Most earwax removal procedures take about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the extent of the buildup and the technique used. We ensure a thorough cleaning without rushing the process, allowing time for examination and aftercare instructions.
No, professional earwax removal should not be painful. You may feel slight pressure or unusual sensations, but our gentle techniques prioritize your comfort throughout the procedure. If you experience any discomfort, please let us know immediately.
The frequency of professional ear cleaning varies from person to person. Some individuals may need it every few months, while others may only require it annually. We can provide personalized recommendations based on your ear health and wax production.
While some at-home methods can be safe for minor wax removal, we generally recommend professional cleaning for thorough and safe results. Over-the-counter ear drops can help soften wax, but avoid inserting any objects into your ear canal, as this can cause injury or push wax deeper.
If excess earwax is affecting your hearing, removal can lead to significant improvement. However, if you have underlying hearing loss, additional evaluation and treatment may be necessary. We can perform a hearing test after wax removal to assess your hearing status.
After the procedure, avoid inserting anything into your ears and keep them dry for a day or two. We'll provide specific aftercare instructions, which may include gentle cleaning methods and ways to prevent future excessive buildup. If you experience any unusual symptoms following the procedure, contact us immediately.
