What is Tympa Health?
Tympa Health is an advanced earwax removal system used by hearing healthcare professionals around the world, and available in New Zealand exclusively to Resonate Health. It uses microsuction (a bit like a tiny vacuum) to gently remove excess wax without flushing water into your ear. It’s proven to remove mild to severe wax buildup, and is much safer than risking damage to your ears by attempting to clean them at home.
Why do I produce earwax?
Earwax (also called cerumen) plays an important role in keeping our ears healthy. It traps dust, dirt, and bacteria so they don’t travel deeper into your ear, and keeps the skin inside your ear canal moisturised to prevent dryness and itching.
How often should I clean my ears?
Unless your earwax is causing problems with your hearing, it doesn’t need to be removed. Everyday movements, such as chewing, talking, or even yawning, help push wax toward the outer ear, where it can flake away naturally or be wiped away in the shower.
But sometimes earwax can build up and cause blockages (also called impaction). If you have a buildup of wax, you may experience reduced hearing, ears that feel “full”, itching or ringing sounds (tinnitus).
At Resonate Health, we use the world-leading Tympa Health system to gently suction wax from your ears. Here’s everything you need to know about it and what you can expect when you book a ClearEars appointment.
