Cerumen impaction can be treated at a local reputable hospital’s otolaryngology (ENT) department, where a physician will safely remove the impacted cerumen using specialized instruments. Alternatively, treatment may involve irrigation of the external auditory canal or suction removal. Patients should avoid frequently attempting to remove cerumen themselves, as this may injure the skin or mucosa of the external auditory canal.
