Earwax, sometimes referred to as cerumen is a natural barrier that is made by sebaceous and apocrine sweat glands in the ear canal. Its purpose is to clean and protect the ears by trapping dirt and bacteria so they cannot get further inside the ear and create an ear infection. Occasionally, it can become impacted, resulting in blocked ears, ear discomfort, and temporary hearing loss. Earwax vary in colour from bright yellow to dark brown and can be dry or wet and still serve the same purposes.
In addition to blocking sound from reaching your ears, excessive earwax can also trap allergens there. Too much earwax might cause the following symptoms:
Usually ear wax flows out naturally and your Ears self-clean with everyday jaw movement, talking and chewing etc. and comes out unnoticed when you shower or take a bath. There are, however, some basic things you may do if you notice any symptoms of ear wax build-up.
Micro-suction earwax removal, sometimes referred to as ear vacuuming, is the most commonly and preferred method of earwax removal used by ENT Surgeons. It is a non-invasive, safe, and effective method of removing extra ear wax.
Earwax buildup is common: One out of every 20 adults, and more than a third of the elderly and developmentally delayed populations, have excessive or impacted cerumen.
The Good News!
At Hearing Buddy, we use dry, efficient micro suction to remove impacted ear wax under direct observation, relieving your painful symptoms. We offer a mild and safe alternative to standard earwax removal techniques.
Micro-suction earwax removal, sometimes referred to as ear vacuuming, is the most commonly and preferred method of earwax removal used by ENT Surgeons. It is a non-invasive, safe, and effective method of removing extra ear wax. Shaily is a certified professional who has completed a nationally recognised Course in Cerumen Management, which includes micro suctioning, irrigation, and mechanical removal.
Our sessions start with an ear history and symptoms assessment. After that, your ears will be checked to see if removing the earwax is clinically necessary, since not all earwax has to be actively managed. The technique will then be explained to you, and questions will be welcomed.
The process is painless, takes little time, and is completely safe. If your ear wax is exceptionally dry, you will be offered a complimentary follow-up treatment after a predetermined time of "softening" to gently remove it.
Micro-suction is a dry method, meaning no water is used in the process. This protects the eardrum and ear canal from getting wet. Everyone can benefit from this best-practice method, but individuals with a perforated eardrum, diabetes, an impaired immune system, blood-thinning medications, or an active ear infection may find it especially useful.
