Earwax Removal

What is earwax?
Earwax is a natural substance produced by the oil glands in the ear canal. Earwax is healthy and plays an important role in ear health by:
- Trapping dirt and debris to prevent them from reaching the eardrum
- Repelling water and protecting the ear canal from excess moisture
- Inhibiting bacterial and fungal growth to reduce the risk of infections
- Lubricating the ear canal to keep it from becoming dry or irritated
Normally, earwax moves out of the ear naturally, carrying trapped particles with it. However, excessive buildup can lead to blockages, hearing difficulties, or discomfort, requiring professional removal.
Earwax Removal Techniques:
- Removal by Curette
- Removal by Suction
- Removal by Irrigation
If the audiologist is unable to safely remove the earwax or suspects that there is an active infection, referral to an Ears, Nose and Throat (ENT) physician is necessary.
