3 Signs You’re in Need of Ear Wax Removal
Even if you take the very best care of your ears, there may be times when it simply isn’t enough and you need to seek professional ear wax removal services. However, unless you’re an expert audiologist like the team from Egans Hearing Centre, you might not be able to determine when you need to seek outside help.
That’s why we’ve collected the three most important signs for you here!
1. Irritation & Discomfort
One of the clearest signs that you may be in need of professional ear wax removal is irritation and discomfort in your ears. Persistent irritation in the ears is a clear sign that you may need ear wax removal, especially if it lasts more than a few days. A professional audiologist will be able to help eliminate your discomfort and irritation by giving you a safe deep ear cleaning that goes above and beyond anything you can do on your own. Ear wax removal is a quick and painless process, so you can easily go about your day afterward.
2. You’re Hearing Strange Noises
It may seem strange that blocked ears can produce strange noises but it’s true. You might hear a ringing in your ears or strange noises that others don’t hear. Additionally, an excess of ear wax can result in tinnitus, which if left unattended can result in more serious issues down the road. Again, a reliable audiologist will be able to determine the best way to deal with your issues.
3. Experiencing Hearing Loss
Experiencing hearing loss can be the result of a number of things, especially a build-up of ear wax. It may be a sudden loss of hearing or something more gradual but either way, having it assessed by a professional is key. Going in for an ear wax cleaning may be all that’s needed to resolve the issue. However, if it persists, you may need to invest in a custom hearing aid designed by an audiologist for your specific needs.
