Should I remove earwax?
Earwax plays an important role in keeping your ears healthy. It helps protect the ear canal from dust, dirt, and bacteria, and keeps the skin inside your ears moisturised. In most cases, your ears naturally clean themselves, so routine earwax removal isn't needed.
However, earwax can sometimes build up and cause symptoms such as muffled hearing, discomfort, itching, a feeling of fullness, or ringing in the ears (tinnitus). When earwax becomes impacted, professional earwax removal can help relieve symptoms safely and effectively.
The need for earwax removal varies from person to person. If you notice ongoing symptoms or changes in your hearing, it's best to seek professional advice rather than trying to remove earwax yourself.

How often should you have the treatment?
Everyone makes different amounts of wax and at different speeds. Some people need regular appointments to manage this, others only need occasional ones. Your practitioner will recommend what’s best for you.
