Ear wax, also known as cerumen, is a naturally occurring substance that helps protect the ear canal. Ear wax helps protect the ear canal by trapping dust, debris, and bacteria. However, when ear wax accumulates in large amounts, it can cause blockages, leading to discomfort, hearing loss, and other complications.
​
Maintain Clear Hearing: Regular ear cleaning helps to ensure clear hearing. Excessive ear wax can obstruct the ear canal, blocking sound waves and affecting your ability to hear properly. By removing excess wax, you can maintain optimal hearing function.
​
Reducing the Risk of Infections: Cleaning your ears can help reduce the risk of ear infections. When ear wax builds up and becomes impacted, it can create a moist environment that promotes the growth of bacteria and fungi. This increases the likelihood of developing infections, such as otitis externa (swimmer's ear) or middle ear infections.
Preventing Itching and Discomfort: Accumulated ear wax can cause itching and discomfort in the ear canal. Cleaning the ears helps alleviate these symptoms and provides relief from any irritation caused by wax buildup.
Promoting Overall Ear Health: Regular ear cleaning is part of a comprehensive approach to maintaining overall ear health. By keeping your ears clean, you contribute to the prevention of various ear conditions and ensure that your ears function optimally.
It's important to note that while cleaning your ears is beneficial, it should be done with caution. Inserting objects like cotton swabs or other small items into the ear canal can push the wax deeper, potentially causing injury or damage.
It is only recommended you seek professional assistance or use safe methods like micro suction or ear syringing to clean your ears effectively and safely - we are professionally qualified in both methods: micro suction and ear syringing.

What Are the Symptoms of Ear Wax?
Ear wax build-up, also known as impacted ear wax, can lead to various symptoms. Here are some common signs that may indicate the presence of excessive ear wax:
​
Earache: A feeling of pain or discomfort in the ear, ranging from mild to severe, can occur when ear wax becomes impacted. The earache may be persistent or intermittent.
​​​
Decreased Hearing or Hearing Loss: Excessive ear wax can block the ear canal, leading to decreased hearing or temporary hearing loss. Sounds may seem muffled or distant.
​
Tinnitus: Tinnitus refers to the perception of ringing, buzzing, hissing, or other similar sounds in the ear without any external source. Impacted ear wax can sometimes contribute to the development or exacerbation of tinnitus.
Feeling of Fullness or Blockage: Individuals with excessive ear wax often describe a sensation of fullness or blockage in the affected ear. It may feel like something is blocking the ear canal.
​
Itching or Discomfort: Impacted ear wax can cause itching or discomfort in the ear canal. This may be accompanied by a sensation of pressure or irritation.
Dizziness or Vertigo: In some cases, impacted ear wax can affect the balance organs in the inner ear, leading to symptoms of dizziness or vertigo. This can result in a feeling of spinning or unsteadiness.
Coughing: Rarely, impacted ear wax can stimulate the branch of the vagus nerve that supplies the ear canal, leading to a persistent cough.
​
It's important to note that these symptoms can also be associated with other ear conditions, so a proper evaluation by our onsite audiologist is necessary to determine the cause. If you experience any of these symptoms or suspect ear wax build-up, it is recommended you drop in or book an appointment.
How do we remove Ear Wax at Hear Pure?
PATIENT NOTICE
Prior to your appointment
In some cases, it could take more than one attempt to remove your earwax build-up. Before your appointment, you should prepare by softening the ear wax, to make your treatment as comfortable and effective as possible.
If you have booked a micro suction appointment, we would recommend you use Earol or Pure Olive Oil, which are both available from the chemist and can be used to soften ear wax prior to treatment. If you wear hearing aids, avoid wearing them after you put olive oil in your ears, as you could damage your hearing aids (and this may not be covered by your warranty).
Please note, if you have used any drops in your ear containing hydrogen peroxide or bicarbonate of soda, then you might need to use our irrigation service rather than micro suction.
