What is Earwax?
Ear wax also known as cerumen is a normal secretion from the glands located within the outer third of the ear canal. Most often it is moist, brown coloured sticky waxy substance.
If you are in search of an effective and smooth procedure for ear wax removal do visit our ENT specialist Dr. Sanjay Kewalramani.
Benefits of Earwax Removal :
Normally the ear wax gets cleaned on its own and we don’t need to worry about it. In fact, too much ear cleaning can be unhealthy, as it leaves ear canal skin dry and itchy. Sometimes you can create a scratch and sore in the canal skin, which can become a site of an infection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ear wax (cerumen) is a natural substance the ear produces to clean and protect the ear canal. It traps dust and germs and normally clears out on its own.
Buildup happens when wax is produced faster than it clears, or when cotton buds push it deeper into the ear.
Common symptoms are muffled hearing, ear fullness, mild pain, ringing (tinnitus), or itching.
An ENT specialist can safely remove wax using microsuction, ear irrigation, or special instruments. Cotton buds should never be used at home.
See an ENT if you have hearing loss, ear pain, discharge, or if home ear drops do not clear the blockage.
