Advertising & Product Disclosure
Dr. Stramiello is the founder of Oto Anthro (Otolaryngological Anthropology), the company that makes Auil Mineral Oil Ear Drops, Coconut Auil Ear Drops, and Olive Auil Ear Drops. Those products are recommended on this site and SafeEarCare.com provides links to Amazon for purchase. That is a material financial relationship, and we disclose it plainly to remain transparent.
The clinical position of this site does not change based on what we sell. Gentle single-oil drops over peroxide or alcohol formulas, nothing inserted into the ear canal, and prompt evaluation for pain, drainage, bleeding, or sudden hearing changes — that is standard otolaryngology practice, and it was the recommendation before there was a product attached to it. If a plain drugstore mineral oil works for your ears, use it.
