Ear irrigation is a process that involves using water or other fluids to clean out the ear canal. It works by flushing out any excess earwax, dirt, or debris that may be trapped inside.

This helps to soften and flush out the buildup, allowing it to exit the ear naturally. The procedure is typically painless, though you may feel a sensation of fullness or mild pressure in the ear. Most people find the process quick and comfortable, and it is usually completed within a few minutes. After irrigation, your hearing may improve, and any discomfort caused by wax buildup should be relieved. If you have a history of ear infections, ear surgery, or a perforated eardrum, please inform your healthcare provider before the procedure.
