Cerumen commonly known as earwax are natural secretions that enable outer ear canals to clean themselves. However, the buildup of earwax if ignored may significantly impair hearing or cause pain in individuals. The prevalence of impacted earwax leading to complications or hearing impairment is propelling the need for wax removal tools.

The rising uptake of hearing aids across the global population is also increasing this prevalence. In addition, a rising elderly population needing hearing aids may need to get their earwax removed before the therapy. These factors are bolstering the demand for wax removal aids. Almost unanimously, physicians and ENT specialists discourage the use of cotton swabs as these are largely ineffective and most likely to accentuate the problem further.

Though various wax softeners are suggested as the first line of treatment, a variety of cases may call for the use of mechanical methods of removing earwax by professionals. The rising demand for various mechanical instruments for the removal of wax is a key factor accentuating the market. Contraindications to such methods and complications during and after the procedure are vital concerns that must be addressed before going through such methods. The growing demand for alternative treatments and advanced wax removal devices is catalyzing the expansion of the market.

Ear wax is known as cerumen, which is secreted in the ear canal, which protects the skin of the human ear canal, assists in cleaning and lubrication, and also provides protection from fungi, bacteria, insects, and water. Earwax usually does not cause problems but excessive production of earwax leads to blockage, pain, and hearloss. Earwax also affects the operation of hearing aids producing feedback noise and reducing the quality of sound. Approximately 12 million people a year in the U.S. seek medical care for impacted or excessive cerumen [earwax].

Serious problems occur when excess wax is produced within the ear canal and becomes impacted or compressed which leads to ear pain, sound distortion, persistent itching, unpleasant odor, ringing of the ear (tinnitus), discharge (an oozing substance that keeps appearing), persistent cough, hearing loss. Different wax removal techniques are used at home and by professionals. At home, wax-dissolving agents are used. Irrigation, Manual removal with special instruments, and suction are the removal techniques used by professionals.

Routine wax removal should be done to avoid complications and severe problems related to the ear. Many home care services are being provided for the removal of ear wax. Ear wax is removed by the doctor with the help of a small curved instrument, which is known as a curet.

War wax can also be removed or flushed out using a water pick or a rubber bulb syringe filled with warm water. Wax-removal medication, such as carbamide peroxide (Debrox Earwax Removal Kit, Murine Ear Wax Removal System) is also used. Hydrogen peroxide is an effective method of softening ear wax blocking the ear canal. Hydrogen peroxide allows ear wax to gradually soften, and removal by an irrigation method.
