EARWAX REMOVAL

Gentle care for healthy, happy ears.

Earwax (or cerumen, if we’re being fancy) is your ear’s natural self-cleaning system. It traps dust, debris, and bacteria, and usually moves out of the ear on its own. But sometimes, wax builds up or gets pushed too far in—and that’s when it can start to cause problems. Our professional earwax removal services are here to help you feel clearer, more comfortable, and confident that your ears are in good hands.

SIGNS OF POSSIBLE EARWAX IMPACTION

A little wax is normal. But too much can lead to symptoms like:

  • A feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear

  • Reduced hearing or muffled sound

  • Itching or irritation

  • Tinnitus (ringing or buzzing)

  • Occasional dizziness or imbalance

  • Trouble using hearing aids or earbuds

If you're experiencing any of these, it's worth having your ears checked—especially before trying to remove the wax yourself (we see a lot of cotton swab mishaps!).

ONGOING EAR CARE & PREVENTION

For some people, wax builds up more often—due to ear shape, skin type, or frequent earbud/hearing aid use. We’ll help you:

  • Understand your wax pattern and how often you may benefit from cleanings

  • Learn what not to put in your ears (hint: cotton swabs, candles, and DIY kits are on that list)

  • Set up a routine care plan if you’re someone who tends to build up wax regularly

SAFE, COMFORTABLE REMOVAL

We use safe, evidence-based methods to gently remove wax, depending on your needs and comfort:

  • Manual removal – using specialized tools under magnification

  • Irrigation or flushing – a controlled rinse with warm water (only when appropriate)

Your provider will assess your ear health first and choose the method that’s safest and most effective for you.
