Just had to do this again
Go find some instructions online first, since I would advise against sticking anything in your ear because Imgur told you to. I had a nurse recommend doing this weekly, but as an amateur, I try to avoid putting stuff in my ears more often than once a month.

I realize people not wanting to use hydrogen peroxide, but there's nothing better for breaking up and dissolving earwax.

why would you water it down? It's already strongly diluted
Cyzyk
Mixing it with hot water makes it warm and a lot less uncomfortable to have in your ear for a minute.

I don't find it uncomfortable, and I'm not diluting a 4% solution, I'm not a homeopathy guy

You may want to switch to a vinegar & water mixture unless your issue is excess wax or bacterial. You may open yourself to fungal infection.

if you put shit in your ears consistently you will get swimmers ear. i had it briefly when i was on the swim team.

1) The OP specified once a month maximum, which is definitely not constantly, & chlorine & water is a bit stronger than vinegar & water.

2) Also stronger than 1.5% h2o2. There is also a legitimate concern with a bacterial or fungal imbalance due to constant headphone use.
