Why Remove Ear Wax?
Ear wax is a vital and natural secretion found in the ear. It plays an important role in keeping the ear canal lubricated and provides protection against dust, dirt, and bacteria, helping to prevent infections.
However, excessive ear wax build-up can lead to gradual hearing loss and discomfort which can impact on your quality of life. You may benefit from ear wax removal if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Gradual hearing loss
Excess ear wax can block the ear canal, making sounds feel muffled or distant. This can be especially noticeable when there is additional background noise.
Earache or a feeling of blocked ears
A build-up of wax may cause discomfort, pressure, or a plugged sensation.
Ringing or buzzing in your ears (tinnitus)
Excess wax can irritate the ear canal, leading to persistent noise in your ears.
Vertigo & dizziness
Wax build-up can impact the balance organs in your ear, causing dizziness or unsteadiness.
How to Clean Ears Safely
If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, professional ear irrigation is a safe and effective solution. At Weardale Ear Care, I specialise in removing ear wax safely, ensuring your ear health is my top priority.
What Is Ear Irrigation?
Ear irrigation is a straightforward, painless procedure designed to gently flush out excess wax, improving your hearing and relieving discomfort. This modern method is much safer than using cotton buds or other home remedies, which can push wax further into the ear canal or cause injury.

Removing excess ear wax offers more than just relief from discomfort. It can improve your hearing, reduce unpleasant symptoms like tinnitus or dizziness, and enhance your overall ear health. At Weardale Ear Care, I provide safe and effective ear irrigation, so you can enjoy these benefits and more.
