What is Ear Wax Removal?

Most people right now are unaware of how earwax helps us in our everyday lives. Still, it can be dangerous once it starts building up excess wax that can cause eardrum blockage, loss of hearing, and many ear complications. You'll learn more as you read through the entire article.

It is also called "Ear irrigation." It cleans the ears to remove earwax build-ups and involves inserting a special liquid into the ears of the patient to flush out the excess earwax that is building up inside.  

The medical terminology for earwax is "Cerumen." Producing earwax is entirely normal and natural to all human beings. However, if allowed to build up over time, the build-ups of earwax may cause harm to a person; this is because it can become impacted and block the ear canal, affecting someone's hearing. Unfortunately, there is no proven evidence to prevent earwax build-up in our ears. Still, most medical doctors advise that we should not use cotton buds or insert any object inside our ears.

Another type of earwax removal is called "Microsuction," which removes excess earwax where the doctor uses a suction device while looking into the ear of the patient. The doctor will look inside using a binocular microscope, which allows them to see the ear canal, making it easier to remove the earwax with a low-pressure suction device.
