Safe Professional Earwax Removal In Northeast Oregon
A feeling of fullness in your ears? Muffled sound, pressure, and aching in your ears are all common signs that your ears are plugged with impacted earwax.
Though earwax buildup is frustrating and irritating, it is an easy problem to fix.
Earwax is nature’s janitorial service for your ears. Designed to remove the dirt, debris, fungi, and bacteria from the ear canal to help prevent infection of your outer ear.
However, there are times when earwax builds up and becomes impacted, causing pain, pressure, ringing in your ears, and/or muffled sound.
Our earwax removal professionals at Audiology and Hearing Aid Associates have helped hundreds of individuals in Northeast Oregon get the relief they need from impacted earwax, and we’re ready to help you too.
Four Reasons To Leave Earwax Removal To A Professional



It is nearly irresistible and common practice for individuals to insert cotton-tipped swabs or other elongated objects (your audiologist shudders at the thought of what they might be) into your ears, but it’s never in your best interest to do so.
All healthcare professionals discourage digging earwax out of your ears, and they will give you four main reasons to leave earwax removal to a professional instead of doing it yourself.
#1 – Earwax Removal Is Usually Unnecessary
The ear canal requires little routine maintenance and cleaning because it has a natural, built-in process to deal with removing anything that is harmful to your ears. Earwax is produced within the ear canal, migrating from deep inside to outside with only a few exceptions. Problems occur when your ears produce more than the average amount of earwax or hearing aids or earplugs block the opening of the ear and prevent wax from coming all the way out.
