Abstracts

OTC ear care often engenders low interest from local consumers, especially as they consume such products rarely, when presenting a specific symptom or prescribed by a doctor. As a result, ear care remains as small category in consumer health, with people reluctant to self-medicate, given the sensitivity of the ear’s structure, or trying new products only when they strictly require them.
