If you’ve been struggling with blocked ears, muffled sounds, or ringing in your ears, earwax build-up could be to blame. While earwax (or cerumen) plays a natural and important role in protecting your ears, too much of it can lead to discomfort and even temporary hearing loss.
At Help in Hearing, we offer safe, professional earwax removal in our Marlow, Farnham Common, and Henley-on-Thames clinics—helping you feel clearer, more comfortable, and more confident in your daily life
Earwax acts as your ears’ natural defence system, trapping dust and debris, preventing infections, and keeping the ear canal lubricated. In most cases, the ears are self-cleaning—but sometimes this process doesn’t work as it should.
When earwax builds up or becomes impacted, it can cause:
It’s tempting to try removing wax at home using cotton buds or other tools, but this often pushes the wax deeper—and can risk damaging the delicate ear canal.
At Help in Hearing, our ENT-trained clinicians use advanced, gentle techniques like microsuction, irrigation, and instrumentation to safely remove excess wax. Here’s how it can improve your daily life:
1. Improved Hearing, Instantly
Once earwax is removed, sound can travel freely through the ear canal again. Many people experience immediate relief and noticeably sharper hearing—restoring a sense of connection to the world around them.
2. Relief from Pressure and Discomfort
Blocked ears can cause a feeling of pressure, discomfort, or even pain. Clearing out the wax relieves these symptoms and can also reduce tinnitus or that persistent ringing sound.
3. Better Balance and Fewer Dizziness Episodes
Wax build-up can interfere with your ear’s balance system. Removing it often leads to a greater sense of stability and comfort—especially when walking, exercising, or turning your head.
4. Reduced Risk of Infection
Impacted wax can trap moisture in the ear canal, creating an environment where bacteria thrive. Professional wax removal lowers the risk of infections, keeping your ears clean, dry, and healthy.
