Ear wax removal by a qualified audiologist

 

Can I remove ear wax at home?

 

Don’t put your ear health and hearing at risk with DIY home ear wax removal – read on for our expert advice.

DIY ear wax removal can be risky and can actually make your blocked ears even worse because:

  • It can cause your ear wax to become even more compacted – you could push the wax further into the ear and create a blockage.
  • You could damage your ear – ears are very sensitive and too much pressure could damage or rupture your ear drum potentially causing hearing loss issue.
  • There are infection risks – inserting objects into your ear or using the incorrect technique can disrupt your ears natural balance risking infections.
  • It can be difficult to see what you are doing even if you have someone helping you – the ear canal is a small and delicate space requiring the correct lighting and experience to clear effectively.
