Ear wax removal is critical for preventing hearing loss. Ear wax plays an important role in keeping your ear clear of dust and other foreign debris that can affect your eardrum. Normally your ear wax washes out on its own, but it can become impacted and cause hearing loss or ear infections. This makes regularly cleaning your ears an important part of your overall hearing health.
How to Get Wax Out of Your Ear
Unfortunately, many common remedies for cleaning your ears, such as using cotton swabs, can actually make the problem worse. Putting anything in your ear canal runs the risk of pushing the ear wax further back and injuring your eardrum. Over-the-counter drops soften the wax, but can make the clogged sensation worse and are often ineffective at removing impacted wax.
Professional ear wax removal is fast and thorough. We can safely clean your ears of debris and built-up wax and check to make sure there aren’t any other issues affecting your hearing.
