White Vinegar Rinses

• Rinse the ear canals twice a day with ½ strength white vinegar (dilute it with equal parts warm water).
• Fill the ear canal.
• After 5 minutes, remove it by turning the head to the side and moving the ear. (Exception: ear tubes or hole in eardrum.)
• Reason: restores the normal acid pH of the ear canal and reduces swelling.
• Continue until symptoms resolve.
