Flushing your ears doesn't require puncturing a hole in your ear drum. In fact, having your doctor flush your ears, if you don't know how to yourself, is the safest way to clear any accumulated wax buildup - or even foreign objects, like bugs.

The only time an incision would be required is in the presence of serious infection or a condition that warrants it.
