The Best Earwax Removal System
If you are looking for a gentle and refreshing method to keep your ears clean, welcome to the Ear Wax Nurse. We have the gold standard in ear irrigation, the FDA approved EARIGATOR™ Ear Spa.
The EARIGATOR™ is designed by an Otologist, and uses a gentle stream of water to swirl in your ear canal and efficiently wash the excess ear wax out. The EARIGATOR™ is effective even with impacted ear wax.
The water is kept at your body temperature for a comfortable experience. If the water that is too cold when enters your ear canal, it can cause vertigo. If the water is too hot, it can lead to a thermal injury to the sensitive skin or ear drum.
The pressure of the water flow is also crucial to keep your eardrum safe during the procedure. The EARIGATOR™ has built in safety features which means that the water pressure is well controlled and kept within a safe range for your sensitive ear drum.

What to expect during the ear spa procedure
After we have checked your ear health history and established whether you may have any risk factors (a perforated ear drum, ear trauma, infection or grommets), we will check your ears with a video otoscope. This will enable us to see if there is a buildup of ear wax and how severe the problem is.
We will place a cape around you similar to a hairdresser’s cape to protect your clothing from any water drips or splashes.
A catch basin that is shaped to fit snugly under your ear is placed in position. The basin collects the removed earwax and water and keeps you getting water on your clothes.
Next, the EARIGATOR™ tip will be positioned at the entrance of your ear canal, and a comfortable stream of warm water will flush your ear canal, leaving your ear thoroughly cleaned.
After the EARIGATOR™ Ear Spa we will dry your ears.
