Safe & Professional Earwax Removal for Houston’s Ears

Have you been dealing with a sudden hearing loss, feelings of fullness in your ears, muffled sounds, or aching in your ears? A buildup of earwax, or cerumen, may be the cause.

Our ears need earwax to keep the inner ear safe from debris and foreign objects, but too much can cause issues with your hearing and balance.

If you or a loved one have been dealing with a buildup of earwax, you can get the impaction removed with ease with our professional ear cleaning services.

How Does Earwax Clean Your Ears?

Earwax is produced by special glands in the ear canal. It’s sticky and a little oily, so it attracts dirt, debris, dead skin cells, bacteria, and whatever else might be in your ear canal, forming it into a clump that naturally falls out as you talk or chew.

However, some of us produce more earwax than our ears truly need; as a result, it can gather up and lead to hearing and balance issues if it becomes impacted and stuck in your ear.

We need earwax, but not that much of it!

Can I Remove Earwax at Home?

There are multiple methods for removing your earwax at home, but none of them are particularly safe— or even effective. As irresistible as it might be to insert a cotton swab in your ear, we don’t recommend it, as they can cause further impaction or damage to your ear.

Here are four reasons why you should leave your earwax removal to a professional:

#1 - Earwax Removal Is Usually Unnecessary

Your ears produce earwax naturally to protect the inner ear from damage and leaves your ears without needed removal. The only exceptions to this include individuals who produce more than average amounts of earwax, or wear earplugs or hearing aids, which can affect the production of earwax.

#2 – At-Home Earwax Removal May Damage Your Ears

Some of the at-home methods for removing earwax can do more harm than good. By trying to remove earwax with a cotton swab or other tool, you can cause permanent damage to your eardrum or ear canal, or further impact the earwax you’re trying to remove.

#3 - It Could Make Your Issue Worse

Attempting to remove earwax yourself typically makes your earwax buildup problem worse. Rather than moving it out of your ear canal, cotton swabs push clusters of wax together, which plugs your ear and causes pain & pressure.

#4 – Excess Earwax Doesn’t Mean You’re Dirty!

Earwax provides natural moisture for your inner ear, so that the skin in the ear canal doesn’t get too dry. It’s a sign of happy, healthy ears, not uncleanliness!
