Ear Lavage (Ear Irrigation)
At Luxe Primary Practice, we offer professional ear lavage services, a gentle and effective solution to remove excessive earwax and restore optimal ear health. If you’re experiencing blocked ears, reduced hearing, or persistent discomfort, ear irrigation may be the relief you need.
What Is Ear Lavage?
Ear lavage, also known as ear irrigation, is a clinical procedure used to safely remove impacted earwax (cerumen), dirt, and debris from the ear canal. Using a controlled stream of warm water or saline solution, our trained medical staff carefully flushes out blockages without damaging the delicate structures of the ear.
Earwax is natural and protective, but in some cases, it can accumulate excessively and cause symptoms such as:
- Muffled hearing
- A sensation of fullness or blockage
- Earache or itching
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Dizziness or balance issues
When left untreated, impacted earwax can also lead to infections and more serious complications. That’s why professional care is important.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Examination: The process begins with a visual inspection of the ear using an otoscope to confirm wax impaction and rule out other causes of symptoms.
Irrigation Process: A gentle stream of warm water or saline is introduced into the ear canal using a medical-grade irrigation device. The solution loosens and flushes out the accumulated wax or debris.
Post-Procedure Check: After lavage, your provider will re-examine your ears to ensure that the canal is clear and healthy. A drying solution may be applied to reduce moisture and prevent infection.
The entire process typically takes 15–30 minutes and is painless and non-invasive.
Is Ear Lavage Right for You?
You may be a good candidate for ear lavage if you have:
- Hearing difficulties caused by earwax
