Details.
A doctor examines the ears before saline or sterile water is inserted into the ear canal to flush out ear wax. The procedure includes monitoring and adjustment, a post-procedure examination, and aftercare guidance to keep the ears dry and avoid inserting foreign objects into the ear canal. It may help with symptoms such as dulled hearing, blocked ears, earache, tinnitus, or vertigo, and may be required before fitting a hearing aid or examining the eardrum.
