Why should you have earwax removed professionally?

 

Your body is composed of complex systems that work round the clock to keep your physical condition in order. However, there are instances where professional help is required to correct certain disorders.

For instance, earwax or cerumen is naturally produced by your ears to serve a number of purposes. It is something you hardly notice or think about until it causes some potential problems. For example, when there is a build-up of earwax or when it is impacted, it leads to pain and other ear discomforts. It is best to visit your local Earwax removal clinic for assistance in such situations.

What Causes Earwax to Build Up?

     Ears produce dry or naturally hard earwax, which can also happen as you age.

     Ears have narrow canals

     Ears have bony parts in the outer ear canal

     Frequent use of cotton swabs

     Using ear plugs or hearing aids keeps earwax from falling out naturally

     Scouring of ears with hairpins or paperclips

     Certain health conditions such as eczema, lupus, or swimmer’s ear, also known as external otitis

What are the Risks of Removing Earwax Impaction at Home?

Trying to manually remove an earwax impaction by inserting foreign objects or even cotton swabs can push your earwax further into your ear. This can cause eardrum damage and lead to more complications.

Scratching your ear canal with your fingers can contribute to ear pain and infection. You should not attempt to remove your earwax if you are experiencing the following:

     You are having ear drainage or bleeding

     You have ear pain

     You had ear surgery

     You have an eardrum puncture

Earwax blockage removal is a simple and effective procedure by professionals. However, attempting it at home may lead to serious hearing problems. If you are experiencing any earwax discomfort, it is best to consider private ear syringing services by Intrigue Health.

How Often is Professional Earwax Removal Required?

The frequency for professional earwax removal may vary for each person depending on certain factors which your health care provider will assess. For many, visiting an Earwax Removal Clinic once a year is enough, while some may need twice a year or up to quarterly visits. Get in touch with Intrigue Health to discuss or consult any earwax concerns.
