What is earwax?
Earwax acts as a self-cleaning system for your ears, protecting them from bacteria and debris that can cause infections.
Earwax comes in a variety of colours, ranging from yellow to brilliant orange to dark brown, and is naturally produced by glands in the ear canal. Your body naturally produces enough earwax to keep your ear canals healthy, but this wax can become hard and impacted over time, causing problems such as hearing loss or discomfort.
Key functions of earwax
Earwax is beneficial to your ears, which is why your body makes it naturally, as long as it doesn’t become harden and cause blockage of the ear canal.
- Its sticky texture keeps bacteria and germs out of the ear canal, where they can cause infections.
- The earwax, which contains any stored dirt or bacteria, will eventually slip out without your knowledge, cleaning as it goes.
- Earwax moisturises the skin and aids in the maintenance of the ear’s natural pH balance, preventing inflammation and dryness.
The cleaning process happens naturally, you should refrain from manually inserting cotton buds or any other objects to dig any wax out. This can push the wax further inside and also there is a risk of damaging the ear canal and dear drum.
How to safely treat ear wax buildup?
Using medical-grade olive oil or almond oil for 3-5 days will help to soften the earwax and help it clear on its own. Use 2-3 drops in each ear 3-4 times a day or follow the instruction on the packaging of the product. You can pick these ear drops from most pharmacies.
If the earwax buildup doesn’t resolve with the oil drops then you can speak to a member of staff at the pharmacy for medical ear drops which works by dissolving the ear wax.
Some individuals find it difficult to resolve their earwax buildup with ear drops. In such cases, removing ear wax through a controlled medical procedure might be an option. There are two main methods, microsuction and irrigation. These procedures should only be carried out by trained professionals, using specialist equipment to remove earwax as safely, efficiently and quickly as possible.
