Ear Wax Removal at DRHC Dubai ENT Clinic

What is Ear Wax and Why Does it Built Up?

Ear wax, or cerumen, is a natural substance that plays a crucial role in protecting the ear canal from dust, debris, and infections. It acts as a lubricant, keeping the ears from becoming dry or irritated. Normally, ear wax works its way out of the ear on its own through jaw movements, like chewing or speaking. However, in some cases, wax builds up excessively, resulting in discomfort and even temporary hearing loss.

At DRHC Dubai, we specialize in safe, effective ear wax removal using advanced, painless techniques. Our team ensures that your ears remain healthy and free of blockages, avoiding potential complications that arise from untreated wax buildup.

Causes of Ear Wax Buildup

Excessive ear wax may result from:

  • Frequent use of earbuds or hearing aids
  • Narrow or curved ear canals that trap wax
  • Overproduction of ear wax due to stress or skin conditions
  • Use of cotton swabs, which push wax deeper into the ear
  • Aging, as older adults tend to produce harder wax
  • Exposure to dusty or dirty environments

Symptoms of Impacted Ear Wax

If ear wax becomes impacted or blocks the ear canal, you may experience:

  • Muffled or decreased hearing
  • Earache or fullness in the ear
  • Tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, or humming sounds)
  • Itchiness or discomfort in the ear canal
  • Occasional dizziness or vertigo
  • Ear infections, leading to drainage or pain

If you have any of these symptoms, it’s essential to seek professional ear wax removal instead of attempting home remedies that may worsen the condition.

Our Ear Wax Removal Techniques at DRHC Dubai

At DRHC Dubai, our ENT specialists use several proven, painless techniques for ear wax removal, customized to your needs:

1. Microsuction – Safe and Precise Removal

  • Uses a small suction device to gently extract wax under microscopic guidance
  • No water required, making it ideal for patients with sensitive ears or perforated eardrums.
  • Quick and comfortable – suitable for adults and children.

2. Ear Irrigation – A Gentle Flushing Process

  • A stream of warm water is used to flush out excess wax.
  • Particularly effective for soft or partially blocked wax.
  • Ensures minimal discomfort with the right temperature and pressure adjustments.

3. Manual Extraction – For Hardened or Impacted Wax

  • Performed with precision tools (like curettes) under a magnified view.
  • Ideal for removing deep or hard wax, especially when other methods are not suitable.

Why Professional Ear Wax Removal is Essential

While it might be tempting to use home remedies, DIY removal often leads to complications, such as:

  • Injury to the ear canal or eardrum from incorrect techniques
  • Infections from improper cleaning tools
  • Deeper impaction of wax, worsening the blockage
  • Hearing issues caused by incomplete removal

At DRHC Dubai, we ensure safe, sterile, and expert care, reducing the risk of complications and restoring your hearing quickly.

  • Clean only the outer part of the ear with a damp cloth.
