Understanding Ear Wax
If you reside in Pukekohe and are contemplating ear wax removal, understanding the intricacies of ear wax is a crucial first step.
Ear wax, a vital element in the ear's self-cleaning process, is naturally produced to safeguard and cleanse. Generated by glands within the skin lining the outer portion of your ear canals, this wax, along with microscopic hairs in these passages, serves as a trap for dust and other external particles. This protective mechanism helps prevent potential harm to internal structures, including the delicate eardrum.
Signs of Ear Wax Overproduction
Although ear wax plays a crucial role in maintaining ear health, some individuals may undergo excessive production, resulting in discomfort and a spectrum of symptoms. These may include ear pain, diminished hearing, a sense of fullness, itchiness, susceptibility to infection, bouts of dizziness, and the occurrence of ringing in the ear (tinnitus).
Experience Safe and Effective Ear Cleaning with our Innovative Ear Suction Solution.
For Pukekohe residents seeking professional ear wax removal, you've arrived at the right destination. At Family Hearing Centre in Epsom, we offer a secure and effective solution for ear cleaning, with a special emphasis on the well-being of your ears. Our recommended method, ear microsuction, is widely recognised as the gold standard by medical professionals, surpassing traditional approaches like ear syringing.
When you schedule your ear wax removal appointment with our skilled audiologists at our Epsom clinic, you will receive a comprehensive examination of your ears. The ear wax removal process will be customised to your individual medical history and the specific characteristics of the ear wax in question.
Our approaches to ear cleaning encompass:
Ear Microsuction: Employing a gentle ear suction (vacuum), we skillfully eliminate debris or wax from the ear canal. This procedure is meticulously performed under magnifying loupes for optimal precision.
Instrumentation: This method is utilised for the delicate removal of ear wax near the ear canal entrance. Carefully inserted instruments clear the debris or wax while being closely observed through magnifying loupes.
In situations where the wax is impacted, adhering to the canal walls, we may employ almond oil or saline to soften it. Depending on the severity, a follow-up appointment with our audiologists may be recommended.
