Earwax Removal

Earwax plays an essential role in keeping your ears clean. It naturally clears out dirt and debris by gradually moving out of the ear canal on its own. However, there are times when earwax can become compacted against the eardrum or fully block the ear canal, leading to issues like tinnitus or a ringing sensation. In some cases, resolving hearing loss can be as simple as removing the excess earwax.

While it might be tempting to use a cotton swab to clear earwax, it’s best to avoid it. Cotton swabs can push earwax further in, making the problem worse. Instead, try using ear drops, available at most drugstores or supermarkets. These drops soften the wax, helping it naturally wash out during your next shower or bath.

If your ears still feel clogged after trying this or if hearing loss persists, it could be a sign of a deeper issue. Don’t hesitate to reach out for an evaluation.
