Earwax Impaction treatment in Hermosillo

An earwax plug is the buildup of wax in the ear canal that ends up partially or completely blocking it. Earwax is normal and protective, but sometimes it becomes compacted and does not come out on its own.

Frequent symptoms:

• A feeling of a blocked ear
• Decreased hearing on one side
• Ringing or slight discomfort
• Occasionally, mild dizziness

When to see a doctor? It is worth seeking care if the discomfort persists or pain appears, and avoid inserting cotton swabs or objects, since they tend to push the wax further in.

Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the one who examines and resolves this blockage safely; a general practitioner can also provide guidance at a first visit. Seeing a professional prevents injuring the ear by trying to remove it at home.
