Do you offer ear wax removal for children?
YES WE DO!! Increasingly at New Forest Earwax Removal we are seeing more and more children, aged 5 upwards who are struggling with ear wax build up and the discomfort this brings them. We now have a steady flow of children who often require regular interventions and our service offers a faster route to relief compared to the longer wait for treatment on the NHS.
Earwax, or cerumen, is a natural substance produced by glands in the ear canal. It plays a crucial role in protecting the ear by trapping dust, bacteria, and other foreign particles. While it is essential for ear health, excessive earwax buildup can lead to discomfort, hearing problems and infections, particularly in children.
We will only offer the warm water irrigation treatment for children which provides a gentle and kind method to ear wax extraction that most children seem to respond well to.
What are the biggest worries or hesitations people have before booking an earwax removal appointment with you?
A common concern is "Will this hurt?" We assure you that our earwax removal procedures are gentle and typically pain-free. We use techniques like microsuction, which is considered a safe and comfortable method. We prioritise your comfort and will always explain the process thoroughly before we begin.
What should I do before my earwax removal appointment?
It is always useful to use ear drops for 2 or 3 days before your treatment to soften the wax. You may use olive oil (Earol) or ear drops such as Otex Express (Hydrogen peroxide treatment) as this can make the procedure quicker and more comfortable. Its particularly useful when having warm water irrigation.
