A) Gently irrigate the external auditory canal with warm water.




Cerumen removal can be aided by gentle irrigation of the external auditory canal with warm

water or a hydrogen peroxide and water solution. Avoid the use of cotton-tipped applicators for

cerumen removal, because they can push the cerumen back into the ear canal and cause an

impaction. Hairpins or similar devices should never be used. A forceful stream of solution should

not be used during this procedure because it can cause perforation of the eardrum.
