This method involves using a syringe or specialized ear irrigation kit to flush warm water into the ear canal. The water can be used alone or with the addition of some drops of hydrogen peroxide or saline solution. The force of the water helps dislodge and remove the wax.
Earwax removal with a scoop, also known as a curette, is a method used by healthcare professionals to remove excess wax from the ear canal.
Ear drops can help soften the wax, making it easier to remove. Follow the instructions provided with the ear drops and usually, a few drops are placed into the ear canal, and then the ear is gently massaged to allow the drops to reach the wax. Afterward, gently flushing the ear with warm water using a bulb syringe or specialized ear irrigation kit can help remove the softened wax.
