Several Common Myths Related to Earwax Removal
Myth #1 – My ears make too much earwax!
Your ears make exactly the amount of earwax you need. Removing it too often, signals the cells that produce earwax to step up production because your ear canal is getting too dry. Ear cleaning should only be required for the outer ear alone.
Myth #2 – Cotton swabs are perfect for safe earwax removal
Not only are they not perfect for removing earwax, they can be dangerous. What you’re more apt to do is push the earwax farther down the ear canal until it becomes impacted. In addition to packing it against the eardrum where it can cause infection, you run the risk of piercing your eardrum if you get too aggressive.
Myth #3 – There are some great earwax blockage removal tips in online videos
If you’re knitting a sweater, making a pecan pie, building a dollhouse, or checking out product reviews, online videos are a great place to get advice and guidance, but they’re rarely produced by healthcare or hearing care professionals. Skip the online video tips for removing your own earwax so you don’t make things worse or cause permanent damage to your ears. Instead, trust our earwax extraction specialists to handle it safely.
Myth #4 – My ears will sort things out for themselves
During the process of chewing and talking, earwax travels to the outer ear where it falls out on its own or is easy to wipe away. However, if you’re experiencing ear pain, muted sound, and stuffiness, those are signs that something is wrong and you’ll need some help from an earwax removal expert who can provide professional earwax extraction safely and effectively without doing any damage to your ears.
