The Importance of Ear Wax Removal
Understanding ear wax build-up, or cerumen impaction, is essential for maintaining ear health. Ear wax is a natural substance produced by glands in the ear canal. Its primary function is to trap dust, debris, and foreign particles, preventing them from reaching the eardrum. Typically, the wax naturally moves out of the ear, carrying impurities with it. However, in some cases, the wax can accumulate and lead to blockages.
​​
Several factors contribute to ear wax build-up. Individual differences in wax consistency and production, as well as genetics, play a role. Using cotton buds or other objects to clean the ears can push wax deeper into the canal, causing blockages. Additionally, certain medical conditions, such as narrow ear canals or overproduction of wax, can increase the likelihood of impaction. Understanding these factors helps individuals take preventive measures and seek timely intervention when necessary.
​​
Symptoms of ear wax build-up may include earache, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), dizziness, and hearing loss. It's crucial to recognise these signs and consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. Attempting to remove ear wax at home with objects like cotton buds or ear candles can be ineffective and potentially harmful. Healthcare professionals, such as audiologists, can perform safe procedures like microsuction to address ear wax impaction and restore optimal ear function. This is where our Fulham ear wax removal service comes in. Regular check-ups and proper ear hygiene can contribute to preventing excessive wax build-up and maintaining ear health.
