Earwax Removal
Is it hearing loss, or just a build-up of earwax?
Earwax buildup in the ear canal can significantly impact your hearing. While earwax typically clears on its own, consult a hearing care professional if you're experiencing symptoms of compacted earwax. Home remedies may be ineffective or unsafe and could worsen the problem.
What is Earwax?
Earwax, medically known as cerumen, is a yellowish-brown waxy substance secreted by specialized glands in the outer ear canal. Far from being waste, earwax serves important functions: it captures dust, dead skin cells, and foreign particles before they can harm your eardrum, provides moisture to prevent dry and itchy ears, and contains natural antimicrobial properties that protect against ear infections.
Signs of Earwax Buildup
1. Hearing Loss or Muffled Hearing
2. Earache or Discomfort
3. Ringing in the Ears (Tinnitus)
4. Dizziness or Balance Issues
5. Itching in the Ear Canal
6. Discharge from the Ear
How Earwax Is Removed
There are several safe and effective ways to remove excess earwax, ranging from ear drops that soften the wax to professional procedures like microsuction or irrigation. Your hearing specialist will recommend the best approach for your specific needs.
- Irrigation (Ear Syringing)
- Microsuction
- Manual Removal (Curettage)
