Professional Earwax (Cerumen) Removal In Lacey, WA
Professional Earwax (Cerumen) Removal In Lacey, WA
If you’ve had the feeling of blocked or clogged ears lately, then you may have a buildup of earwax.
However, there’s nothing to worry about, as a lot of people come to see us with this problem.
The good news is that earwax is normal and our bodies actually need it for many reasons, as wax is a natural substance that the body produces as protection against bacteria and fungi that could lead to ear infections.
In fact, we should embrace earwax, but only in small doses.
If you have an increased amount of wax or worse, impacted earwax, then this can lead to other issues that will challenge more than just your hearing. If left untreated, this can lead to a sudden or temporary hearing loss, dizziness, headaches, balance issues, and even ear pain.
The causes of impacted earwax can vary from person to person, but we have narrowed it down to one common denominator: cotton swabs.
The use of cotton swabs is a huge contributor to impacted earwax. Using these only serves to push the wax further into your ear instead of removing it and definitely leads to a buildup or even a blockage.
Throughout our many years of serving thousands of ears in Lacey, WA, we have come across a few myths about earwax and its removal, but the safest and most common way to remove a buildup of earwax is to seek professional assistance from a hearing specialist who will be able to remove it in the most efficient and safest way.

What Is Earwax?
What Is Earwax?
Earwax (cerumen) is the yellow-colored substance that resides inside of your ears.
It is made up of dead skin cells and hair that it picks up from the outside of the ear as it moves to the entrance of the canal.
Consisting of antibacterial properties, it acts as a natural lubricant as it protects and moisturizes the ears.

How Does Earwax Build Up?
How Does Earwax Build Up?
The causes of an earwax buildup vary. Some people are prone to producing more earwax than others, or perhaps they have a medical condition that causes an excess of earwax, although this is rare.
Generally, an earwax buildup is caused by people falsely cleaning their ears.
Cotton swabs and bobby pins are a common method, which can actually push the wax deeper into the ear, creating stubborn, immobile wax.
