When Earwax Starts to Affect Your Hearing

Earwax buildup is often gradual, but the impact becomes noticeable over time. Sounds may feel muffled, your ears may feel blocked, and hearing aids may start to produce feedback or perform inconsistently, making everyday listening more difficult than it should be.

Buildup is more likely if you often use cotton buds, wear hearing aids or earphones, have narrow ear canals, or as you get older. Learn why earwax builds up.

What Happens During Ear Cleaning?

Initial Assessment

We inspect your ear canal and eardrum with a video otoscope to check the amount and type of wax. You can watch on the screen and see inside your own ear.

Gentle Cleaning

Warm, purified water is gently introduced into the ear canal to soften and flush out the wax (ear irrigation). It’s quick, comfortable and effective for most blockages.

Post-Cleaning Check

We examine your ear again to make sure the canal is clear and healthy, and show you the results so you can see the difference.

Aftercare: Keeping Your Ears Healthy After Cleaning

Keep your ears dry for at least 24 hours — avoid swimming and hot tubs, and keep water out of your ears in the shower.
If you can’t avoid water, use doctor-approved earplugs.
Gently dry your outer ear with a soft towel after showering.
Don’t use cotton buds; they push wax back in and undo the cleaning.
Hearing aid users: clean your hearing aids regularly, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Book your next cleaning when you notice fullness, muffled hearing or irritation.
Contact a doctor straight away if you have increased pain, discharge, fever or worsening hearing after cleaning.

Rachel has been very helpful and patient in explaining the various products after doing a very detailed hearing tests on both ears. Her clear explanation of the shortcomings of my hearing has enabled me to move forward in purchasing the hearing aid. She is very thorough in every level of the process up to the equipment and eventual fitting of the hearing aid. Her pleasant disposition also provides me with the confidence and I am very happy and extremely satisfied with her service.

Excellent experience at Listening Lab with Salle. Besides an updated hearing test, she expertly adjusted my 3 year old Widex hearing aids for peak performance, something 2 different audiologists suboptimized previously in Capetown SA & Washington DC. Outstanding communication skills, knowledge & problem solving ability. 100% Recommend!

Farisha is amazing! I'm a matter of minutes, she diagnosed the problem with my hearing aids, replaced the filters and had me back functioning normally. I recommend her very highly!

I had a great experience at Listening Lab (Sunway Geo). The staff is very friendly, patient, and professional. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process. The environment was clean and welcoming, and the service felt very personalized. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable hearing care in Subang Jaya.

Just had a hearing test with Ms. Farisha today.
It was an eye-opener for me. Her explanation was crystal clear, and the service rendered was calm and welcoming.

I would recommend Rachel highly for her professional dealing with my elderly frail, impatient 92yo mother. Although she was stretched by us, she remained calm and answered all our questions honestly and without us feeling rushed. She helped us choose the appropriate aid without aggressive salesmanship. She spent time teaching how to use the new aid. My mother remains very happy with her new aid. Thank you, Rachel.

I came to this shop to tune my dad Signia hearing aid which was purchased outside. Unlike other shops, Miss Ho had no problem to accept and did the tuning according to my dad hearing test. The price also very reasonable. I am glad that my dad can hear again and surely we will come again in the future. Thank you.

We had the best service experience at Listening Lab. Ms. Rachel was professional, patient and great at listening to and addressing all our concerns. From start to finish, we were made to feel at ease and she did not pressure us to purchase the hearing aids at any point. Overall, very satisfied with the level of expertise shown by Ms. Rachel and excellent service provided.

I went to Listening Lab yesterday for a hearing assessment, and I’m really glad I did. Joyce assisted me throughout the session, and she was amazing. She is very experienced, gentle, and patient. She explained each step so clearly that I felt completely at ease the entire time.
The hearing test was free, and it turned out to be much simpler and not scary at all. I also learned a lot about my hearing condition thanks to her detailed explanations.
Highly recommend Listening Lab, especially if you’re nervous about getting your hearing checked for the first time!

Brought my father in for a consultation was attended by Mr Harbajan, who is very experienced and skillful with diagnosis and identifying the solution that helps to improve my father's hearing. Very comprehensive explanation of what is going on, and real world testing right outside his shop with a noisy escalator sound to demonstrate the effectiveness of the device. Very patient and no sales pressure at all, focusing on the patient's real needs.
