If you’re referring to the viral claim “Put 2 drops in your ear and you will hear like before,” be very cautious. There is no universal 2-drop remedy that can restore hearing, and putting an unidentified substance into the ear can sometimes make the problem worse.
What might actually be happening?
Hearing loss has many possible causes:
- Earwax blockage — can sometimes be treated with appropriate wax-softening drops and removal.
- Ear infection or inflammation — may require specific treatment.
- Fluid behind the eardrum — often needs evaluation rather than drops.
- Damage to the inner ear or hearing nerve — ear drops generally cannot reverse this.
- Age-related hearing loss — usually isn’t restored by home remedies.
⚠️ Don’t put random oils, peroxide, garlic, alcohol, or homemade mixtures in your ear
This is particularly important if you have ear pain, drainage, a perforated eardrum, ear tubes, recent ear surgery, or significant hearing loss, because certain drops can cause injury.
Sudden hearing loss is an emergency. If hearing suddenly decreases in one or both ears—especially over hours to a few days—seek urgent medical evaluation rather than trying home drops. Some causes are time-sensitive.
If you tell me what the “2 drops” are supposed to be (or paste the recipe from the video), I can tell you whether they’re safe and whether there’s any evidence they can restore hearing.
