What is earwax?
Earwax, or cerumen, is a natural substance produced by your ear to protect it from dust, microorganisms, and other foreign particles. While it usually clears itself naturally, sometimes earwax can build up and cause discomfort, hearing loss, or even infections. When this happens, professional earwax removal is the best solution.
How we do it
Initial assessment using camera and otoscope to take a detailed look into the ear canal. The images will then be assessed and the most appropriate options for wax removal discussed with the client.
