Ear Cleaning
Safe & Effective Removal of Earwax and Debris
Ear cleaning is an essential procedure to maintain ear health and prevent discomfort caused by excessive earwax buildup. While the ears naturally clean themselves, some individuals may experience blockages that require professional cleaning by an ENT specialist.
Why is Ear Cleaning Important?
- Prevents hearing loss due to wax buildup
- Reduces the risk of ear infections
- Helps with ear pain, itching, or a feeling of fullness
- Improves overall ear hygiene and comfort
Common Causes of Earwax Buildup
- Overuse of cotton swabs, which push wax deeper
- Use of earplugs, hearing aids, or earbuds
- Narrow ear canals, making self-cleaning difficult
- Excessive wax production due to genetics
Signs You Need Professional Ear Cleaning
- Blocked or muffled hearing
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Dizziness or balance issues
- Persistent ear pain or pressure
- Frequent ear infections
