Earwax removal services

Since earwax is necessary, you shouldn’t clean it too much; you simply don’t need to. However, you can wipe away any visible excess earwax using a wet cloth. But - do not use cotton swabs!

Cotton swabs are not the best way to clean your ears. They may look soft, but they are made from artificial fibers that can scratch and inflame the sensitive skin inside the ear canal, making it more vulnerable to infection.

If you think you have a blockage in your ear canal or think you are experiencing excessive earwax, then you should consult a hearing care professional to receive specialist cleaning services.

The traditional method for earwax removal that you or your family might have experienced many years ago was “syringing”. This was a high-pressure washing method that could lead to some complications. Today, modern technology has now outdated and replaced this procedure. At HearingLife, we only use the latest technology and clinical protocols to give you the best outcomes. We have never nor will we ever use the ear syringing method because of the issues that might arise.

Home solutions for earwax removal are not recommended. To treat earwax safely, we recommend that you see a healthcare professional who is experienced in removing earwax. The earwax specialist can obtain the case history and then examine the outer ear, the ear canal and the earwax to decide on the best course of treatment in order to safely remove it. Dry micro-suction, irrigation, or special probes can usually be used after a few days (using wax softener).

Symptoms may include: difficulty hearing, a feeling of fullness in the ear, tinnitus, or discomfort in the ear. Have an audiologist or a health care professional examine your ears to confirm if you have earwax build-up.

As we go through life, things can change, including a higher production of earwax. Have a professional advise you on how to better manage earwax build-up.

Earwax removal should never hurt. People should visit a dedicated and experienced earwax removal technician who will help them have the wax removed using the most up-to-date technology. Modern methods for earwax removal only lead to a mild sensation in the ear.

No. Normally it comes out naturally by itself. Never insert anything into the ear canal. However, if there is a wax blockage, have it treated by a professional.

If you experience difficulty hearing, tinnitus, or a sensation of fullness or discomfort in the ear, have an audiologist or other healthcare professional examine your ears.
