Ear Health
What is Ear Wax?
Earwax (also called cerumen) is a natural substance produced by glands in the ear canal. It plays an important role in protecting your ears by trapping dust, dirt, and bacteria, while also keeping the ear canal lubricated. In small amounts, earwax is completely normal and healthy.
Why to Avoid at Home Removal
It may be tempting to try and clear earwax at home, but methods like cotton buds, ear candles, or sharp objects can make things worse. Instead of helping, they often push wax deeper, leading to pain, infections, or injury
Why Does Ear Wax Build up?
For some people, earwax can become a problem when it builds up or hardens. Common reasons include:
Naturally producing more earwax
Narrow or bendy ear canals that trap wax
Wearing hearing aids or earphones regularly
Age-related changes that make wax drier and harder
Benefits of Professional Ear Wax Removal
Having your ears cleaned by a trained professional is the safest way to deal with wax buildup. The benefits include:
A quick, safe, and comfortable procedure
Use of clinically approved techniques such as microsuction or irrigation
Immediate relief from blocked ears and related symptoms
Improved comfort and performance for hearing aid users
Common Symptom of Ear Wax Blockage
A buildup of earwax can cause:
Reduced or muffled hearing
A feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear
Tinnitus (ringing or buzzing sounds)
Earache or discomfort
Dizziness or balance issues
Cough reflex (caused by pressure on the ear canal)
If you notice these symptoms, professional removal can bring quick relief.
