Ear Irrigation Treatment
The treatment for ear wax build-up can involve various methods, including ear irrigation, microsuction, and the use of ear drops.
Here are some specific aspects related to ear wax treatment:
Causes
Earwax build-up can occur due to factors such as narrow or damaged ear canals, excessive earwax production, lots of hair in the ear canals, or the use of objects that push the wax further into the ear canal, like cotton buds or hearing aids
Symptoms
Symptoms of ear wax build-up can include earache, hearing loss, tinnitus, itchiness, vertigo, and ear infections
Prevention
To prevent ear wax build-up, one can use ear drops to soften the wax, avoid inserting objects into the ear canal, and refrain from using ear candling or ear vacuums, as they can be harmful
It's important to note that if pharmacy treatments or self-care measures don't work, it's advisable to contact us Ear- Clear Clinic for professional for further advice and treatment.
Ear Wax Buildup What to Watch For
Ear wax, also known as cerumen, is produced by glands in the ear canal. It serves the important functions of lubricating the ear canal, trapping dirt and debris, and protecting the eardrum from damage.
In normal amounts, ear wax is expelled naturally and causes no issues. However, sometimes wax can build up and harden, leading to a blockage in the ear canal. This buildup of excess wax can cause the following symptoms:
-
Feeling of fullness or blocked ears
-
Partial deafness, like you have ear plugs in
-
Itching or irritation in the ears
-
Tinnitus (ringing/buzzing sounds)
-
Coughing or gagging sensation
-
Dizziness
-
Ear ache or pain
-
Drainage or discharge from the ear
See Our GP or book an appointment with an audiologist if you suspect a wax blockage. They can examine your ears and safely remove the built-up wax. This provides immediate relief in most cases. Regular ear wax removal may be recommended to prevent reoccurring buildup.
Let your doctor know if ear wax buildup is an ongoing problem for you. Thick wax that blocks the ear canal can sometimes be a symptom of an underlying condition, like eczema of the ear canal skin. Proper treatment is needed to manage the condition and prevent problematic wax blockages from developing.

FAQs
Some people are prone to produce too much earwax. Still, excess wax doesn’t automatically lead to blockage. In fact, the most common cause of earwax blockage is at-home removal.
Using cotton swabs, bobby pins, or other objects in your ear canal can also push wax deeper, creating a blockage.
Signs and symptoms of earwax blockage may include:
- Earache
- Feeling of fullness in the affected ear
- Ringing or noises in the ear (tinnitus)
- Decreased hearing in the affected ear
- Dizziness
- Cough
