That headline is likely clickbait. There isn’t a single guaranteed result from putting 3% hydrogen peroxide in your ears.
In general, a few drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide in the ear can:
- Help soften and loosen earwax.
- Cause fizzing or bubbling sounds as it breaks down.
- Make earwax easier to drain or remove over the next few days.
- Sometimes cause temporary irritation, itching, or a feeling of fullness.
However, it can also cause problems in some people, especially if used too often or if there’s a perforated eardrum, an ear infection, or sensitive skin in the ear canal.
If someone used 5 drops in each ear once daily for 3 days, a common outcome would be that impacted earwax softened and some wax came out, potentially improving hearing if a wax blockage was present. But there is no universal “3 days later, this happened” result.
If you’re asking about your own ears or a specific article/video, share more details (or the link/text), and I can explain what likely happened.
