Are you having problems with your hearing? Ear syringing is a safe and effective way to effect wax removal. If you’ve noticed:
- a feeling of fullness or blockage in your ears
- reduced hearing or muffled sounds
- earache, ringing, or discomfort
- dizziness or balance issues
It might be time to have your ear wax removed to get the relief you need.
Ear syringing, or ear irrigation, is a safe, effective procedure that removes excess earwax build up from your ear canal. Our qualified audiologists perform these treatments to clear blockages and restore your hearing. We can then we talk about your ear health and look at the best way for ongoing ear care based on your individual needs.
What Happens During Ear Syringing?
When you visit us for ear syringing, we’ll start by asking you about your symptoms and a bit about your medical history. Next we’ll examine your ears using a video endoscope to check the extent of the wax build up. At the same time we can ensure there are no other issues, such as infections or perforations.
If microsuction is not appropriate we will use modern ear irrigation equipment for the procedure. We gently flush warm water into your ear canal to dislodge and remove the earwax. This process is usually quick and painless, though you may feel slight pressure or hear some noise as the water flows through your ear.
Why professional wax removal matters
Professional ear syringing can be crucial for maintaining your ear health safely. If you try to remove earwax yourself with cotton buds or other objects, you risk pushing the wax deeper or damaging your ear canal. By coming to us, you ensure the procedure is done safely and effectively.
Most people only need ear wax removal when they notice symptoms of blockage. However, if you produce excess earwax naturally, wear hearing aids, or have narrow ear canals, you may benefit from regular appointments.
