Audiologist Lead earwax removal
Ear Wax
The function of earwax is to cleanse the ear canal and prevent foreign particles from entering the ear. Although earwax is typically soft, it can solidify and lea to an obstruction in the ear. Excessive accumulation of earwax can also result in a blockage.
When earwax triggers a clogged ear, other symptoms may include:
• an earache
• ringing in the ears
• muffled hearing
• Dizzines
It is not recommended to use cotton swabs to clean inside the ear as it can lead to blockages. Placing cotton swabs inside the ear can push earwax further into the ear canal.
Why does my ears feel clogged?
Your ear may become blocked due to an accumulation of earwax or exposure to high altitudes. Occasionally, there may be a more severe underlying cause.
Despite the absence of pain or discomfort, a blocked ear can still be bothersome due to the muffled sounds and the effort required to hear properly.
Your ear may naturally clear itself within a few hours or days. However, in more serious instances, it may be necessary to seek assistance from an audiologist for expert care.
As you address a blocked ear, it is beneficial to pinpoint potential reasons for the obstruction. By doing so, you and your audiologist can establish the most effective treatment plan and avoid recurring issues.

Do I need my ears cleaned?
If your hearing is normal, you are not experiencing any discomfort, and your earwax appears yellow, there is no need to be concerned about cleaning your ear canals. However, if you are prone to earwax blockage or notice any
warning signs of excessive wax build-up in one or both ears, it is advisable to seek professional ear cleaning.
Having your ears cleaned by a professional is a safe method to remove wax build-up, especially if you are experiencing symptoms such as itching, irritation, or pain. By doing so, you can ensure that you do not cause any harm to the interior of your ears.
When to contact your Audiologist?
If none of the symptoms mentioned are present, it indicates that your ears are effectively self-cleaning. However, if you are feeling any discomfort or a sense of blockage in your ears, it is crucial to consult with an ear care professional to identify the underlying cause and seek timely treatment. Hence, it is advisable to reach out to an audiologist promptly and arrange for a diagnostic hearing assessment upon noticing any of these concerns.
Ear wax removal techniques
Microsuction: What is microsuction?
Our proficient experts utilise the method of microsuction to effectively eliminate ear wax, prioritising your comfort and safety. By delicately applying gentle suction, we ensure a meticulous removal of ear wax from the ear canal.
The utilisation of a medical suction device in the microsuction process guarantees a thorough and cautious procedure. With our swift and hassle-free approach, we strive to minimise any potential discomfort, ensuring precision throughout the entire process.
Irrigation & Syringing Treatment
Ear irrigation, also known as ear flushing, is a medical technique utilised to eliminate surplus earwax (cerumen) and debris from the ear canal. This procedure entails the delicate infusion of tepid water into the ear with the aid of a specialised irrigation tool.
This method assists in dislodging and rinsing away built-up earwax and foreign substances, ultimately enhancing hearing abilities and easing any discomfort or hearing impairment resulting from obstructions in the ear canal. Here at Stoneygate Hearing Care, our proficient audiologists are equipped to safely extract wax from the ears, thus averting any potential harm.
