What Is Ear Wax (Cerumen) Removal, and Who Needs It?

Cerumen, more commonly known as ear wax, is a substance the ear naturally produces to protect the ear canal. Most of the time it clears on its own, but sometimes it builds up and causes clogged ears, muffled hearing, or discomfort.

Professional removal is especially important for anyone who wears hearing aids, since built-up wax can interfere with how well they work. It's also worth having checked if at-home attempts haven't helped, since tools like cotton swabs can push wax deeper into the canal instead of clearing it.

How We Approach Ear Wax Removal at Texas Hearing Center

Ear wax removal at Texas Hearing Center is performed exclusively by Dr. Deven Martin, Au.D., a Doctor of Audiology, not a technician. We use the Earigator system, a specialized ear irrigation tool that allows for gentle, controlled removal, a safer and more comfortable alternative to at-home tools like cotton swabs.

Because Dr. Martin is trained to evaluate hearing as well as clean ears, she can also identify if wax buildup is masking an underlying hearing issue that needs further attention.
