EAR WAX REMOVAL

A build up of ear wax or cerumen is not uncommon. Symptoms include itchiness, crackling sounds, ear discomfort, increased awareness of tinnitus, dizziness and a generally blocked ear. 

​

Our body generally does a good job of dispensing our ear wax, but problems do still occur. A few drops of olive oil can work to soften the wax and for some people this will do the trick. If you need a convenient ear cleaning service at home for more stubborn wax, you really need to book an appointment with your GP or Audiologist.

​

There are three typical methods for ear wax removal: Mechanical Removal using instruments such as curettes or loop, Irrigation (or Syringing) which uses water flushed into the ear canal and removal by Microsuction which uses a low powered suction probe. We can provide all three methods during our home visits and in the majority of cases this results in successful ear wax removal.

​

Our ear wax removal appointments usually take around 30-45mins to complete.
