Ear Syringing

How to remove ear wax

Ear syringing (also called ear irrigation) is a process which washes out the ear canal and clears any plugs or blockages of ear wax.

If your ear is blocked due to a wax build-up, you may experience symptoms such as earache or pain in the ear, difficulty hearing, dizziness or vertigo, itchy ears, ear infections, and tinnitus (when you can hear a high or low-pitched tone coming from inside of the ear). Excessive amounts of ear wax that block the ear canal are caused by:

  • Using cotton earbuds to clean the ear; actually pushes wax deeper into the ear canal
  • Wearing a hearing aid, earplugs, or in-ear speakers, all of which can interfere with the natural process of wax leave the ear
  • Abnormally narrow or small ear canals
  • Excess hair in the ear canal
  • In older age, the wax produced by the ears is harder and drier
