Wax Removals
Ear wax also known as cerumen is produced by skin glands in the ear canal. It is normal to have wax in the ear as it serves to protect the ear. Wax is self-cleaning and therefore it is not necessary to use earbuds or any other object in the ear canal.
The reason for this is that you might damage your eardrum or push wax even deeper into the canal. However, some individuals are prone to wax build-up and in these cases the wax could block the ear canal causing a conductive hearing loss. It is then advised that a professional removes the wax.
How does it work?
Your audiologist will use an otoscope to look in the ear canal and would inform you if wax removal is necessary. We use different methods of removing wax including syringing with lukewarm water or using a curette, depending on the type and location of the wax. It might be necessary to first use a product to soften the wax to make the removal process easier.
Methods such as at home ear candling is not advised as it can be very dangerous.

Auditory Processing Evaluations (APD)
Auditory processing is commonly known as what a person’s brain does with the information their ear hears. The brain must correctly decipher what is heard by the ear in order to attach meaning to the particular sound. Auditory Processing incorporates the abilities of attending to, discriminating between, organising, recognising and understanding an auditory signal. Some signs of APD may include:
- Difficulty to following verbal instructions.
- Difficulty to hear in background noise
- Being easily distracted or struggling to remain attentive
- Struggling to following someone who talks fast or has a different accent
- Having learning, reading, spelling or writing difficulties
An audiologist is the only medical professional who can diagnose an auditory processing disorder. The Paarl Hearing Centre offers Auditory Processing evaluations and will guide you through the intervention process of improving your auditory processing skills.
