This involves the use of an electronic water irrigator. The machine involved stores water in a reservoir unit and water is pumped through a hand-held nozzle into your ear. The water dislodges, breaks down and washes the wax out of the ear.

This is only a safe method if the person conducting the procedure has had a previous view of your ears and knows what your healthy ear should look like.

​

Please note ear irrigation is unsafe if you have or have had:

• Ear infections

• Discharge or mucus

• Holes in your eardrum

• Previous ear surgery.
