What is ear wax?
Ear wax, or cerumen, is a yellowish waxy substance produced by the ceruminous glands in the ear canal. It acts as a natural cleaner and protects the ear from dust, dirt, and other foreign particles that could damage the eardrum. Ear wax also maintains the ear canal’s moisture balance. While excessive build-up can cause discomfort and hearing loss, normal amounts of ear wax are healthy and beneficial for the ear’s well-being.
Causes of excessive ear wax production
When the ear canal produces an excessive amount of cerumen, it can lead to blockages and uncomfortable symptoms like hearing loss, pain, tinnitus, and itching. Common causes of this overproduction include genetics, aging, use of hearing aids, blockages from foreign objects, and skin conditions like eczema or dermatitis.
What are the reasons for overproduction of ear wax?
- Genetics: Some individuals may be genetically predisposed to producing more ear wax than others.
- Aging: As a person ages, they may produce more ear wax.
- Use of hearing aids: The use of hearing aids can increase ear wax production as they may trap it in the ear canal.
- Skin conditions: Skin conditions such as eczema or dermatitis can cause an increase in ear wax production.
- Ear canal blockages: Foreign objects, such as cotton swabs or earplugs, can cause wax to accumulate and lead to ear canal blockages.
Ear syringing Bexley
Ear syringing or ear irrigation is a technique for clearing earwax with a water-based solution. However, the popularity of ear syringing has decreased in recent years because of doubts about its effectiveness and safety. Some clinics avoid providing ear syringing because it can be hazardous if performed improperly and may push the earwax deeper into the ear canal, worsening the problem. Moreover, a safer and more reliable technique for removing earwax, called Microsuction by a healthcare professional, is now available.
Ear candling in Bexley
At our ear clinic, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our patients. Therefore, we do not offer ear candling as a method for removing ear wax due to its controversial and unproven nature. In addition, ear candling can be risky and result in severe damage to the ear if not executed correctly. Instead, we utilize a secure and efficient approach such as Ear Microsuction for ear wax removal.
