Ear syringing, often referred to as ear irrigation, is a procedure used to clear excess earwax or debris from the ear canal. (This can include food or insects!) It involves using a syringe filled with a warm saline solution or water to flush out the ear. This treatment is primarily performed by healthcare professionals, it is generally safe and effective when carried out correctly. Excess earwax, also known as cerumen, can accumulate in the ears, potentially leading to discomfort, hearing loss, or an increased risk of infection. Ear syringing helps to prevent these issues and maintains overall ear health. This article will help you understand why you may need this treatment plus the risks, benefits and costs associated with ear syringing.
