Earwax, or cerumen, works to clean our ears and keep the delicate inner ear and eardrum safe from incoming debris or dead skin. Earwax can sometimes build up in our ear canals, leading to impaction that can cause muffled hearing, struggles with balance, earaches, and more.

If you’re dealing with sudden hearing loss, dizziness, or ear/headaches, impacted earwax could be to blame. With a professional cleaning by a hearing care expert, you can see lasting relief.

What Is Impacted Earwax?

Earwax is a naturally made substance in our ears to protect and clean them; it’s waxy and a little oily, to catch dead skin and debris that makes it into our ears. It usually makes its own way out of our ears as we chew or talk or move our jaws, falling out of our ears naturally.

However, sometimes earwax can build up or get stuck in our ears and become impacted, which means it blocks the ear canal partially or entirely. This can lead to itchiness in the ear, earaches, muffled or loss of hearing, dizziness, and more.

Why Professional Ear Cleaning Is Better

Of course, when we feel that our ears need a cleaning, we reach for cotton swabs at home. Cotton swabs can cause more harm than good: quite often, they’ll push the earwax deeper into the ear canal, causing further impaction and irritation.

Some things are best left to the professionals. Earwax removal and professional ear cleaning by expert audiologists is the best way to keep your ears clean and your hearing healthy.

With a professional’s eye, your ears will be fully cleaned and excess earwax removed without causing damage to your ears. There are several at-home methods that can damage your ears or make your earwax impaction worse, but with the positioning of an audiologist cleaning your ears, we’ll be able to see what we’re doing much better than if you were trying to look in a mirror and do it.
