While ear wax, or cerumen, is not many people’s favourite topic of conversation it is something that we all produce.
A buildup of wax can block up the ear canal and an ear wax removal procedure can assist with hearing issues and other symptoms.
At Blackmore Audiology we provide ear wax removal using micro-suction and instrumentation. This method is safe and effective.
We recommend using a couple of drops of olive oil in each ear for two nights before your appointment to soften any wax. We do not recommend using over the counter wax removal products as they often make the wax more difficult to remove.
Why does ear wax build up:
How can we tell that ear wax is building up?
- You have narrow or hairy ear canals
- You work in a dusty or dirty environment
- You regularly wear hearing aids or use ear plugs
- As we age wax hardens and it moves out of the canal less easily
- comfort and/or a blocked feeling in the ear canal
- Itchy ear canals
- Change in hearing
- Tinnitus (ringing or buzzing sound)
- Dizziness
- Hearing aids sounding dull and/or regularly blocking up with waxh
