Understanding Ear Wax
Increasing your understanding of ear wax is essential for those considering ear wax removal at our Auckland clinic.
Ear wax is a natural and essential part of the ear's self-cleaning mechanism. Ear wax is produced by the ear to clean and protect itself. It is secreted by glands in the skin that line the outer half of your ear canals. The wax and tiny hairs in these passages trap dust and other foreign particles that may cause damage to inner structures (such as your eardrum).
Signs of Ear Wax Build-Up
While ear wax is a vital component of ear health, some individuals may experience overproduction, leading to discomfort and various symptoms such as ear pain, dullness, hearing loss, fullness, itchiness, infection, dizziness, and ringing in the ear (tinnitus).
Experience Safe and Effective Ear Cleaning in Auckland with Our Advanced Ear Microsuction Solution.
For a safe and secure ear cleaning solution in Auckland, we highly recommend ear microsuction. Widely acknowledged as the gold standard for ear wax removal by medical professionals, ear microsuction surpasses traditional methods such as ear syringing.
During your appointment, our experienced audiologists will conduct a thorough examination of your ears. The ear wax removal process will be tailored to your unique medical history and the specific nature of the ear wax present.
Our ear cleaning methods for ear wax removal in Auckland include:
-
Ear Microsuction: Utilising a gentle ear suction (vacuum), we effectively clear debris or wax from the ear canal. This procedure is performed under magnifying loupes for precision.
-
Instrumentation: For gentle removal of ear wax close to the ear canal entrance, this method may be used. The instruments are carefully inserted into the ear canal to clear the debris or wax while being viewed closely through magnifying loupes.
Occasionally, if the wax is impacted (stuck to the walls of the canal), almond oil or saline will be used to soften the wax. In some instances, a second follow-up appointment may be necessary if the ear wax is too impacted.
