What is the best treatment for earwax blockage?
There are really two types of treatment for earwax blockage, one is to soften the wax using home remedies until it drops out naturally, and the other is physically removing the wax using either a dedicated instrument or a process like an ear candling, stringing, or micro-suction.
Home remedies
Home remedies do work for some people, but the results are mixed.
Use baby oil or mineral oil via an eyedropper to soften the earwax that is blocking the ear canal and interrupting your hearing. After a couple of days, gently squirt warm water into the ear canal with a small rubber bulb syringe. There is a technique of tilting your head and pulling the outer ear up and back to straighten the ear canal. After irrigation has finished https://www.touchwoodpharmacy.com/ear-wax-removal/d, tip your head to the side to drain the excess water. Dry the ear canal with a handheld dryer at a low speed.
This process may need to be repeated several times before the excess earwax falls out. However, sometimes, this only loosens the wax’s outer layer, causing it to lodge more profoundly in the ear canal.
What is ear microsuction?
