Ear wax – eating your way out of trouble?

There has been a rash of adverts for ways of removing ear wax. They look extremely dubious to me, but are bound to proliferate while it is impossible to get this down in the normal way. We are told that ear wax is generated as a reaction to hearing aids. But actually I have very little trouble. My theory is that it is more a symptom of eating the wrong sort of food. I would love to get some research done into that. Meanwhile, the best way to deal with it is to soften it with a few drops of oil (any of the vegetable oils would do but olive oil is said to be the best). On of our member asked if I knew where to get hold of a dropper a.k.a pipette. Ran this to earth at Superdrug complete with a bottle for just £1.
