Earwax Removal

We have several methods for earwax removal. Our primary method for earwax removal is through the use of irrigation. Our equipment heats up water to body temperature and flushes stubborn ear wax from the ear canal.

If you have a history of ear surgery or perforated eardrums, we don’t recommend irrigation. Instead, we may use tools such as curettes or suction to remove earwax.
