Cerumenolytics are agents that soften hardened cerumen (earwax) and make it easier for it to be removed from the ear. They are softening agents, which include types of oil, emulsifying agents, glycerin and other lubricating substances. Cerumenolytics are placed into the ears to soften earwax and ease discomfort.
