Earwax Management
When Earwax Becomes a Problem
Earwax is natural and even beneficial, helping protect and lubricate your ears. But sometimes it builds up too much and causes issues such as hearing loss, discomfort, or even dizziness. At Hearing Care Partners, we provide safe, professional earwax removal to restore comfort and clarity.
Signs of Possible Excess Earwax
You may need earwax removal if you experience:
- Sudden or muffled hearing loss
- Earache or a feeling of fullness in the ear
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Dizziness or balance issues
- Hearing aid feedback or reduced performance
Why not remove earwax yourself?
Over-the-counter drops, ear candles, and cotton swabs often do more harm than good. Cotton swabs tend to push wax deeper into the ear canal, which can lead to impaction and infection. Ear candles can be dangerous and have not been proven effective. Professional removal is the best way to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
Our specialists may use:
- Gentle irrigation to flush out buildup
- Specialized tools to safely remove hardened wax
- Guidance on how to prevent future blockages
