Earwax Accumulation Is a Common ENT Issue That Can Be Resolved Easily, Read on to find out more
—
Guildford ENT today spoke out about earwax accumulation and how it is an easily resolved ENT condition. Hearing loss is actually quite prevalent and normal in certain situations. There are numerous causes of hearing loss, which can be broadly categorised into two groups: sensorineural and conductive, and in some cases both may be present.
Depending on the cause, conductive causes may be either relatively straightforward or so complex as to necessitate surgery. A buildup of excessive earwax is a conductive issue that can be treated easily, whereas a perforated eardrum may necessitate surgery.
Multiple causes of sensorineural hearing loss exist, including viral infections and small growths that compress the hearing nerve. In the majority of cases, these can cause problems with balance, hearing loss, and tinnitus.
Examining a patient’s medical history, conducting a thorough physical examination, and administering a variety of hearing tests allows for an accurate diagnosis. On rare occasions, an MRI may be necessary to determine the underlying cause.
Earwax accumulation is one of the most prevalent conductive causes. Earwax is a naturally occurring ear component that is produced in the canal. It is composed primarily of dead skin cells and gland-produced cerumen.
Earwax is beneficial because it acts as a lubricant and antibacterial agent, and although it’s normally shed from the ear canal, some patients can develop a buildup, which is sometimes caused by cotton swabs.
GuildfordENT has been serving patients in the Guildford area for a while and can assist those who suffer from earwax buildup by providing specific treatments. It is possible to syringe earwax, but doing so may cause damage to the ear canal and/or eardrum. Microsuction is a superior method of removing earwax. Here, the wax is removed under direct microscope observation in a controlled manner.
