When we’re dealing with cerumen, or earwax, buildup, our first instinct might be to reach into the bathroom cabinet for a cotton swab to swipe it out. We’re probably not the first to tell you that’s not the safest method for your ears – cotton swabs can do more damage than good for your eardrums.
While there are several methods to remove earwax at home, like using mineral drops or warm water, if you’re dealing with a more serious buildup of wax, it might be time to seek out a professional ear cleaning.
For earwax removal in Vancouver, BC, you’re in the right place. Our walk-in earwax removal clinic can see you for a quick ear cleaning, allowing you to get back to hearing the life you love without delay.
What Are the Symptoms of Earwax Blockage?
A buildup or impaction of earwax can cause a feeling of itchiness or stuffiness in your ears, similar to how colds or ear infections feel. However, earwax impaction can also cause balance issues and dizziness, headaches, and worsened hearing aid performance if you wear hearing aids.
If you’ve tried the safe methods of removing your earwax at home and found no relief, please be sure to make an appointment with us to remove the earwax professionally.
What Happens During a Professional Earwax Removal Appointment?
Everyone has earwax, and some have more than others – there’s no shame in it. Earwax is an integral part of keeping our ears healthy and clear of debris, as it helps protect the delicate eardrum and inner ear from harm, catches dead skin cells and dust, and typically removes itself as we talk or chew.
For those who produce excess earwax, without regular cleaning the wax can get impacted and cause temporary hearing loss. With an earwax removal appointment, you can remove that impaction and get back to hearing as planned.
Your earwax removal appointment will start with a quick chat about you, to see if excess earwax production is a medical issue to keep tabs on. We’ll also have a look inside your ears to see the level of impaction and if your ears are infected or inflamed, causing the blockage.
Removing the wax is safe, painless, and, for some, intensely relieving! With our Earigator devices, we will gently flush your ears with warm water, softening and removing the earwax without inserting anything dangerous into your ear. For stubborn impactions, our curettes will gently pull the earwax free.
If after your earwax removal you’re struggling with hearing, we’re happy to book you in for a comprehensive hearing test to see what your ears need to help enhance your hearing.
