Ear wax removal by irrigation is a procedure in which a liquid solution is poured into the ear canal to remove excess earwax and debris. A physician or other medical professional can perform this procedure.
The benefits of ear wax removal by irrigation are that it is often safer and more effective than using cotton swabs to remove earwax. It also has the benefit of being a modern technique, as opposed to previous methods such as using olive oil or mineral oil. The main downside to this method is that it might not work for those who have perforated eardrums. For that we recommend Ear Syringing
People used cotton swabs to remove ear wax in the past, but this has led to many problems with Ear Health. These problems include perforated eardrums, bleeding ears and ruptured ear drums.
Irrigations are a much safer way of removing ear wax since they don’t use sharp objects to do the job.
The technique of earwax removal by irrigation has been around for centuries, but it has only recently become popular. This is because doctors used to perform the procedure with a syringe, which was very dangerous and could lead to perforated eardrums or other complications. With the introduction of safer equipment, such as water jet irrigators, the procedure became much more accessible and less risky.
