EAR WAX REMOVAL
Ear wax is the bane of many people’s existence. It can accumulate in your ears and cause hearing problems, as well as itchy or painful ears. Thankfully, there are ear wax removal drops that help to soften, loosen, and remove this pesky substance.
Ear wax removal drops might work for adults with ear wax problems because they release oxygen and start to foam when they come in contact with the skin. This foaming helps break up and remove the wax, but it is not recommended for children under 12 years old who might be allergic to this product.
If you have serious ear wax problems, it would be best to seek professional help.
PA Center for Hearing and Balance provides professional ear wax removal in Springfield, PA.
HOW TO USE EAR WAX REMOVAL DROPS
This medication is for use only in the ear. This medication is applied into the ear, usually twice a day or as directed by your doctor. Do not use ear wax removal drops for more than 4 days at a time unless instructed otherwise.
When you buy medicine, it is important to follow the instructions on the package. If you are unsure about any information, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
It is important to follow the instructions on your prescription very carefully or else you may end up with too much medicine in your ear and risk dizziness. To lower the risk of having too much medication, hold the dropper in your hand for a few minutes before using it.
Make sure your hands are clean before applying ear drops. Place the dropper in the ear, tilting upwards if needed. Hold it straight over the canal and drop 5 to 10 drops into it for proper relief from your earache.
To keep the drops from rolling out of your ear, hold your earlobe up and back. When applying ear wax removal drops to children, hold the earlobe down and back. Keep their head tilted for several minutes or insert a soft cotton plug in their ears to help them stay still and prevent any fluid from coming out.
After the wax is removed, gently rinse your ear with warm water or use an ear syringe to remove any leftover residue. For tips on using an ear syringe safely and effectively, talk to a trusted pharmacist or doctor. If you’re quite unsure of how to use ear drops, our audiologists at PA Center for Hearing and Balance can help.
The last thing you need to do is to rinse the dropper. If you do get the medication in your eyes, don’t panic! Rinse them with plenty of water and you’ll be good as new. If your condition persists for 4 days or worsens, or if you think that it might be more serious than what this medication can cover, visit a doctor immediately.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
If you’re experiencing excessive wax buildup or if your ears are blocked, you may need to get them professionally cleaned. PA Center for Hearing and Balance uses safe and effective techniques to remove hard wax from your ear canal.
There are many reasons that people can experience a buildup of earwax, but it’s important to be aware of the consequences. Caused by conditions such as stenosis (narrowing of the ear canal), overgrowth of hair in the canal, and hypothyroidism, excessive cerumen can lead to hearing loss and other physical issues.
If you find yourself constantly struggling with wax buildup or experiencing any kind of pain/discomfort due to this issue, it’s best not to rely on ear wax removal drops and seek the help of an audiologist instead.
The majority of people find it completely painless to have their ears cleaned by a professional, but if it’s your first time or you are quite sensitive or ticklish, you may experience an uncomfortable feeling when they clean your ear. But all in all, ear cleaning is not something to be worried about – generally a painless and quick procedure.
Tinnitus is the most common and bothersome symptom of hearing loss, but it can also occur even in individuals with normal hearing. It’s a ringing or buzzing sound that persists long after exposure to loud noise
Ear wax removal may eliminate tinnitus if the latter is caused by a wax buildup. Best to make sure what’s causing your tinnitus – see an audiologist for a proper diagnosis!
Wax buildup is common and can be a serious problem for hearing. If you notice any of the following, make an appointment with your hearing care professional: muffled or muted hearing, discharge from your ear or wax on your pillow, pain in the ear, itchiness in the ear.
Many adults have a problem with earwax buildup, which can be unpleasant and lead to discomfort. A good rule of thumb is to see your doctor or professional every six months for an ear cleaning, which will get rid of the wax buildup so you’re less likely to experience these symptoms.
We need to be very careful about what we put in our ears. Cotton swabs can cause more harm than good and are not the answer when it comes to earwax removal. Your body has a natural defense system that prevents infections from coming in through your ear canals, so don’t mess with this process by cleaning your ears using cotton swabs.
