At NeuroHear, we provide professional cerumen removal for patients in New Jersey and the surrounding areas. While earwax, or cerumen, is a natural and protective substance, an excessive amount can cause hearing difficulties, ringing in the ears, or general discomfort. Our approach to cerumen removal prioritizes safety and effectiveness, ensuring your ear health is maintained without the risks associated with at-home methods. By receiving care from one of the professionals at NeuroHear, you protect your ears while improving symptoms of buildup.
What Is Cerumen Removal?
Cerumen removal is a procedure designed to clear excess earwax from the ear canal. Earwax can serve as a barrier against bacteria, debris, and foreign particles. When wax accumulates, it can block sound waves, leading to hearing difficulties and irritation. At NeuroHear, cerumen removal is performed by an experienced audiologist using specialized tools and techniques that ensure your ear canal and eardrum remain unharmed.

Benefits of Cerumen Removal
Professional cerumen removal offers immediate and long-term improvements for your hearing health. By clearing excess earwax, you may notice enhanced sound clarity and speech understanding, which can improve communication in everyday situations. Many patients also experience relief from symptoms such as ringing in the ears, pressure, or a sensation of fullness. Safe removal reduces the risk of infections and irritation that can occur when wax remains trapped in the ear canal. For individuals who wear hearing aids, routine cerumen management ensures that devices function optimally without blockage or interference.
What Happens During a Cerumen Removal Appointment?
When you arrive for your appointment, Dr. Ina Selita will begin with a visual exam of your ear canal and eardrum to determine the extent of your wax buildup. Depending on your needs, she may use instruments such as curettes, suction, or irrigation systems to gently and effectively remove the cerumen. The procedure is quick, comfortable, and completed in the office. Many patients notice an immediate improvement in hearing and relief from symptoms of fullness in the ear or tinnitus.
Why Is Professional Cerumen Removal Important?
Removing earwax at home with cotton swabs, candles, or other objects often pushes wax deeper into the canal or can damage the ear structures. Professional removal ensures that earwax is removed safely and effectively, while protecting your hearing in the process. Regular cerumen management can prevent infections, reduce discomfort, and improve the performance of hearing aids or other listening devices. At NeuroHear, we emphasize preventative ear care as part of your overall auditory wellness.
