What Is Earwax?

Designed to clean dirt, fungus, bacteria, and other debris from your ear canal as well as lubricate your ears, earwax is nature’s way of keeping your ears healthy.

The sticky, wax-like oil known as cerumen is important to your overall health, which means it is necessary to maintain a delicate balance between having enough earwax and having too much.

What Causes Earwax Buildup and Impacted Earwax?

Narrow ear canals, loss of elasticity from aging, living/working in dusty environments, and hearing aid use are all common causes for excessive earwax buildup, but the most common cause of impacted earwax is the use of cotton swabs while you attempt to clean out your own earwax.

Whenever you use a cotton swab or some other long, thin tube (we shudder to think of what that might be), you are more apt to push the earwax deeper into your ear canal and pack it in tighter rather than removing it. While you’re digging around in there, you also run the risk of rupturing or damaging your eardrum.

Professional Earwax Removal and Earwax Extraction in North Texas

Our earwax removal specialists have the expertise, experience, and equipment to deal with your earwax the right way, allowing your ears to have enough earwax to stay healthy without upsetting nature’s delicate balance.

Not only does our specialist have a better view of your ear when dealing with your earwax issues, but we also have special training in various earwax removal and earwax extraction techniques and have the right equipment to ensure safe removal. In addition, when earwax production is an ongoing issue, we can recommend proven products designed to reduce earwax without interrupting or upsetting the delicate balance of earwax production.

Rather than digging and scraping around in your ear with a curette (a long, thin instrument with a wire loop), irrigation is the primary method of earwax removal used in our clinic. Irrigation involves our specialist introducing warm water into your ear in order to soften the earwax and help flush it out.

In most cases, irrigation is enough, but when we have to use a curette to fish out stubborn earwax, our vantage point allows us to perform the task with the least amount of discomfort to you and without the risk of doing damage to your ear canal and/or eardrum.

Quick Relief For Earwax Buildup

If you can’t get to Denton Hearing Health Care right away, but need some quick relief from impacted earwax, you can follow these steps:

⚠️ Important Safety Notice

Do not put any liquid or oil in your ears if you have a suspected perforated eardrum or any signs of infection (such as pain, discharge, or hearing loss).
If you are unsure, please contact us or seek professional medical advice before applying anything to your ear.

Place 2-3 drops of plain medicated olive oil in one ear.

Lie sideways for approximately five minutes to allow for the oil to “sit and soak.”

Wipe any excess oil from the outside of your ear with a soft cloth.

Repeat on your other ear.

Continue this treatment for 3-4 days. We’re Here for the Long Haul

  • Great people, easy to work with and easily available. I’m glad I got my hearing aids and that I was patient enough to get accustomed to them. I very seldom have to ask people, especially my grands, to repeat themselves anymore.
