Same-day professional ear wax removal in Haringey

Clogged ears, also referred to as blocked or impacted ears, occur when the ear canal becomes obstructed, making it difficult for sound waves to pass through. This can result from a buildup of earwax, fluid from an ear infection, or other physical blockages. Symptoms may include discomfort, fullness, muffled hearing, and temporary hearing loss. Over-the-counter ear drops, ear irrigation, or manual removal can typically treat the condition. However, chronic or persistent clogging may indicate an underlying health condition that an Audiologist should evaluate. Sharp objects should never be used to remove earwax or any other obstruction, as they may harm the ear canal or eardrum.

Ear syringing is a procedure used to remove earwax from the ear canal by flushing warm water into the ear to loosen and extract the impacted earwax. Although the procedure is typically quick and painless and can offer immediate relief from symptoms such as discomfort, partial hearing loss, or ringing in the ears, it is not recommended for people with perforated eardrums, as the water can cause additional damage. Additionally, ear syringing may not be as effective as other methods, such as microsuction earwax removal, at removing hard or impacted earwax. At Verified Hearing, we prioritize the use of microsuction for earwax removal as it is a safer, more effective and more precise technique that delivers excellent results.
