What’s Involved in the Earworx Procedure?
We all have earwax – it is a normal and protective bodily substance that is there to protect and lubricate your outer ear canal. Our bodies’ natural processes move earwax out gradually through a migrating skin layer, and through its texture and stickiness, the remaining wax prevents foreign bodies such as insects from entering our ear canal, and also helps to prevent infection.
However, sometimes earwax can build up inside the ear, becoming hard and impacted. When this happens, it can be very uncomfortable, resulting in itching, a blocked up feeling, and even pain.
The Earworx procedure is performed every day around Australia by registered nurses specially trained in the micro-suction technique. When you visit our Wembley clinic, our nurse Desiree Cowton will carefully examine your ears using special glasses, called loupes, that allow her to view inside your ear canal.
If Desiree finds that earwax removal is clinically indicated, she will use microsuction to remove the excess wax. Micro-suction operates like a tiny vacuum. It is a dry technique that uses suction to remove earwax. The procedure takes just 30 minutes and education is provided at the conclusion of the appointment.
This technique is also used by Ear Nose and Throat doctors, and is a dry option your nurse can assess if you have an eardrum perforation.
Symptoms of Excess Earwax
Have you ever experienced that blocked up, uncomfortable sensation of having excess earwax? Impacted wax can cause significant discomfit to the sufferer, resulting in difficulty hearing, ringing in the ears, and even dizziness.
Some people are predisposed to producing excess earwax through genetics, or they may have trouble with impacted earwax due to the narrow shape of their ear canal or excess hair. For other people, earwax build up can be caused by using headphones or wearing hearing aids, using earplugs, swimming or diving regularly, or spending a lot of time in dirty and dusty environments.
Attempting to clean your ears yourself can also cause impacted wax. Using cotton buds can push wax further into the ear canal, making it more difficult to remove. If you do have symptoms of excess wax, don’t try to solve the problem yourself. Book an appointment with us today to have your ears assessed and built-up earwax removed if needed.
