Ear Wax Removal

Understanding Earwax

Earwax, is a natural substance produced by glands in the outer ear canal. Its primary function is to protect, clean, and lubricate the ear, trapping dust, dirt, and other particles to prevent them from reaching deeper into the ear canal. Is it also this precise reason why we don't recommend disturbing this environment with cotton buds or sticking anything foreign down the ear without professional supervision. Earwax is made up of a mixture of dead skin cells and sweat glands within the ear canal. Typically, the body naturally pushes old earwax out of the ear as new wax forms, and movements like chewing or talking aid in this process. However, an excessive buildup can lead to blockages, causing discomfort, decreased hearing, or even infection.

Why choose Buchanan Audiologists for effective and safe earwax removal

Your consultation with Buchanan Audiologists means that you are seen by a qualified Audiologist for earwax removal who are trained to assess ear health, identify wax buildup and determine the most effective removal technique based on individual needs. This professional approach minimizes the risk of injury, such as puncturing the eardrum or causing infection, which can happen when using at-home remedies or untrained providers. Additionally, with their specialist training in ear health, our Audiologists will thoroughly examine the ear canal and eardrum to ensure there are no underlying issues, such as infections, inflammation or other conditions that may be masked by earwax buildup. This comprehensive care ensures that your ears are both clean and in optimal health, making our professional treatment the safest choice.
