Why Choose Professional Ear Wax Removal?
While it might be tempting to try home remedies, removing ear wax on your own can often push it deeper into the ear canal, leading to more discomfort or even damage. Professional ear wax removal is:
- Safe and Effective: Performed by trained specialists using professional tools.
- Gentle and Comfortable: We prioritize your comfort at every step.
- Quick and Easy: Most appointments take less than an hour.
- Restorative: Clearer hearing and reduced ear pressure after treatment.
Our Ear Wax Removal Methods
At Lakeside Hearing, we use state-of-the-art techniques to gently and safely remove ear wax buildup, leaving you feeling relieved and refreshed.
Micro-Suction
A small, gentle suction device is used to carefully remove wax from the ear canal. This is one of the safest and most precise methods, often recommended for patients with sensitive ears or narrow canals.
Mechanical Removal (Curettage)
Wax is removed manually using specialized instruments such as a curette. This method is effective for harder wax and allows the clinician to work with precision under direct visualization.
Irrigation
A controlled stream of warm water is used to gently flush out wax from the ear canal. This method can be particularly effective for softer wax or larger amounts of buildup.
We will determine the best method for you after a quick examination.
Signs You May Need Ear Wax Removal
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it may be time to schedule an appointment:
- Feeling of fullness or blockage in one or both ears
- Reduced or muffled hearing
- Earache or discomfort
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Dizziness or balance issues
Preparing for Your Kelowna Ear Wax Removal Appointment
In some cases, using a few drops of olive oil or mineral oil in the days before your appointment can help soften the wax and make removal easier.
⚠️ Important: Do not use drops if you suspect a perforation (hole in the eardrum), have ear pain, or have been advised against it by your doctor. If you’re unsure, check with our team first.
Don’t wait until symptoms worsen. Early care can prevent unnecessary discomfort and protect your hearing health.
