Why Some Patients Need Two Sessions for Wax Removal

When it comes to earwax removal, majority of people would only be required to have one session as the methods used are generally quite efficient at clearing the wax effectively. However, it is pretty common for some people to have two of more sessions depending on their ear condition and history of earwax build up.

Some people generally produce more wax naturally than others which is often more hard and dry in texture. This wax if not treated can build up quite easily and case the ears to become blocked. Once the earwax becomes impacted, it required professional treatment to have this removed which is not always possible in one single session.

Blocked or impacted earwax can become uncomfortable to removed depending on the severity of this. Your clinician may recommend having this done in two sessions to cause limited stress and discomfort rather than having it done all in one session. Ears can sometimes become sensitive or irritated depending on the method used, therefore splitting the session into two will minimise any discomfort and risks.

Earwax when blocked can become packed tightly towards the eardrum and may sometimes require two sessions to have this fully cleared. The clinician may remove a little wax at a time and may recommend to use ear drops before coming back for another session if the blockage is too built up and difficult to be removed fully in one appointment. Whatever the reason, two sessions would normally be recommended
