Ear Irrigation
Why Choose Ear Irrigation for Ear Wax Removal?
Ear irrigation is a commonly used method to remove excess earwax (cerumen) and debris from the ear canal. This procedure involves gently flushing the ear with water or a saline solution to dislodge and expel the build up. Ear irrigation is a safe and effective treatment for those experiencing discomfort, hearing loss, or a blocked sensation due to earwax.
Why Choose Ear Irrigation?
• Thorough Cleaning: The process is highly effective at removing large accumulations of earwax, especially when other methods like cotton swabs are ineffective.
• Non-Invasive: Ear irrigation uses gentle water pressure to cleanse the ear canal, making it a non-invasive and low-risk option.
• Relieves Symptoms: For those suffering from impacted earwax, this procedure can quickly relieve symptoms such as muffled hearing, itching, and discomfort.
What to Expect
During the procedure, a controlled stream of water is used to flush the ear, dislodging the wax and washing it out. Most patients experience immediate relief after irrigation, although a follow-up may be needed in cases of severe build up.
Ear irrigation is best performed by a Healthcare professional to avoid risks such as infection or damage to the eardrum. It is an excellent option for those with frequent earwax build up or who are prone to ear blockages.
