The How, why and what of...
Wax Removal
While earwax doesn’t necessarily block your ears, it certainly doesn’t help.
In fact, most blocked ears come from at-home removal; people try to clean their ears and only succeed in pushing the wax further in, compacting it tighter.
Symptoms Of Excess Earwax
The most common and obvious sign of a build-up of earwax is hearing loss. It typically comes on quite suddenly and only in one ear, indicating a blockage.
It’s usually only temporary, but may be accompanied by tinnitus, which is a ringing in the ear.
Pain in the ear isn’t common with a simple blockage, but unremoved earwax can lead to an infection, and that can result in severe discomfort.
An infected inner ear can show symptoms of fever, discharge, dizziness, and even a bad smell.
How We Remove Earwax
When it comes to your health, it’s always best left to the professionals, even something as innocuous as earwax removal.
If your ears are blocked, it’s never a good idea to attempt to dig out the wax yourself. Not only will you never get it all, but there’s a good chance you’ll injure your ear in the process.
Worst case scenario, you do some permanent damage that affects your hearing for the rest of your life.
By coming to us, you know you’re in good hands.
We skilfully and effectively remove the wax from the inner ear, using specialist instruments like a microscope to illuminate and magnify the canal.
The procedure is quick, safe, and painless, carried out by professionals with years of experience.
