Is ear wax build-up affecting your hearing?
At Ashgrove Clinic in Higham Ferrers, we offer professional ear wax removal services to alleviate discomfort and improve hearing clarity.
Ear wax, or cerumen, is a natural substance produced by the body to protect and lubricate the ear canal. While it usually clears itself without issue, excessive wax build-up can lead to symptoms such as muffled hearing, a feeling of fullness, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), dizziness, or even discomfort and pain.
Factors like narrow ear canals, regular use of earphones, or using cotton buds can make the problem worse by pushing wax deeper. Left untreated, impacted wax can lead to infections or more serious complications, so it’s important to seek professional help when symptoms arise.
At Ashgrove, we offer gentle, professional ear wax removal. We use safe, modern techniques such as microsuction—a quick and comfortable method that uses a small, specialized suction device to clear the wax without the use of water.
This approach is particularly suitable for sensitive ears or those with a history of ear infections. Each appointment includes a full assessment to ensure your ears are healthy and the treatment is appropriate. Most clients experience immediate relief and improved hearing after just one session. We’re here to help you hear clearly and comfortably again.
Georgie Noble says:
“Your hearing can be badly affected by ear wax. If you live with someone who keeps turning the TV volume up if might be due to ear wax.”
