Cerumen Management

EAR WAX REMOVAL

If an audiologist or another medical professional has recommended “cerumen management,” they are talking about ear wax removal. Cerumen is the medical term for ear wax, and often, the cerumen must be cleaned out, as excess accumulates in the ear canal. Excess cerumen can impede the ear canal and is responsible for a tremendous amount of hearing aid faults. Ear wax can build up not only in the ear canal but within the speaker in the hearing aid as well.

CERUMEN MANAGEMENT TREATMENT AND EAR WAX REMOVAL OPTIONS

McGuire’s Hearing Centers offer a variety of cerumen/ear wax treatments. If you’re having issues with ear canal impedance, difficulty hearing, or hearing aid performance hindrances, there is a good chance that excess ear wax is at fault. We offer the following services in regards to cerumen management:

EXTERNAL EXAMINATION OF EAR CANAL

To properly gauge and treat your cerumen condition, we will need to perform an examination on the outside of your ear. This is a necessary step in getting a comprehensive picture of your cerumen issues.

EARDRUM EXAMINATION

To get to the root of your ear wax problems, our staff will examine the interior of the ear canal. We investigate discoloration, obstructions, swelling, or any other irregularity that may be causing discomfort or auditory impedance.

EAR IRRIGATION

Also known as a “warm water flush,” this gentle ear wax removal procedure sends a torrent of warm water through the ear canal to flush loose excess ear wax. This is a common treatment for cerumen management.

REFERRAL TO A PHYSICIAN OR SPECIALIST

If hearing impedance or excessive ear wax is a symptom of a bigger health problem beyond the scope of our services, we can absolutely refer you to a specialist to help make a proactive health choice.

If you’re experiencing hearing issues related to excessive ear wax or irregular cerumen, please don’t hesitate to give us a call, or visit us at any of our locations. These symptoms are uncomfortable, have a negative impact on your quality of life, and could be a sign of a bigger medical problem.

Just had a hearing test, which Dawn explained all that was going on and why hearing aids are warranted. They make sure to notify when cleanings are due. Would recommend McGuire's to everyone who needs hearing aids. Cathy, the receptionist is incredible too. Thank you McGuire's!!!

It's helpful that the office is very near where I live. The office is clean and well-maintained. The audiologist takes his time and provides good information. The office assistant seems efficient and has been helpful when I misplaced my charging case.

Great experience. McGuire's is so genuine. They really grasp what a challenge hearing can be. The whole process was very informative. I didn't know my hearing was actually as bad as it is until I left with excitement. I can hear again ! 😁
