The eardrum must be intact! No tubes, no inflammation (!), A hole (it should have time reingeguckt an ENT and have said that everything is ok). Even the ear canal should be unattractive!
Now gehts los:
The water must be "baby warm" his (test with the wrist) and it must be clear (soap brings no quicker success and power, if it is not rinsed properly potentially problems) raise syringe and now going on (A MUST go read to the end !! )
Ear upward pull back (this is directed to the ear canal and the cerumen can be distributed more efficiently and run off) Now the eardrum is only one Zerumenschicht protected, so to speak defenseless before us. We consider it not it, but the water jet is slight pressure (!) Directed towards the rear auditory canal (the syringe is not plugged into your ear! It does not affect the ear.) !! Never hold onto the ear drum and press never too hard, otherwise it may perforate (yes, that make some of the sisters even wrong) When it hurts either the water temperature is incorrect, shot at the eardrum or the ear canal irritated / inflamed. In the latter case, you should stop immediately and go to the ENT, an otitis externa can be mean.
In keeping eardrum does not help because the water jet eintrömende the cerumen prevents it from flowing out, the goal is to arouse the mental image to back flush the cerumen and carry out. The cerumen takes when flushing (and showering, swimming ....) water and swells, so it is sometimes worse first. But because it is so broken up and comes out better. Depending on the condition you have to wash pretty often. And nice patiently stay! It is already out!
So please protects your eardrums! And disinfect not forget!
Anyone who is unsure, should go to the doctor. If it hurts goes to the doctor. And when you have the feeling there is nothing, then goes to the doctor!
