Ear Wax Removal Service

Why Choose Our Earwax Removal Service?

Earwax, or cerumen, is a natural substance produced by the ears to protect your ear canals. It acts as a barrier against water, dust, dirt, and bacteria, helping to keep your ears healthy. While earwax usually exits the ear on its own, some people experience buildup that can cause discomfort or hearing issues. In fact, earwax buildup affects around 2.3 million people each year.

Why Does Earwax Build Up?

• Excess earwax can occur for several reasons, including:
• Faster earwax production than natural removal.
• Narrow ear canals that promote buildup.
• Drier, thicker earwax in people over 50.
• Use of cotton buds, hearing aids, or in-ear headphones pushing wax further inside.

Signs You May Need Earwax Removal:

Symptoms of earwax buildup include:

• Hearing loss or earache
• A blocked feeling in the ears
• Ringing or buzzing (tinnitus)
• Itchiness inside the ear

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, our trained healthcare team can assess your ears and remove excess earwax safely.
