Earwax Removal
Professional Earwax Removal
What could be worse than a day in paradise that is interrupted by stuffiness, muffled sound, irritation, and pain in your ears? It’s more common than you might think. In fact, many people experiencing stuffiness in their ears and muffled sounds come to us believing that they have lost their hearing only to discover that earwax buildup has blocked the passage of sound through the ear canal.
Earwax production is natural, but when it gets built up and blocks the ear canal, it becomes a problem. Safe and effective earwax removal by a professional allows you to get the relief you need while helping maintain the delicate balance of earwax production.
Earwax Myth-Busting
Use Cotton Swabs to Dig Earwax from Your Ears
Cotton swabs, bobby pins, paperclips, and other objects (we shudder to think what they might be) cause more harm than good. In addition to removing healthy wax and scraping the delicate skin of the ear canal, causing infections, they tend to lead to impacted earwax and increased earwax production.
Earwax Means You Have Poor Ear Hygiene
Earwax is your ears’ natural mechanism for cleaning your ears, providing moisture and lubrication, as well as providing antimicrobial benefits. It is produced by the cells of the ear canal to attract dirt, debris, fungus, bacteria, and other foreign substances that work their way to the openings of your ears while you talk and chew.
Removal of Earwax Should Be a Part of Regular Hygiene
Since your ears produce earwax to clean themselves by attracting foreign substances and gathering them into little balls of earwax, you are actually being counterproductive by removing earwax. The only thing you need to do is wipe them away from the outer ear with a cloth
