Earwax Blockage & Ear Pain

Small problems that can cause big discomfort — safely resolved by a specialist

Feeling Fullness, Pain or Muffled Hearing in Your Ear?

It could be a wax buildup or inflammation.

While often overlooked, excessive earwax or infection can cause significant discomfort and hearing changes.

Dr. Peerbaccus offers expert evaluation and safe treatment options in Mauritius.

Understanding Earwax (Cerumen)

Earwax is a natural substance that protects and lubricates the ear canal.

However, impaction (buildup) can lead to symptoms such as:

– Pressure or pain
– Blocked or muffled hearing
– Tinnitus
– Dizziness
– Itching or discharge

Cotton buds often worsen the problem by pushing wax deeper.

When Earwax Becomes a Problem

You may need treatment if you experience:

– Sudden hearing loss in one ear
– Pain or a feeling of blockage
– Persistent itching or discharge
– Tinnitus or dizziness
– History of narrow or curved ear canals

What Else Can Cause Ear Pain?

Not all ear pain comes from earwax.

Dr. Peerbaccus evaluates for other causes such as:

– Otitis externa (outer ear infection)
– Otitis media (middle ear infection)
– Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues
– Barotrauma (pressure-related pain from flying or diving)
– Sinus or throat conditions that refer pain to the ear

Safe & Painless Treatment Options

Dr. Peerbaccus provides:

– Microsuction earwax removal
– Irrigation or curettage
– Medical treatment for infections
– Pressure equalisation advice
– ENT follow-up if symptoms are recurring
