FAQ
Does removing earwax hurt? It absolutely should not! There are rare times when wax is deeply impacted, but simply using drops to help soften the wax helps eliminate the pain that may be caused. Very few patients need this, the majority of our patients simply have ear wax that is easily removed.
Is earwax (cerumen) bad, and should I remove it? No, earwax is natural and important! It protects your ear canal from dirt, bacteria, and water. In most people, the wax naturally moves out of the ear on its own. You only need professional removal if the wax is impacted (blocked) and causing symptoms like hearing loss, discomfort, or dizziness.
Should I clean my ears with cotton swabs (Q-tips)? No. What's the quickest way to see Mandi cringe? Tell her you use Qtips! It's a huge no-no! You should never insert cotton swabs or any object into your ear canal. This often pushes wax deeper, which can cause impaction, damage the delicate skin of the ear canal, or even puncture the eardrum. Use a damp washcloth to wipe the outer ear only. Our gentle ear wax removal is perfect for those with wax!
What are the signs of excessive or impacted earwax? The most common signs are a feeling of fullness in the ear, decreased hearing, earache or discomfort, tinnitus (ringing), or a cough caused by the wax stimulating nerves in the ear canal.
How is professional ear wax removal performed? At Audiology Services and Hearing Aids we use safe and gentle methods to remove impacted earwax. We have an "ear camera" to show you where the wax is and how much there is, and then we gently remove it WITHOUT the use of water. A gentle tool or a light suction removes the wax pain free.
