Ear Wax Removal Lincoln – Microsuction is considered the gold standard treatment for ear wax removal. It is the safest and most comfortable way to remove excessive or compacted ear wax and relieve you of your irritable symptoms.
Ear wax is a completely natural by-product of your ears which acts as a protection barrier to trap dust and debris entering the ear canal and has antibacterial properties to help prevent ear infections.
Excessive ear wax production is very common amongst all age groups and in most cases is due to the glands lining the ear canal to be secreting excessive ear wax, the anatomy / shape and size of the ear canal can also play a big role in ear wax production such as narrow or curved ear canals. Certain types of diets or medications can also play a role in the excessive production of ear wax.
As many of us today, we like to use insert earphones or headphones to listen to music which ultimately has an impact on the natural movement of ear wax inside your ear canal and can cause a blockage.
Other home remedies such as self-cleaning with a cotton bud / ear candling or tools which are for sale on the internet can do more harm than good. Therefore, it is always advisable to have your ear canals inspected and treated by a GP or qualified Audiologist.
