A simple, quick, and safe treatment to relieve discomfort
The accumulation of earwax in the ear canal is a natural phenomenon, but when it becomes excessive, it can cause discomfort, hearing loss, or even secondary symptoms such as headaches, ringing in the ears, or dizziness. At Clinique Santé STAT, we offer a professional ear cleaning service, by appointment, to safely remove earwax blockages.
This treatment is performed by an experienced professional using sterile equipment and a gentle technique that respects the integrity of your ear. It is a simple, quick, and highly effective solution to improve your hearing comfort without having to consult a doctor.
When should you a doctor for an ear cleaning?
It is not always easy to know when earwax blockage requires treatment. Here are some common signs that may indicate that ear cleaning is appropriate:
- Feeling of blocked ears;
- Decreased hearing;
- Ringing or whistling in the ear;
- Pain or pressure in the ear;
- Persistent internal itching;
- Dizziness or slight loss of balance;
- History of frequent blockages or sensitive ears.
Ear cleaning is recommended when earwax significantly blocks the ear canal. It can also be useful before a hearing exam or medical test to ensure that the ear is clear.
How does the treatment work ?
During your appointment at the clinic, we will first perform a visual assessment of your ear using an otoscope to determine the presence, density, and depth of the blockage.
If washing is indicated, the treatment consists of gently spraying warm water into the ear canal using a specialized device to dislodge the accumulated earwax. In some cases, a softening treatment may be recommended beforehand, especially if the blockage is compact or adherent.
Once the blockage has been removed, a second examination is performed to confirm that the ear canal is clear. The entire procedure takes only a few minutes, is painless, and is performed in a calm and professional setting.
Who is this service for?
Our ear cleaning service is for anyone, adult or senior, who experiences discomfort due to earwax buildup. The treatment is particularly useful for:
