Ear Irrigation and Suctioning
Earwax, or cerumen, is a natural secretion produced by glands in the ear canal that plays a crucial role in protecting and lubricating the ear, as well as keeping dust, dirt, and other debris from reaching the sensitive eardrum. While the presence of earwax is normal and healthy, excessive buildup can lead to discomfort, hearing loss, or the need for a clear view of the eardrum for medical examination. At Dr. Health Medical Clinic, we offer professional earwax removal services using safe and effective irrigation and suctioning techniques.
When is Earwax Removal Needed?
Earwax removal is recommended when:
- Excessive earwax buildup leads to symptoms such as hearing loss, earache, tinnitus, or a sensation of fullness in the ear.
- There is a need to examine the eardrum for diagnostic purposes, and earwax is obstructing the view.
Our Approach: Ear Canal Irrigation and Suctioning
Depending on the individual's condition and the consistency of the earwax, our clinic employs two primary methods for earwax removal:
Ear Canal Irrigation
- A gentle wash that helps to soften and flush out earwax using a controlled stream of warm water.
Suctioning
- A precise method where earwax is carefully suctioned out of the ear canal, ideal for harder or impacted earwax.
Benefits
- Relief from discomfort and symptoms caused by excessive earwax.
- Improved hearing if earwax buildup was affecting auditory perception.
- Safe and thorough cleaning of the ear canal, allowing for accurate medical examinations when necessary.
