PRE EARWAX REMOVAL
Before your appointment for ear cleaning services to remove wax, please follow these steps to ensure a smooth and effective procedure for optimal ear care:
Use olive oil-based ear drops for 3-5 days prior to your appointment to help soften the wax. Apply 3-5 drops in the ear or ears at least 3 times a day. Allow the drops to soak in for a few minutes by tilting your head or lying down, then gently wipe away any excess oil from the outer ear.
Avoid inserting cotton buds or any other objects into your ears, as this can push wax further into the ear canal, leading to blockages and irritation, which can negatively impact your hearing health.
By following these simple steps, the removal process will be much more comfortable and effective.
EARWAX REMOVAL PROCESS & VIDEO OTOSCOPY
The nature and amount of earwax, along with your medical history, will determine the most appropriate method for ear care and ear cleaning services. The methods of removal are:
MICRO-SUCTION
A gentle suction device is used to precisely remove the earwax. This method is quick and generally requires less aftercare, making it an efficient choice for maintaining hearing health.
IRRIGATION
A controlled stream of warm water is used to flush out earwax. This technique is suitable for soft or loose earwax but is not recommended for individuals with ear infections, perforated eardrums, or a history of ear problems. This procedure is what was previously provided at your local NHS practice.
MANUAL REMOVAL
A small instrument, such as a curette or forceps, may be used for dry or hardened wax or to remove foreign objects at the entrance to the ear canal.
POST EARWAX REMOVAL
After ear cleaning services for earwax removal, your ears will be re-examined to ensure that all excessive wax has been effectively eliminated. The health of the ear canal and eardrum will be checked for any signs of irritation or infection, which is crucial for your hearing health. Personalized recommendations for ongoing ear care or a medical referral will be provided as necessary.
IMMEDIATE SENSATION AFTER EARWAX REMOVAL
It is normal to experience temporary changes after ear cleaning services, such as: Clearer hearing - sounds may seem louder than usual, which can be a sign of improved hearing health. Dizziness or imbalance - sudden changes can cause brief dizziness. Mild sensitivity - your ears may feel slightly irritated, but this should settle quickly as your ear care routine supports recovery.
AFTERCARE ADVICE
KEEP YOUR EARS DRY
To maintain your hearing health, avoid swimming or getting water in your ears for 24-48 hours after micro-suction or up to 7 days after water irrigation. For effective ear care, place cotton wool in your outer ear to prevent water from entering the ear canal.
AVOID INSERTING OBJECTS IN YOUR EARS
For proper ear cleaning services, steer clear of using cotton buds, fingers, or ear candles as these can push wax further into the ear canal and cause irritation.
USE EAR DROPS (IF ADVISED)
If recommended, apply olive oil or medicated ear drops occasionally to help keep wax soft and manageable, supporting your overall ear care routine.
PREVENTIVE CARE
If you are prone to wax build-up, consider regular ear care checks every 10-12 months to maintain your hearing health. Contact your GP if you experience: Ear discharge, persistent ear pain lasting more than 7 days, or if you require urgent care due to sudden hearing loss. Additionally, you may want to explore ear cleaning services for optimal ear hygiene.
