Professional Earwax Removal in Fall River & Dartmouth
If your ears feel blocked, clogged up, or if you feel that you’re struggling to hear as well as you once did, then there’s a strong chance that it may be due to a buildup of earwax.
Duncan Hearing is happy to help you with a professional and safe ear cleaning appointment to remove excess earwax and help your hearing get back to the levels it was before.
Understanding Earwax Removal
When you have an over-accumulation of earwax or impacted earwax, then it can cause many challenges, including a temporary or a sudden hearing loss, a feeling of fullness in your ear, dizziness, headaches, balance issues, and ear pain.
The causes of impacted earwax can vary, but the most common reason is using cotton swabs to attempt to “clean” your ears. This just leads to the earwax being pushed deeper into your canal, leading to a buildup or blockage.
Although there are many myths and misconceptions about removing earwax, the safest and most effective way is to work with an audiologist or health professional that has helped hundreds of other local people with the same challenges.
The Myths & Misconceptions Surrounding Earwax
"My body creates too much earwax!"
This is rarely true – your ear typically creates the right amount of wax to keep your ears debris-free, but if you clean them too much, your body will make more and this can also lead to a blockage.
"I can use a cotton swab to remove earwax"
Please do not do this; it can be very dangerous and will often cause more problems than it solves. Cotton swabs are one of the leading reasons that many people experience a buildup of earwax or blockage by pushing the earwax too deep into their ear canal.
"There are online tutorials for removing earwax yourself"
There are also tutorials online of how to cut your own hair or how to perform your own electrical work – it doesn’t mean that it’s the smartest or safest approach. The long-term risks of not consulting a professional outweigh the small investment that is required to have a specialist help you.
"My ear will naturally clean/fix itself"
If your ears are blocked or sore, then they need attention – leaving your ear to fix the problem itself could lead to ear infections and/or permanent damage.
How Does Earwax Removal Work?
At Duncan Hearing, we provide safe and gentle earwax removal to help you hear more clearly and feel more comfortable.
A Warm Welcome
You’ll receive instructions prior to your appointment to let you know where to park and where to go, and we’ll be excitedly awaiting to meet you!
A Conversation About You
We always start with a quick chat about you—what challenges you’ve been facing to do with your hearing, whether excess earwax is a genetic issue, and any previous challenges you’ve had to do with your hearing. Telling us as much as you can allows us to better understand what’s going on in your ears!
An Examination of Your Ears
By using a professional video otoscope, we’ll look into your ears and determine what is causing the blockage while showing you what we can see on a screen in front of you.
Say Goodbye to Your Earwax
Our state-of-the-art Earigator uses a flush of warm water to soften and gently remove earwax, so you won’t feel any pain or discomfort. For tougher blockages, we’ll use a curette to gently scoop the impaction out.
Your Ears Will Feel Like Brand New!
This is usually a nice moment as you realize just how much of an impact that earwax was having on your hearing – it feels like your ears are finally popping after a long flight!
