Wax Removal | Cerumen Management
Blocked ears can be annoying and uncomfortable, especially when they affect hearing. This often happens because of a buildup of ear wax. While ear wax is normal, sometimes it accumulates too much and causes problems. Ear wax removal is a safe and simple procedure to help you feel better and restore clear hearing.
At BuzzEars, we understand how unsettling it can be when your ears don’t feel right. For this reason, we provide skilled ear wax removal procedures tailored to your requirements. We employ precise and delicate techniques to ensure maximum comfort during the treatment, regardless of the accumulation size or obstruction.
We frequently employ microsuction, a well-liked method for delicately and successfully removing extra wax. Sensitive ears benefit significantly from microsuction because it is rapid, non-invasive, and requires no liquids. By keeping your ears healthy and clear, routine ear wax removal can also help avoid issues like tinnitus, vertigo, and ear infections.
Everyone deserves to hear clearly and without discomfort. Let us help you feel better and hear better with our caring and professional ear care services.
Our Gentle Approach to Ear Wax Removal
Our process is designed to ensure your comfort and safety at every step, and we tailor our methods to meet your individual needs. Here’s how we handle ear wax removal:
Initial Consultation:
We’ll thoroughly examine your ears before we start. This will help us understand the degree of wax accumulation and any symptoms you may be feeling. We will also talk about your medical history and any concerns to determine the best course of action for you.
Selecting the Right Method:
- Microsuction: This is the method we employ the most frequently. It entails removing wax with a tiny, delicate suction tool. It is appropriate for most patients because it is rapid, accurate, and doesn’t require water or other fluids.
- Softeners: We may advise using ear wax softeners before removing the wax. These delicate drops aid in softening and dissolving the wax, making removal safer and easier. Patients with hard or impacted wax benefit most from softeners since they make the removal process more comfortable. Because softeners release the wax and lessen irritation, they might also enhance the outcomes of manual removal and microsuction.
- Manual Removal: If the wax is very hard or impacted, we may use manual removal with special tools like curettes. This process requires a lot of precision, and our audiologists are highly trained to do it with care. Softeners can make manual removal more smoothly, ensuring the wax is safely and effectively cleared.
Post-Procedure Care:
After the wax is removed, we’ll give you tips on maintaining your ears’ health and preventing further blockages. This could include advice on using ear drops properly, scheduling follow-up appointments if needed, and general ear cleanliness.
