If you’re dealing with clogged ears, muffled hearing, or discomfort caused by wax buildup, you might benefit from a professional ear wax removal service. At Valley Integrated Urgent Care, we provide gentle, safe, and effective ear flushing (also known as ear irrigation) to restore your hearing and relieve pressure caused by impacted wax.
Why Ear Wax Removal Is Important
Earwax plays a protective role by trapping dust, debris, and bacteria. But when it builds up excessively, it can cause a range of symptoms—such as earaches, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), reduced hearing, and even dizziness. Over-the-counter remedies or cotton swabs can often make the problem worse by pushing wax deeper into the ear canal. That’s why professional care is the safest and most effective option.
What Is Ear Flushing?
Ear flushing involves using a stream of warm saline to gently rinse away wax without damaging the ear canal or eardrum. This method is especially helpful for those who experience recurrent wax buildup, wear hearing aids, or frequently use earbuds. It’s a fast, low-risk procedure performed by our trained healthcare professionals.
Our 3-Step Ear Cleaning Process
We follow a proven, clinical method for effective ear wax removal:
- Examination with Otoscope – We begin by assessing your ear canal using a medical-grade otoscope to check for wax blockage and any signs of infection or irritation.
- Ear Flushing with Saline – A steady stream of sterile saline solution is used to dislodge and rinse out the wax buildup.
- Manual Removal (If Needed) – If any wax remains, we may use a sterile instrument to gently remove it and ensure your ear is completely clear.
When Should You Seek Ear Wax Removal?
You may benefit from ear cleaning if you experience:
- Decreased or muffled hearing
- Fullness or pressure in the ear
- Earaches or ringing
- Dizziness or balance issues
- Discomfort with earbuds or hearing aids
These are often signs of impacted wax that can be safely removed by our team.
