Professional Ear Wax (Cerumen) Removal at Texas Hearing Center
Ear wax, or cerumen, is a natural and protective part of ear health — but sometimes it can build up and cause discomfort, hearing difficulty, or even hearing aid malfunction. At Texas Hearing Center, we offer safe, professional cerumen removal performed by a Doctor of Audiology, using gentle and precise methods tailored to each patient.
Safe and Effective Techniques
Our audiologist uses advanced tools and visualization to ensure thorough, comfortable, and safe wax removal.
We utilize:
-
Curettes for gentle manual removal
-
Alligator forceps for precise extraction
-
Irrigation for softening and flushing debris when appropriate
-
Video otoscopy so you can see exactly what we see — before and after the procedure
This comprehensive approach ensures your ears are cleaned safely without risking damage to the ear canal or eardrum, unlike over-the-counter kits or cotton swabs.
Why Choose Professional Cerumen Removal?
While ear wax serves an important purpose — protecting and moisturizing the ear canal — too much can lead to:
-
Fullness or pressure in the ear
-
Itching or discomfort
-
Diminished hearing
-
Feedback or poor performance from hearing aids
-
Dizziness or ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
Having your ears cleaned professionally ensures complete and safe removal while identifying any potential underlying issues that may need medical attention.
