What Is Ear Wax?

Ear Wax is a secretion that is naturally found within the ear. Its purpose is to keep the canal lubricated, and protects your ear against bacteria.

Wax is composed of oil-based secretions originating from the sebaceous and ceruminous glands within the ear canal, it also contains skin cells. The exact amount of each component depends on a variety of factors, such as diet, age, and environment.

Ear Wax Removal

The procedure of removing ear wax is called Microsuction. Unlike syringing where water is pushed into the ear, Microsuction is a method where the probe extracts the wax from the blocked ear canal.  The Audiologist will use an Otoscope to examine your ear and a probe to “suction” your ear. It is a noisy procedure, but it is not painful. You are required to soften the wax before your appointment, using Earol or other oil based products.
