Wax removal

Ear wax — called cerumen — doesn’t get a lot of credit for its role in good ear health. It’s completely natural for your body to produce this sticky, waxy substance as part of the ear’s self-cleaning mechanism.

Ear wax traps tiny particles of dirt, dead skin cells and dust, filtering them out and away to protect the eardrum and the inner ear. The wax also lubricates the ear canal to prevent dryness or itching.

However, sometimes excessive ear wax can build-up in the ear canal and cause infections, earaches, and even hearing loss. This is why booking an appointment with a hearing care professional to remove any built up wax is important to ensure your ears are kept in tip top shape.
