Earwax Removal

Service

Why Choose This Service?

Earwax is a natural substance produced by the ear to protect and maintain ear health. It consists of a combination of dead skin cells, cerumen (a wax-like secretion), dust, and other particles.

Earwax plays a vital role in:

Preventing water from entering the ear canal.
Trapping dirt and dust to keep the ear clean.
Reducing the growth of bacteria and fungi.

In most cases, earwax naturally clears itself from the ear. However, for some individuals, earwax can build up and block the ear canal, requiring professional removal. Each year, an estimated 2.3 million people experience issues with earwax buildup that need specialist support.

Our service ensures safe, effective, and professional earwax removal to restore your ear health and comfort.

What Causes Excess Earwax?

Excess earwax can result from several factors, leading to the need for support in its removal:

Natural Overproduction: Some individuals produce earwax faster than the ear can expel it, resulting in build-up and blockages.
Smaller Ear Canals: A narrower ear canal can make it harder for earwax to naturally exit, causing accumulation.
Ageing: As you age, especially over 50, earwax tends to become drier, and thicker ear canal hair can contribute to blockages.
Cotton Bud Usage: Using cotton buds can push earwax deeper into the ear instead of removing it.
Devices in the Ear: Hearing aids, earplugs, and in-ear headphones may push earwax further into the ear canal, leading to blockages.

Understanding these causes can help identify the best methods for managing and removing excess earwax effectively.
