Understanding Ear Wax (Cerumen)
Ear wax, also known as cerumen, is a natural substance produced by glands in the ear canal. It plays an essential role in protecting the ears by trapping dust, debris, and microorganisms, helping to prevent infections. While ear wax usually moves out of the ear naturally, a buildup can sometimes occur, Excess ear wax (cerumen) can cause a blocked feeling, ringing in the ears, Pain in the ears, or even temporary hearing loss.
Before Your Ear Wax Removal Appointment
To ensure a smooth and effective procedure, we recommend the following before your visit:
Soften the wax: Use olive oil or over-the-counter ear drops (e.g., Earwax or Otex) in the affected ear(s) once or twice daily for 3–5 days before your appointment. This helps soften the wax, making removal easier and more comfortable.
Avoid using cotton buds: Inserting anything into the ear canal can push the wax further in and cause irritation or damage.
