A gentle and effective approach to supporting ear cleanliness and comfort.
Service Description
A Historical Perspective on Earwax Removal In the U.S., ear picks date back to the 16th century, often crafted from brass or ivory and even worn as accessories. These tools were used to manually remove earwax. Over time, various objects, such as bobby pins and paperclips, have been used for ear cleaning. In Chinese tradition, regular ear care is considered one of the three essential practices—along with bathing and foot massage—believed to promote longevity. The Evolution of Ear Syringing In 1821, French otologist Itard pioneered the use of an ear syringe, adapting the enema syringe for earwax removal. Today, for safety reasons, metal syringes have been replaced by ear irrigator pumps with controlled pressure settings, ensuring a gentler and more regulated experience. Potential Benefits Supports ear cleanliness and comfort. May enhance auditory clarity by helping to remove excessive earwax.
