What is Water Irrigation?
Water irrigation is a gentle, medically approved technique that uses a controlled stream of warm water to dislodge and flush out built-up wax from the ear canal. It’s:
- Safe and effective when performed by trained professionals
- Ideal for patients with excessive wax build-up
- A comfortable alternative to home remedies or cotton buds (which often make things worse!)
Do you need Ear Wax Removal?
You might be surprised how much ear wax can affect your daily life. Symptoms of blocked ears include:
- Muffled or reduced hearing
- Tinnitus (ringing or buzzing)
- A feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear
- Earache or discomfort
- Increased wax due to earplugs, hearing aids or earbuds
Some people produce more wax than others, and it can become impacted from attempts to clean it with fingers, cotton buds, or in-ear devices.
What to expect at Jenhams Clinic
- Pre-appointment advice: We recommend using olive oil ear drops for 3–5 days before your appointment to soften the wax.
- Professional assessment: Our clinician will assess your ears to ensure irrigation is suitable.
- Gentle irrigation: Warm water is gently introduced into the ear canal to flush out the softened wax.
- Post-removal check: We’ll ensure your ears are clear and provide aftercare advice if needed.
The entire process is usually complete within 30 minutes, and most patients report immediate improvement in their hearing and comfort.
