Our procedure
After the assessment, the nurse will wash the ears. Removal of the plug or intruder is made painless by injecting a liquid. The fee is $50. If no treatment is required, you will be charged only $20 for the evaluation. A single appointment is all it takes to relieve lingering discomfort. Then make an appointment.
Consult for ear cleaning
When should I consult?
- You feel discomfort
- You have reduced hearing
- You have the impression of hearing a buzzing or thumping sound.
- You suffer from itching or irritation inside the ear
- You feel that your ear is blocked
- You hear the sound of water or wind (you probably have a stuck hair)
Did you know that...
Cerumen, better known as earwax, is:
- an essential element for the health of our ears
- it lubricates the eardrum so that it retains its sound transmission functions and does not dry out
- it also protects the ears and ear canal from bacteria that can infiltrate them
However, there are a number of factors that cause wax to form in excessive quantities and depths.
These problems can occur at any age. However, men and the elderly are more at risk, as they tend to produce more earwax. The major external factors in earwax build-up are excessive noise, wearing headphones or hearing protection, and the use of cotton swabs.
Finally, did you know that stress increases earwax? The apocrine glands that produce earwax are of the same type as those that produce sweat. As a result of stress, earwax is a little darker and stickier, making it more prone to clogging.
