TURPENTINE – Ear Medicines.

Medicines for the ear are of two kinds, one for earache, which may be called Earache Drops, Earache Remedies, or Earache Oils, the other being intended for the improvement of the hearing, the latter kind being known as Ear Oils or Acoustic Oils. Of course no medicine will actually improve the hearing when impaired, unless it be due to a waxy concretion present, which may be softened and dissolved.

III Acoustic Oils.

Oil of Turpentine

Oil of Sweet Almonds

I have had issue's with Meniere's Disease (undiagnosed) but closes to the symptoms I've experienced like loss of hearing, dizziness, tinnitus and balance with general inner ear pain. I've tried olive oil, olive oil with garlic, essential oils of tea tree, eucalyptus, basil, lavender in different combination's. Out of all of them, Georgia Diamond Turpentine mixed with olive oil 1:1 ratio has worked the best. Hope this helps someone looking for answers.
