Wax Removal
Ear wax buildup is one of the most common causes of temporary hearing loss and discomfort. At Sense of Hearing, our certified hearing care professionals provide safe, effective ear wax removal using professional-grade equipment and techniques. Whether you are experiencing muffled hearing, a feeling of fullness in the ear, or discomfort, our team can help. We use gentle methods including curette removal and irrigation, depending on the type and extent of the buildup. The procedure is quick, painless, and often provides immediate relief. We recommend against using cotton swabs or at-home ear candling, as these can push wax deeper or cause injury.
