ear wax removal
Cleaning ear canals
Ear wax removal is the process of clearing accumulated cerumen from the ear canal.
Methods range from home remedies like drops that soften wax for natural expulsion, to professional procedures involving irrigation, suction, or curettes.
I finally got an ear wax removal appointment and can hear so much better now.
The practice is usually unnecessary—ears are self-cleaning—but impacted wax can cause hearing loss or discomfort.
