3. Our Vision How Professional Earwax Removal Helps With Tinnitus Earwax build may cause tinnitus symptoms, so, removing it is essential. However, there are several misconceptions about earwax. People often try to remove earwax by following methods that are actually useless and potentially harmful: • Using cotton swabs to get earwax out – It, unfortunately, pushes the earwax deeper into the ear canal • Ear candling – Can be harmful if not done correctly, it can burn and damage the ear canal as well as the ear drum. • Using hot oils – Again,if not done correctly,it can also burn and damage the inner ears. Professional earwax removal performed by skilled professionals is completely safe and more effective. By removing the built up earwax, the blockage in the ears are cleaned. And Tinnitus symptoms caused by excessive earwax are often reduced.
