Cerumen (Earwax) Management

Safe, professional earwax removal.

Earwax buildup is one of the most common and most reversible causes of sudden hearing changes. Our safe, gentle removal is performed by a specialist, often with same-day appointments.

- What This Includes

Earwax is normal and healthy in the right amount, but too much can block the ear canal and cause muffled hearing, fullness, ringing, or even dizziness. It’s one of the few causes of hearing change that’s often completely reversible in a single visit.

Please do not use cotton swabs or ear candles at home, which usually push wax deeper and can damage the ear. Let a specialist remove it safely. Many patients are surprised how much their hearing improves the moment the blockage is cleared.

- FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is professional earwax removal safe?

Yes. When performed by a trained specialist, earwax removal is safe, gentle, and comfortable. It’s far safer than cotton swabs or ear candling, which can push wax deeper or injure the ear.

How do I know if I have an earwax blockage?

Common signs include a sudden feeling of fullness or muffled hearing in one ear, ringing, or mild dizziness. A quick ear inspection tells us right away whether wax is the cause.

Can I remove earwax at home?

We strongly recommend against cotton swabs and ear candles, which usually make things worse. If your ears feel blocked, a short in-office visit is the safe way to clear it.

Clear the blockage and hear clearly again.
