Ready to Learn Hands-On How to Remove Wax? 

Advanced Cerumen Management

Safe, Effective, and Evidence-Based Techniques for Hearing Healthcare Providers

October 22nd | Chicago, IL | 4 CEUs | Hands-On Training

Led by Dr. Bopanna Ballachanda

Former President of the American Academy of Audiology

Think earwax is just a nuisance? Think again.

Cerumen impaction can derail diagnostics, delay treatment plans, and send your patients elsewhere. But when you’re trained to manage it yourself—safely, efficiently, and confidently—you keep control of the care journey.

This is not your average lecture. This is advanced, hands-on training in the art and science of cerumen removal.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to analyze the external ear canal for safe and effective removal

  • When to use manual tools, irrigation, or suction—and when not to

  • How to follow infection control protocols and avoid complications

  • How to reduce outside referrals and delays in hearing aid fittings or tinnitus treatment

Why Attend

Because being able to remove cerumen on the spot means faster care, better diagnostics, fewer delays—and happier patients. It’s time to stop outsourcing this essential part of hearing healthcare.
