I’ve been told many times that rubbing alcohol is not recommended to get inside the ear canal. However, that is not strictly correct. The ear canal is actually a fluid, which means that alcohol is a very good solvent for oils and wax. So when alcohol is applied to the ear canal, it’s doing two things: it’s drying the wax, and it’s cleaning the ear canal.
The only downside of rubbing alcohol is that it can cause allergies in some people. If you’re unsure about alcohol that has alcohol in it, you can also try rubbing alcohol in the area of the ear canal that is the most sensitive to the alcohol. Again, you can find more information about the possible side effects of alcohol here.
In this case, alcohol can only be used for the first part of the drying. So you have to be careful how much you use for the second. It is recommended that you use less alcohol than you think you will need.
If you can’t put on earplugs, you can at least put on some earplugs. The earplugs should fit snug but not pressurize the ear, and you should be able to hear the music, but not the person singing.
I am so sick of hearing about how alcohol is dangerous, especially in the context of earplugs. Its just not true. Alcohol is used as a lubricant to keep earwax from drying out. Alcohol is also used as a solvent, which is why it can be found in many everyday household items. The alcohol will also dry out the earwax, and that can lead to ringing.
Alcohol is not actually dangerous at all. It is, however, a depressant, and you should really not have it in your ears at all because you can damage your eardrums.
A simple earplax should be fine. You can also buy one at any hardware store. Just be sure that the two plugs aren’t touching, since you can’t just swap them.

I know I’ve got a lot of readers that swear by these earplax, but I think it’s important to mention that there are products that prevent earplugs from being accidentally inserted into the ear at all.
