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

How do they do custom ear impressions?

The process begins by placing a dam in the ear canal and then filling the outer ear with the impression material. Once the impression material sets, it is removed, inspected, packaged, and shipped for fabrication.

In place of this traditional approach, many audiologists have turned to earmold impression scanners that use lasers to take your ear impression and then render a mold using 3D software. This technology allows multiple earmolds to be built from a single impression, saving time and costs.

Can I get custom earmolds for the hearing aids I already have?
Yes. Most first-time hearing aid users use the generic domes in the beginning. Once you learn that custom earmolds are more comfortable, provide a more secure fit, and have a better acoustic seal, you might want to invest a little extra into custom earmolds for your hearing aids.
Do you offer custom solutions for protection while swimming?
Yes. Protection against swimmer’s ear and surfer’s ear is improved when you use custom earplugs that provide an improved watertight seal and a more secure fit.
Can I use custom earplugs for sleeping?
Yes. The acoustic seal from custom earplugs for sleeping is far superior to their generic counterparts because of their comfort and secure fit, so you can sleep better.
What is the advantage of custom earmolds?

The main advantages of custom earmolds include:

  • A more secure fit.
  • An improved acoustic/watertight seal.
  • Better frequency response to a full range of sounds.
  • Venting that eliminates reverberation inside your ears.
  • Precision-engineered filters for superior sound quality.
  • Interchangeable filters for a variety of activities.
  • Comfortable wearing all day or all night.
  • Less irritation, thanks to medical-grade silicone construction.
  • A custom fit to each ear.
