Impacted earwax is normally diagnosed by analyzing the symptoms and performing a physical examination using an otoscope to look into your ear for any wax buildup. Hearing tests may also be requested.

Treatment for impacted earwax in Singapore

You can treat earwax buildup with home treatments or by consulting your healthcare provider.
To soften earwax at home, put a few drops of mineral oil, baby oil, glycerin, or over-the-counter wax softening drops into the affected canal twice a day. Then, lie on one side to allow the oil to drain. That may be sufficient to remove the wax. The ear should next be gently flushed with warm water using a bulb-type syringe.
