What is ear wax?

Wax helps protect our ears from bacteria, dirt and dust. It keeps the ear canal naturally lubricated.

However too much ear wax can impact your hearing.

 

 

How can ear wax be treated?

There are several techniques that may be used to remove wax.  These include micro-suction, irrigation and manual removal or a combination of these techniques.

Our Audiologist will advise you as to the most suitable for you.  The chosen method will be based upon the current health of your ear canals and ear drums, your medical history, the type of ear wax  or debris present, the length of time the wax or debis has been there, how close the wax is to the ear-drum, together with a consideration of your own preferences.

Micro-suction

Our Audiologist will use a gentle micro-suction technique to remove the wax and debris.

During this procedure, the Audiologist will look through a microscope and will suction the ear with a small instrument.

Typically this takes about 30 minutes for both ears.

 

 

 

Irrigation

 

 

 

 

Irrigation typically takes around 15 minutes.  You may be advised to use ear-drops, if the wax is hard and impacted.  We will provide these.

 

Manual removal

Wax may be removed, under  a microscope, with the use of a specailly designed wax hook.  Our Audiologist is very well trained and highly experienced in this technique and this will not cause any discomfort or harm.
