Can dry impacted ear wax resolve on its own with olive oil ear drops without ear syringing or microsuction?

Doctor's Answer

Hi, it is possible for this to happen although it might take a long time. If the impaction is complete, removing it with suction or other instruments is the best option, but if there is a gap for water to make its way beyond the wax to flush it out, syringing will work as well.
