Is there an advantage to using the Zymox ear treatment without Hydrocortisone over the one with? I've been using the one with and works just fine.

Hydrocortisone is a steriod and all it does is remove itchng. However, there are potential side effects on the liver and I was concerned for my senior cat. Even though my cat had itching, the Hydrocortisone-FREE worked really well. removed the infection and along with that the itching too.

No. I just tried it because it was cheaper. I'm not sure if there's a good reason to avoid hydrocortisone. I need it myself.

As far as I know, hydrocortisone is in the steroid family so for me it was a personal preference. Over some time there could be some side effects. Without hydrocortisone is enzyme based and more natural

My Lab responds to the zymox a little better. it seems to ease the pain a little, making it easier to apply. Not sure what the difference in but I do know out of the two, the zymox seems to work faster and definitely easier to administer.

In my experience, more often than not, all the water comes out; however if any water remains I use swimmer's ear drops to dry it out. The elephant ear washer is extremely effective. The benefits outweigh the risk in my opinion, especially since the ear drop remedy works like a charm if necessary.

I have a few different ones and haven't noticed much difference between them. I have a hydrofarm, a couple zoo meds and a couple exo terras. The zoo meds are probably My least favorite because they don't actually have the temperature, they're more of a dimmer switch.

I personally like it better. I used to use a Nasaline which is like a syringe. They all have the same benefits (I used to be an ENT sales rep for a big Pharma company).

This is an anti bacterial/anti fungal that clears up any other ear issues, I find. So far it has worked great for both of my dachshunds that have floppy ears and are prone to ear troubles.

Well, I have tried both and neither did much for me. I think I am going back to regular old Head and Shoulders. When I lived overseas a doctor prescribed an antihistamine that I took every night and it cleared up the itching AND flaking.

I know, I don't like the foam ones either. But there is another alternative I found and been using and far more comfortable! They are the TV Ears Rubber Silicone Extra/Replacement Ear Tips. They're really good though you fork out cash more but it's worth your comfort. Hope this helps.

I've used this product and didn't notice any symptoms. Dr. Joel Wallach (he's the man behind these products) and his book "Dead Doctors Don't Lie" is where I get my into. If you go to his site he advertises that he has several different radio shows, etc. and people can call him directly. His products have made such a fantastic difference in my health. I refer to his book constantly. If you order his book on Amazon, make sure you order the one that comes an audio tape. That will give you a good overview. Then you'll have the book to refer to. Personally always take his minerals and vit., then add other things that I find I need. His book describes each vit. & mineral and lays out what extras one might need for certain conditions, which he lays out in detail. Super book!! You can ask him, but, possibly you should start out with smaller amounts of the Osteo Fx Powder and work your way up, but follow the instructions on package about when to take. But that product did work great for us...my husband had a broken ankle which was not healing well and he's healing now. I have no association with Dr. Wallach or any of his products, except as a customer. Connie

I have used he "loop" on this to remove blackheads from my sons ears and it works very well. I use it after he has taken a shower and it makes it much easier. I have to redo them from time to time but it is very little trouble. I notice blackheads in people's ears and do not want my children to have them! :>o Best of luck.

Much better, I bought the wax vac and it was nothing but a joke, because I could never get it to work for me. Now that I use this with warm/room temperature water (not hot or cold) and a little peroxide or sweet oil my ears never get build up like before.

I use mine about a week or a little longer, but I have zero problems with ear infections or much earwax. After I first insert them, I can feel & hear the foam expanding. When I notice that the foam isn't expanding as vigorously as it did at first, I know they're not going to block noise as well, and it's time to replace with a new pair. Oddly, to me, it seems like one plug in the pair usually fails first; I guess I'd have expected they would both go about the same time. I strongly agree with those who say don't wash them; that was an accident that did not go well.

Both are excellent..... i use mine inside at my office, and can wear it for hours without discomfort. ...... i use the bigger ear tip provided.

I was wondering about that too, but there isn't difference between two items. So that, I purchased 'with headphones' and I tested last weekend wedding, it works great! I satisfied a lot :)

I don't ever flush the application. I put in the ear and massage around. It's the best solution for infections. No need to flush and I have been doing this now for years and been using this product for years and never had to. You will be fine. Just put an ample amount in.

I have no experience with Zostrix so I can make no comparison. However, I can tell you that my husband uses this Capzasin several times daily and quite a bit of it too, but I do not ever smell it. I am sensitive to odors related to allergies and immune conditions, so it is probably a good sign if I do not note an odor. The other bit I can share, in case this is helpful, is that he swears by Capzasin. He has used many of these and other types of creams for his chronic pain for nine years. I joke we should have bought stock in the company before he started using it. His description is that it is more effective at removing the pain sensation for him than anything else he uses or has tried.

Dear Craig: I have been using Flents for years and years and believe me, I have tried them ALL! In my opinon, there really is nothing BETTER!!! If used properly....ie. rolling it so that it can fit perfectly in your ear.....it is perfection! Unfortunately, lots of stores do not carry it (and I live in San Francisco). Thus, Amazon.com has saved the day!!! BTW, everyone I have introduced this product to has said the same thing!!! Good luck and may it work wonders for you, Craig!!!
