Ear Wax Removal Service

About ear wax

Earwax is a natural substance that forms in the ear canal and protects the inner ear from dirt, dust and other foreign particles. Its consistency can range from dry to wet, typically yellow or brown. When too much wax build-up (known as impacted earwax), it can cause problems with hearing.

Regularly cleaning the outer ear with cotton swabs or other items should be avoided as this can push the wax further down into the ear canal, leading to impacted earwax. Instead, an over-the-counter earwax softener can help remove the wax safely and effectively. We understand the importance of healthy ears and are here to help keep them that way.

What causes ear wax build-up?

Some common causes of excess build-up include:

• An overly active production of cerumen due to genetics or medical conditions like allergies or eczema

• The use of earbuds, cotton swabs and other objects that push the wax deeper into the ear canal

• Excessive exposure to dust, dirt or water

• Not cleaning the ears regularly or thoroughly enough

• Having narrow or damaged ear canals

• Having lots of hair in your ear canals

• Having a skin condition affecting your scalp or around your ear

• Having an inflammation of your ear canal (otitis externa or "swimmer's ear")
