What is Ear Wax?
Ear wax is a natural substance produced by the ear canal to protect the ear from infection and dust. It is made up of dead skin cells, oil, and sweat. It’s there to protect your ears from dirt and germs.
Regularly using ear wax softening eardrops containing olive oil or sodium bicarbonate will help soften earwax build-up.
Symptoms of ear wax build up
- Hearing loss
- Earache
- Feeling that your ears are blocked
- Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- Vertigo (dizziness)
What to Expect During Your Visit
Preparation Before Appointment (Suggestion)
Use ear wax softening drops 2-4 times daily for 5 days before your appointment. Avoid using cotton buds or inserting anything into your ears.
Initial Examination
Our specialist will examine your ears with an otoscope to assess the wax buildup and determine the best removal method.
The Procedure
Using microsuction or irrigation, we’ll gently remove the wax buildup. The procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Should I remove ear wax?
Your body naturally cleans your ears for you, so no routine maintenance is required. However, if your body produces too much earwax, it might impact your hearing. If this happens, it’s important to get it checked right away to prevent further issues to your health.
How often should I remove ear wax?
There isn’t a set recommended frequency for earwax removal, as it depends on each individual case. Some people don’t require earwax removal very often, whereas others produce vast amounts of earwax at a faster rate.
What happens if ear wax is not removed?
If excess ear wax is not removed, it can lead to a build-up of impacted earwax. This can cause symptoms including ear pain, a ‘full ear’ sensation, or even a cough.
Is ear wax removal painful?
Professional ear cleaning is quick and painless. Your ears will be cleaned throughout the operation, and an audiologist will use safe and efficient methods and equipment to break down and remove the hardened wax. You’ll hardly feel anything at all.
Are there any side effects?
Some patients may experience temporary dizziness. There’s a very small risk of infection or minor damage to the ear canal, which is why it’s important to follow all aftercare instructions provided by our specialists.
