How a specialist helps with ear problems
When something feels wrong inside your ear, a trained audiologist examines it closely before deciding on the right approach. Each service below addresses a different part of that process.
-
Ear Wax Removal
The specialist examines the ear canal and uses microsuction to lift compacted wax safely without pushing it deeper against the eardrum.
-
Hearing Tests
An audiologist measures how well each ear responds to different frequencies and explains what the results mean for daily life.
-
Audiologist
The audiologist assesses the ear, identifies the cause of any change in hearing, and recommends the appropriate next step.
-
Hearing Aids
The specialist selects a device suited to the type of loss found, fits it carefully, and adjusts the settings over follow-up visits.
Blocked ears
Why your ear feels blocked and will not clear
Wax builds up gradually until it seals the canal. Once that happens, home remedies rarely shift it and often push it further in.
- Muffled hearing Sound has to pass through the wax plug to reach the eardrum. The thicker the blockage, the quieter everything becomes, especially higher-pitched voices.
- A feeling of fullness Compacted wax presses against the sensitive skin of the canal. That pressure creates a constant sensation of something stuck deep inside the ear.
- Ringing or buzzing When the canal is sealed, normal background sounds cannot get through. The brain sometimes fills that silence with a persistent ringing tone.
- Slight dizziness Pressure from a hard wax plug can affect the balance mechanisms nearby. You might feel unsteady when standing up quickly or turning your head.
The appointment
What happens during ear wax removal
- Looking inside the ear
- The audiologist uses a lighted instrument to see exactly where the wax sits and whether the eardrum is visible behind it.
- Microsuction
- A small medical vacuum lifts the wax out piece by piece. The specialist controls the suction strength throughout so nothing touches the eardrum directly.
- Checking the result
- Once the canal is clear, the audiologist looks inside again to confirm all debris is gone and the eardrum moves freely.
- Aftercare advice
- The specialist explains how to keep the ear clean going forward and whether another visit might be needed if wax returns quickly.
