A nozzle is removably attachable to the main body where the nozzle includes a distal portion adapted for insertion into the ear canal and an internal nozzle lumen in fluid communication with the opening in the main body. The nozzle also includes at least one discharge port in fluid communication with the internal nozzle lumen wherein when pressure is applied to the main body a volume of the cavity decreases and liquid is forced out of the at least one discharge port such that the ear canal can be rinsed.
