery last?", "answer": "The 130mAh battery runs for about 30 minutes of continuous use, or about 20 days on standby. A full charge takes about half an hour.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "Is it waterproof?", "answer": "The tip is rated IP67, so you can rinse the lamp end under water or wipe it with alcohol. Do not put the body of the handle under water.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "Will the lens scratch my ear?", "answer": "The spoons are soft plastic and the lens sits behind them. Go slowly, stay at the outer part of the canal and never push.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "How deep can I see?", "answer": "You can see the outer canal clearly. It is not designed to go deep, and deep is where damage happens.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "Is it safe for all ages?", "answer": "It is for adults, and for older children with an adult doing it. Do not use it on a baby or a small child.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "Who should not use the camera ear pick?", "answer": "Anyone with a current ear infection, discharge, ear pain, grommets, a perforated eardrum or recent ear surgery. See a doctor instead.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "Can I use it if I have an ear infection?", "answer": "No. Leave the ear alone and see a doctor.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "Does it hurt?", "answer": "It should not. If it does, stop. Pain means you have gone too far in or you are pressing.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "Can it remove hard wax?", "answer": "Softened wax lifts out easily. Hard, impacted wax is better softened first or dealt with at a clinic, and forcing it is how eardrums get hurt.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "Does the camera ear pick prevent ear infections?", "answer": "No. It is a cleaning tool. Sharing tips without cleaning them is the thing to avoid, which is why it comes with spares.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "What tips come with it?", "answer": "A set of soft spoon tips in more than one shape, so different ear canals get one that fits.", "source": "Video Otoscope Ear Cleaner", "url": "https://earcandles.co.nz/ear-wax-removal/" }, { "question": "Can the family share it?", "answer": "Yes, with a clean tip per person.
