Ear Wax FAQ:
Is earwax harmful, and when should it be removed? Earwax (cerumen) protects your ear canal from dirt, bacteria, and moisture and is usually harmless when it clears naturally. Professional removal is only needed when wax becomes impacted and causes symptoms like hearing loss, pressure, discomfort, or dizziness.
Are cotton swabs safe for ear cleaning? No — you should never insert cotton swabs or objects into the ear canal, as these can push wax deeper, cause impaction, and even injure the eardrum. Instead, wipe the outer ear with a damp cloth. If wax buildup is a problem, professional removal is a safe and comfortable option.
What symptoms suggest I have impacted earwax? Signs of impacted wax include a feeling of fullness in the ear, decreased hearing, earache or discomfort, ringing (tinnitus), or even a cough triggered by ear canal nerves. If you’re experiencing these, a professional exam can identify and safely remove the buildup.
How do you remove impacted earwax at your clinic? At Audiology Services and Hearing Aids, we use a small ear camera to show you how much wax is present, then remove it gently without using water. Tools and light suction allow for a comfortable, pain-free experience that many patients describe as much more pleasant than at other clinics.
