Earwax Impaction

Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive and often life-altering lung disease that causes scarring of the lung tissue, making it increasingly difficult to breathe.

Expert, Compassionate Care to Help You Hear Clearly
 Earwax impaction occurs when earwax (cerumen) builds up and hardens in the ear canal, blocking sound and sometimes causing discomfort or hearing loss. While often overlooked, untreated impaction can lead to infections, ear pain, and balance problems. Early evaluation and personalized care can quickly relieve symptoms and restore ear health.
At Premium Healthcare, we provide comprehensive earwax impaction evaluation and management in Miami and South Florida. Our team works closely with primary care providers and specialists to support you every step of the way.

What Is Earwax Impaction?
 Earwax is a natural substance that protects the ear canal by trapping dust and bacteria. Normally, it moves outward on its own, but sometimes it accumulates and becomes impacted, blocking the ear canal.
 Earwax impaction can be caused by:

  • Overproduction of earwax
  • Narrow or abnormally shaped ear canals
  • Use of cotton swabs, hearing aids, or earbuds pushing wax deeper
  • Skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis
  • Aging, which often leads to drier earwax

Symptoms of Earwax Impaction
 Impacted earwax can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. Common signs include:

  • Earache or fullness in the ear
  • Partial or sudden hearing loss
  • Ringing in the ear (tinnitus)
  • Dizziness or balance problems
  • Itching or discharge from the ear
  • Coughing or discomfort in the jaw

Because these symptoms can resemble other ear conditions, a thorough medical evaluation is essential.

Risk Factors
 Several factors can increase your risk of earwax impaction:

  • Frequent use of hearing aids or earbuds
  • Habitual use of cotton swabs or objects in the ear
  • Narrow or hairy ear canals
  • Advanced age
  • History of recurrent ear infections or ear surgery
  • Skin conditions that affect the ear canal

At Premium Healthcare, we carefully assess your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history to identify contributing factors.

How Earwax Impaction Is Diagnosed
 Our team begins with a comprehensive consultation and physical exam. We may recommend the following diagnostic steps:

  • Otoscopic exam – direct visualization of earwax in the canal
  • Hearing test (audiometry) – if hearing loss is suspected
  • Tympanometry – to evaluate eardrum movement and rule out middle ear issues
  • Assessment for infection or underlying ear conditions

Early and accurate diagnosis helps guide safe and effective treatment.

Treatment Options for Earwax Impaction
 While earwax impaction can often be treated easily, professional care ensures safety and reduces the risk of damage. We provide and coordinate:

  1. Earwax Removal in Office
  • Gentle irrigation with warm water
  • Suction or curettage performed by trained professionals
  1. Medication Management
  • Prescription or over-the-counter ear drops (cerumenolytics) to soften wax before removal
  1. Home Care Guidance
     Our care team provides education on:
  • Safe ear hygiene practices
  • Avoiding cotton swabs or sharp objects
  • Monitoring for recurrent symptoms

4. Referral for Complex Cases
