Ear Wax Removing
How Does Ear Wax Build Up?
Ear wax, or cerumen, is a natural substance produced by glands in the ear canal to protect and clean your ears. It traps dust, debris, and microorganisms, preventing them from reaching the eardrum. Normally, ear wax works its way out of the ear naturally. However, in some cases, it can build up and cause blockages.
Common causes of ear wax build-up include:
- Use of cotton buds or other objects in the ear canal
- Wearing hearing aids or earplugs frequently
- Narrow or curved ear canals
- Overproduction of wax
Different Ways to Clean/Remove Ear Wax
- Microsuction
A modern, gentle technique using a small suction device and a microscope to precisely remove wax without water. This is often the preferred method for being quick, clean, and well-tolerated. - Ear Irrigation
A controlled, warm water flush that helps dislodge and rinse out excess wax. This method is suitable for patients without a perforated eardrum or active ear infections. - Ear Manual Removal
Our experienced doctors may also use special instruments under magnification to safely remove wax, especially when it’s dry or impacted.
