Earwax Removal in Cornelius, NC
Watch a Video About Our Approach
Earwax Removal is important for maintaining healthy ears and optimal hearing. While earwax (cerumen) is a natural substance that protects the ear canal by trapping dirt and preventing infections, excessive buildup can cause problems.
It may be tempting to reach for a Q-Tip when your ears are feeling clogged, but this can exacerbate the problem or even lead to punctured eardrums. Professional ear cleaning is the safest and most effective option, whether you’re dealing with mild buildup or impacted earwax.
Integral Audiology serves patients in Cornelius, Huntersville, Mooresville, Davidson, and the greater Lake Norman area.
Safe & Effective Earwax Removal Methods
Wax Removal Using the Earigator™
The Earigator™ is a warm water, pressure-regulated irrigation system designed specifically for safe and efficient cerumen removal. This professional ear flushing system’s temperature-controlled flow keeps the ear canal comfortable while quickly clearing soft or impacted wax.

- Helps remove wax quickly, even when deep or compacted
Manual Removal of Earwax
Curette removal is a precise, hands‑on technique that lets your audiologist gently lift and guide wax out of the canal under magnification and illumination. It’s especially useful for dry, flaky, or localized wax that doesn’t respond as well to irrigation.
- Direct, controlled removal with minimal moisture
- Excellent for dry or stubborn wax and for sensitive ears
- Often paired with Earigator™ for a complete, comfortable clean
