Abstracts

Ear care in Ireland remains largely underdeveloped, due in large part to consumers’ reliance on home remedies for the treatment of ear wax, with olive oil often favoured as a means to loosen built-up ear wax. Despite advice from medical professionals and manufacturers alike, many Irish consumers continue to rely on cotton buds to maintain the cleanliness of the ear canal.
