Be very cautious with rubbing alcohol right on the skin! My dad cleaned his ears with alcohol dipped Q-tip daily as long as he was alive. But I tried doing that, and got a SUPER inflamed ear canal from the potency of alcohol on my sensitive skin. Thing is, I tend to abraid my ear canals as they ITCH during the day, and I gently rub that with a Q-tip. It’s a no-no, but I’d go CUCKOO if I didn’t scratch 'em.
I’d also stay away from Miracel as that is another “foreign” ingredient applied to an ear canal into which a pretty unbreathable mold is inserted. Naw. Best thing is to make sure the AIDS are cleaned in a UV/heat sanitizer nightly. Even putting alcohol wipes on them can damage the aid. I’ve done that myself!
I have no issue with wax AT ALL either, but dang those ears itch with just wearing silicone domes. I even dry them with a hair dryer after showers - get the canal as dry a possible before putting aids in.
I buy boxes of small alcohol prep pads right at Amazon. Doesn’t mean they’re a good thing for my ears or my aids.
