Ear Cleaning in Guadalajara
Safe earwax removal with professional ENT evaluation
Dr. Karla Sanz examines the ear before removing earwax to confirm if the discomfort is caused by a blockage, infection, inflammation, or another condition requiring specific treatment.
Signs that your ear needs to be examined before attempting self-cleaning
Ear cleaning can be highly beneficial when there is accumulated earwax, but it must first be confirmed that no infection, inflammation, or eardrum perforation is present.
Clogged ear
A sensation of pressure, blockage, or hearing loss that could be related to earwax or another underlying cause.
Hearing loss
Sudden or progressive hearing reduction that requires a canal examination before assuming it is just wax.
Ringing or discomfort
Ringing (tinnitus), pain, or itching can accompany an earwax impaction, irritation, or infection.
Discomfort after water exposure or headphone use
Swimming, using headphones, or inserting objects into the ear can compact earwax or irritate the canal.
Ear cleaning must always begin with a medical examination
Not every sensation of a clogged ear is caused by earwax. Before removing any impaction, it is crucial to examine the ear canal and tympanic membrane (eardrum) to rule out inflammation, infection, injury, or perforation. Furthermore, if the clogged sensation is accompanied by dizziness or instability or a persistent ringing in the ear (tinnitus), a specialist evaluation is essential to rule out other medical causes.
Dr. Karla Sanz performs a comprehensive ENT evaluation to determine if ear cleaning can be done during the visit or if medical treatment is required first.
