More than 35 million Americans, including one-third of the senior population, are affected by impacted earwax. Symptoms include conductive hearing loss, pain, vertigo, tinnitus, itching, and coughing. Approximately, 60-70% of all damaged hearing aids sent in for repair are simply clogged with earwax or degraded by organic materials. The earwax removal procedure is quite common but has seen little innovation over the last 200 years.
Let’s face it, a patient with impacted wax can wreak havoc on a schedule. If you have chosen not to perform cerumen management in your office, this means referring a patient out and rescheduling. If you’re lucky, you’ve only delayed treatment and revenue, not lost the patient completely. Today, patients expect an enhanced experience and the risk of that patient going elsewhere is real without the convenience that comes with all their services being completed the same day.
If you’ve chosen to perform cerumen management in your practice, you know that wax removal is messy and far from a relaxing experience. Often, the earwax needs to be softened, and the patient may still be sent home, and scheduled to return in few days. Both of these scenarios are cumbersome and do not provide the best patient experience.
