Ear Wax & Ear Wax Removal

Ear wax (cerumen) is produced by glands inside the ear canals and is a sign of a healthy functioning ear. It serves to protect the outer ear from external agents like dust or . It also has antibacterial and antifungal properties, as well as moisturising qualities.

The build-up of earwax can result in irritation, discomfort and blockage of the ear canal in some instances. This in turns lead to sensation of fullness in the ears, pain and difficulty hearing. Hence it is crucial to remove the earwax as soon as possible to prevent it from becoming impacted, which will require advanced extraction techniques.

There are a number of ways to remove earwax, some of which can be done at home. However if not performed properly, this can results in complications such as bleeding and infections. Hence the best technique to safely remove earwax is known as micro-suction which involves vacuuming the wax out of your ears. At Filtered Clear Hub, we provide wax removal services using this technique.
