Earwax, also known as cerumen, is a naturally occurring substance that
helps protect and lubricate the ear canal. However, when too much
earwax builds up, it can cause hearing problems, discomfort, and even
infection. One effective way to remove earwax is by using ear irrigation,
which uses water to flush out the wax.
Water volume
The success of ear irrigation depends on two key factors: water volume
and pressure. If the water volume is too low, it may not be able to
effectively flush out the earwax. On the other hand, if the water pressure
is too high, it can be uncomfortable and even dangerous, potentially
causing damage to the eardrum.
It is important to use the right amount of water volume and be able to
control the pressure when performing ear irrigation. This can vary
depending on the individual's ear canal size and the amount of earwax
present.
SoftSpray Irrigation Tip
Several types of irrigation kits are available on the market which make
flushing easier, some safe but many not. Most consist of a spray bottle
with a flexible hose, a low volume trigger sprayer and an irrigation tip to
help direct the water stream into the ear. Almost all use a single jet
stream that can injure the delicate eardrum so one must be careful with
it's use.
Benefits of the WaxBgone kit
The waxBgone kit uses the patented SoftSpray irrigation tip that
provides a high volume 7-stream gentle shower-like spray that safely
flushes wax from the ear. Even though the waxBgone system produces
4X the water volume and pressure as its competitors, the SoftSpray
irrigation tip allows for pressure control and protects the eardrum from
injury and makes flushing many times more effective, safe and
successful.
The waxBgone performance output trigger sprayer is also very special. It
generates 3.5ml of water per stroke while the competitors average less
than 1ml. No sprayer has a higher output. This increased volume and
pressure is divided into 7 streams to safely and efficiently remove even
the most stubborn earwax.
Conclusion
In conclusion, water volume and pressure are crucial factors in the
effectiveness and safety of ear irrigation for earwax removal but it must
be controlled. The waxBgone system allows for that control.
