Earwax Removal Treatments
Wax is part of the ears natural cleaning mechanism; it helps to moisturise the skin and protect against bacteria and germs. In a normal, healthy ear, chewing motions and jaw movement help to gradually move wax to the entrance of the ear canal without the need for any treatment. Interfering with this process by inserting foreign objects (like cotton buds) into the ear can cause a blockage and risk injury or infection.
Earwax requires treatment if:
-
You feel a blocked sensation in the ear, earache, a reduction in hearing, tinnitus or dizziness
-
Needing the volume higher than usual
-
Struggling to hear people clearly
-
There is obstruction of the view of the ear canal and eardrum, preventing a complete examination of the ears
-
Asking others to repeat themselves
-
Finding it difficult to focus on conversation
Nexus Ear Solutions offer three different ear wax removal services in Tamworth.
-

Earwax Removal Information.
Our experienced aural care practitioner routinely performs various earwax removal treatments, the most popular being ear wax micro suction. Micro suction is a safe, quick and effective way of removing ear wax. During the procedure a fine suction tube is used to gently remove wax from the ear canal. Unlike ear irrigation, no water is required.
Are there risks involved with wax removal?
As with any procedure there are some risks involved, Nexus Hearing Care staff have undergone specialist training in wax removal to minimise the risk of any harm, however, to make the procedure as safe as possible it is also essential to provide us with accurate medical history information and remain still during the procedure.
What if the wax cannot be removed?
In some cases, it may not be possible to remove all the wax in one visit, particularly if the wax has not been pre-softened with sterile olive oil or an inappropriate wax softening agent has caused the wax to stick to the skin in the ear canal and eardrum. In this case you will be advised to soften the wax with sterile olive oil and another appointment will be booked to complete the procedure.
What if a complication occurs?
Wax blockages can sometimes conceal other ear conditions, if we find evidence of an infection or a previously undiagnosed ear condition or if the wax cannot be safely removed it may be necessary to refer you to another medical professional.
