Earwax Removal

Earwax, or cerumen, is naturally produced by the glands in the ears to lubricate the ear canals and keep dust and debris from getting too far down in the ear canal. Normally, earwax clears itself from the ears, but in some instances, it can accumulate and cause a blockage. This is especially common if you wear earmolds or hearing aids.

Symptoms of Earwax Blockage

If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may have an earwax blockage:

• Earache
• Tinnitus (ringing of the ears)
• Decreased hearing
• Feeling of ear fullness
• Dizziness

If a blockage occurs, it may need to be removed. At Nova Audiology, we offer professional earwax removal services in the comfort of your own home, depending on the size and severity of the blockage.

Professional Earwax Removal

Earwax removal methods such as cotton swabs can sometimes cause more problems as they may push the blockage further down into the ear canal, risking even more damage to the ear. Cotton swabs themselves can also be accidentally inserted too far into the ear canal and can compact wax further or puncture your eardrum.

At Nova Audiology, our professionals use safe and effective methods to remove earwax. These methods include irrigation, curettes and suction. Irrigation is the most common method, which may involve the use of stronger earwax removal medications.
