Ear Wax

Ear wax are dead skin and oil generated by the ear to protect the ear. Occasionally, ear wax may accumulate within the ear canal causing blockage, ear pain or a ringing sound. Ear wax maybe impacted or infected causing ear canal infection (Otitis Externa) and pain. They can be removed in the clinic through micro-suction, very fine specialized forceps, and high magnification microscope. Occasional ear wax may cause ear canal inflammation, an expanded ear canal and infection.
