can i use 95% rubbing alcohol?

Per my doctor's instruction: use 50/50% mix of isopropyl alcohol and white vinegar (5% acidic) to rinse outer ears after swimming, showering, etc. The alcohol will displace water and the vinegar has antimicrobial properties to prevent infection. He specifically said not to use Hydrogen Peroxide in the solution, as that can cause water to be retained in the ear canal. This solution is extremely affordable and effective. I keep it on the boat, in with my scuba gear bag, in the bathroom - wherever I might get water in my ears, and have used it extensively over time with great results.

what is expiry date please?

There is always an expiration date on the bottle. Seems like it was about 18 months from when I received it.

I have been using this product for the past 25 years. It is safe and it helps you to avoid the painful swimmer's ear.

Approximately how many applications can you get out of a 1 oz bottle? thanks

It depends if you are talking about one ear or two. I often swim with headphones so no water gets in my ears. When I swim without them, I usually need a couple of drops in each ear. I’d say that you have 30-40 applications for 2 ears easily. Rite Aid also has a product that I find works well - they are both essentially alcohol.
