Ear Lavage
Ear lavage, also known as ear irrigation, is a procedure used to clean the ear canal by flushing out excess earwax or foreign debris. This is a common procedure done in any urgent care as earwax buildup causes discomfort, hearing loss, and other issues in patients.
Ear lavage works by introducing a gentle stream of warm water or saline solution to the affected ear using specialized irrigation tools. The water then softens and loosens the ear wax allowing it to be flushed out.
It’s best to see a healthcare professional if you are experiencing symptoms like pain, hearing loss, or discomfort as our providers are equipped to assess your discomfort and provide you with the appropriate treatment.
