Ear wax removal service - A vital aspect of hearing health.
Proper ear wax management is an essential component of maintaining optimal hearing health. As hearing specialists, we understand the significance of this often-overlooked aspect, and we prioritise effective and safe ear wax removal as part of our comprehensive services.
At Fairfield Hearing, we take pride in differentiating our ear wax removal services from others in the field. Our team consists of qualified hearing health practioners with extensive experience in ear care. They are adept at identifying the safest and most effective methods for ear wax removal.
We understand that each individual is unique, and so are their ear care needs. Our patient-centric approach ensures that the ear wax removal process is tailored to your specific requirements.
Understanding ear wax
Ear wax, or cerumen, is a natural substance produced by the ear to protect and lubricate the ear canal. While it typically moves towards the ear opening, where it dries up and falls out, some individuals may experience a build-up that can lead to various issues, including hearing loss.
The impact of excessive ear wax
Excessive ear wax can cause discomfort, leading to hearing loss, earache, itchy ears, or feeling dizzy or sick. And can even lead to tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears). It's crucial to address this issue promptly to prevent complications and ensure optimal ear health.
Professional ear wax removal
Trying to remove excess ear wax yourself can often make things worse. Sticking your finger or a cotton bud into your ear may remove some wax, but you will end up pushing the rest of it further into your ear. You will also be moving the hair cells in the ear and stimulating the body to produce more wax. Excess ear wax removal should be left to the professionals.
Using advanced tools and equipment, we ensure precision and effectiveness in ear wax removal. Our commitment to staying abreast of the latest technologies underscores our dedication to providing high-quality care.
We believe in empowering our clients with knowledge about ear health. Our professionals offer you guidance on preventive measures and the signs of potential ear wax issues, fostering proactive ear care habits.
Whether you're experiencing symptoms of excessive ear wax or seeking preventive care, our team at Fairfield Hearing is here to help.
How we remove earwax
We first examine your ear through a medical-grade microscope. Then, depending on the outcome of a careful procedural questionnaire, we remove the wax either by air suction, water irrigation, or one of several manual techniques.
We take photographs both before and after. Should any medical concerns be noted, we share these with you and will then, with your permission, forward them to your GP, consultant ENT specialist or other appropriate medical professional.
