How is the home ear irrigation service performed?
The home ear irrigation service may include procedures such as curettage, lavage, and aspiration, depending on the need. After an examination by a professional healthcare provider, the appropriate treatment method is determined. Depending on this, the process of cleaning the accumulated wax or infection in the ear canal is performed. The procedures done for home ear irrigation or earwax removal include:
Ear lavage
A solution is dropped into the ear canal to soften the wax and external ear debris. Then the patient's head is tilted so the ear faces down, and the solution is sprayed into the ear, performing the irrigation. When the solution flows out clearly, it means the ear is cleaned of wax.
Ear aspiration
Aspiration is the process of vacuuming the wax accumulated in the ear using a device called an aspirator. As in lavage, a special solution is first dripped into the ear to soften the wax. Then the aspirator device vacuums out the wax.
Curettage
This procedure is performed using a curette instrument. The earwax is softened by dripping a solution into the ear. Then, with the curette instrument, the softened wax is removed, completing the cleaning process.

What is earwax?
Earwax is the accumulated form of a waxy secretion (cerumen) naturally produced by the glands in the ear canal. In medical terms, earwax is called "cerumen impaction." The color of earwax can be yellow, green, gray, or black. This secretion, produced to protect the ear from harmful particles, naturally flows out of the canal. Earwax exists in everyone to some degree. For various reasons, excessive production and the trapping of dust and external particles can lead to problematic buildup, potentially causing infection and hearing loss.
Why does earwax form?
Earwax forms when dust and dirt stick to the cerumen secreted in the outer ear canal. Another factor can be excessive ear hair. Working in very dusty and dirty environments increases the likelihood of earwax accumulation. Generally, the following causes are responsible for earwax:
- Dust and dirt sticking to the cerumen secretion
- A narrow ear canal
- Excessive ear hair
- Wounds developing in the ear
- Cotton swabs used for ear cleaning
- Earplugs and headphones that block ear ventilation
How does earwax manifest? What are its symptoms?
Earwax produces certain symptoms. By observing these, you may suspect earwax buildup. However, diagnosis should be made by a specialist and treatment applied accordingly. Symptoms of earwax include:
- Feeling of blockage and fullness in the ear
- Earache
- Decreased hearing
- Muffled sounds
- Itching in the ear
- Ear discharge
In advanced cases:
- Foul odor from the ear
- Dizziness
- Cough
If you suspect earwax buildup, be sure to seek help from an ENT specialist.
