Let’s get that EAR examined and diagnosed!
Got Ear Wax?
Let’s Talk About Ear Syringing!
Do your ears feel blocked?
Do your ears feel full of stuff?
Are you turning up the music volume because your ears are blocked with wax?
You might have too much ear wax!
Ear syringing (also called ear irrigation) is a safe and easy way to clean out your ears
when there’s too much ear wax inside.
Why Does Ear Wax Need to Be Removed?
Ear wax is normal and helps protect your ears.
But sometimes, it builds up too much and causes problems like:
• Blocked or full ears: It can feel like your ear is clogged.
• Hard to hear: Too much wax makes sounds seem quiet or muffled.
• Ear pain: Hard wax can push on your ear and make it sore.
• Ringing sounds (tinnitus): You might hear buzzing or ringing noises.
• Feeling dizzy: Your balance can be affected by wax blocking your inner ear.
Getting Ready for Ear Syringing:
Before the doctor cleans your ears, they might ask you (or your grown-up) to use olive oil ear drops for a few days. This softens the wax and makes it easier to wash out.
What Happens During Ear Syringing?
Don’t worry—it doesn’t hurt!
There will be some water sounds from the water cleansing spray.
1. Check-up: The doctor looks inside your ear to see how much wax there is.
2. Warm water wash: Using a special tool syringe, the doctor gently squirts warm water into your ear to clean out the wax.
3. Wax comes out: The water helps loosen the wax, and it washes out easily.
4. Final look: The doctor checks again to make sure your ear is all clean.
After the Cleaning
After your ears are clean, the doctor might tell you to keep using ear drops sometimes to stop the wax from building up again.
When You Shouldn’t Get Ear Syringing
Ear syringing isn’t right for everyone.
You shouldn't have it if:
• You’ve had ear infections often
• You’ve had ear surgery before
• Your eardrum is damaged (a hole or tear)
• You have ear pain or pus coming out
