  • Blocked sensation- a feeling of fullness in the ear.

  • Hearing Loss

  • Earache

  • Tinnitus- A noise in the ear.

  • Vertigo- feeling dizzy and sick.

What causes ear wax build up ?

The amount of ear wax produced varies from person to person. Too much ear wax build-up is due to a disruption of the self-cleaning mechanism of the ear canal. This can be due to the following reasons: 

  • The use of cotton buds or other objects to remove ear wax causes more harm than good, as it can push the ear wax deeper and create a blockage.

  • Hearing aid wearers and frequent use of earphones or earplugs prevent the ear wax from naturally coming out of the ear.  

  • More common in the elderly as ear wax becomes dry and hard as we age. 

  • Narrow or abnormal-shaped ear canals. 

  • Lots of hair in the ear canal.  

  • Exposure to water  

If you are experiencing a build of excess ear wax, no need to suffer, we provide professional ear wax removal in Leigh at the comfort of your home.
