Why have earwax removed by a doctor
- Eardrum safety — cotton buds and ear candles can perforate the eardrum and push wax deeper into the canal
- Direct visualisation — otoscopy allows the doctor to see exactly where the wax is, whether there is infection, or signs of perforation
- Method adapted to wax consistency — microsuction for dry wax, curettes for impacted wax, controlled irrigation in selected cases
- Hearing assessment — many symptoms blamed on "blocked ear" have other causes (otitis, eustachian tube dysfunction, sensorineural hearing loss)
When to seek professional ear cleaning
- Sensation of blocked ear, especially after showering or swimming
- Sudden or progressive hearing loss
- Persistent itching in the ear canal
- Recent onset tinnitus with no identified cause
- Ear pain associated with a feeling of pressure
- Before using hearing aids, earplugs or in-ear devices
How the procedure is performed
- Initial otoscopy to check the canal, the amount and type of wax, and the state of the eardrum
- Choice of method (microsuction, curette, controlled irrigation)
- Progressive removal under continuous observation
- Final otoscopy to confirm full cleaning and eardrum integrity
- Clinical hearing assessment and individualised prevention plan
