What to expect...
When your appointment begins you and your audiologist will discuss the symptoms you are experiencing and ask you some medical questions regarding your ears. They will then use a small camera to look inside your ears and to assess the type and amount of ear wax present. The images of this examination will be visible on the computer screen so that you can see the inside of your ears yourself if you wish.
Before beginning any procedure they will explain everything in detail and will give you the opportunity to ask any questions that you may have. Once you have confirmed that you are happy to proceed your audiologist they will proceed to extract the ear wax using the best and safest method of removal for you and your ears. There are three possible methods of ear wax removal that they might use – microsuction, irrigation or manual removal – see below for more details.
At Zest Hearing Care we provide the highest quality service available. As a standard part of our ear wax removal service your clinician will then perform a full health check on your ears.
• Otoscopy – your specialist will examine the visual appearance of your ear canals and ear drums – you will be amazed by the difference once the wax has been removed!
• Tympanometry – this test will assess the health of your middle ears (the part behind your eardrum)
• Hearing screen – your clinician will assess your level of hearing to check the overall health of your whole hearing pathway. If you wear hearing aids this screen will be done while wearing your hearing aids to make sure that they are working well and are appropriate for your current hearing levels.
How is the ear
wax removed?
At Zest Hearing Care we offer wax removal by microsuction, irrigation and manual removal. Our clinicians are fully trained and will work with you to select the safest and most comfortable method. This will depend on any ear related medical history you may have, as well as the type and position of your ear wax.
There are three possible methods of ear wax removal that may be used:
Microsuction wax removal is a comfortable, effective method of wax removal that involves using a small tube to “vacuum” the wax or debris out of your ears.
For most people this method is better for your ears than the more traditional method of irrigation, particularly if you are prone to ear infections or have had perforated ear-drums in the past.
Wax removal by irrigation is often called “syringing”. However, it is a much safer method than the older version and no syringes are used!
During this procedure, a thin stream of body temperature water is directed into the ear canal. This flushes the ear wax out of the ear canal.
Manual ear wax removal is most suitable for loose ear wax that is close to the entrance to your ear canal. During manual ear wax removal, a tool is used to gently hook the wax out of your ear.
