Blocked ears
Why wax builds up and when it needs attention
Ears produce wax to protect the canal, but sometimes it collects faster than it can leave on its own.
- Narrow or curved ear canals Some people have canals shaped in a way that traps wax instead of letting it fall out naturally. Cotton buds push it deeper.
- Hearing aids and earplugs Wearing devices inside the ear blocks the natural exit path. Wax accumulates behind them until the ear feels full or sounds distort.
- Sudden muffled hearing When one ear drops out mid-conversation, hardened wax is often sitting against the eardrum. A clinic can look inside and confirm this.
- Ringing after a blockage Tinnitus sometimes starts once wax presses on sensitive structures. Removing the build-up frequently reduces the noise, though a clinician will check for other causes first.
What happens during professional wax removal
A specialist clinic handles the entire process, from looking inside the ear to clearing the obstruction safely.
- Visual examination
- The clinician looks down the ear canal with an otoscope before touching anything. This confirms whether wax is actually causing the problem or if something else needs attention.
- Microsuction
- A small medical vacuum lifts dry or soft wax away from the eardrum. The procedure takes only a few minutes per ear and does not use water.
- Irrigation
- Where suction alone is not enough, a controlled stream of warm water flushes stubborn pieces out. The clinician decides which method suits the type of wax present.
- Aftercare advice
- Once the canal is clear, the specialist explains how to keep wax from compacting again and whether olive oil drops would help between visits.
