Symptoms for which you should consult a doctor

The cork is not always visible to the naked eye. Sign up for a consultation if you notice the following signs:

· Feeling of ear fullness and hearing loss
· Noise, humming, or ringing in the ears
· Itching or pain in the ear canal
· Dizziness, headache, nausea (if the plug is pressing on the eardrum)
· The echo of one’s own voice in a blocked ear (autophony)

Important! Do not attempt to remove the plug yourself! This can lead to injury to the eardrum, infection and the plug being pushed even deeper.

Methods for removing wax plug

After examination (otoscopy), the doctor will choose the best way to solve the problem.

1. Washing (Irrigation) The most common and gentle method. Using a special Janet syringe, the doctor, under visual control, directs a stream of warm water or saline into the ear canal. The plug is washed out along with the flow of liquid. The procedure is painless and takes a few minutes.

2. Instrumental removal (Curettage) Used if lavage is contraindicated (for example, if the eardrum is perforated or there is a shunt), or if the plug is very dry and dense. The doctor uses sterile microinstruments (hooks, forceps, loops) and carefully removes the plug under visual control.

3. Aspiration (Suction) Used to remove soft plugs using an electric suction device. The method requires high precision from the doctor. Before the procedure, if the plug is hard, the doctor may recommend instilling special drops to soften it 2-3 days before the visit.
