Ear Nose Throat

ENT consultation can be done once a year for routine check-ups of the ear, nose, and throat. However it is best to visit an ENT for problems like Ear wax,  hearing loss, ringing in the ear (tinnitus), ear discharge, pain in the ear, vertigo, chronic colds, or any other ENT-related problems.

Generally, ears make just enough wax to protect the ear canal from water and any infection. Sometimes, ears may produce more wax than usual, leading to the accumulation of wax in the ears.

The most common cause of impactions and infection due to ear wax is the use of cotton swabs (and other sharp objects), which removes only superficial wax but pushes the rest of the wax deeper into the ear canal. Earwax blockage is also more common in Hearing aid and earplug users.

The ear wax has both lubricating and antibacterial properties. Ear wax can lead to temporary ear blocks giving it a feeling of deafness, Untreated and impacted ear wax can lead to hearing loss sometimes permanent, irritation, pain in the ear, dizziness, ringing in the ears, and other problems.

The ears are self-cleaning. If you’re using earbuds or any other object to remove earwax or prevent its buildup, think again. Earwax is produced within the ear canal and is naturally thrown from deeper inside to outside the ear periodically, if this cycle is disturbed it leads to a collection of ear wax inside the ear canal. Hence ears don’t require any cleaning unless any problems with ear discharge or any other irritations.
