What is Ear Wax?
Ear wax (medically known as cerumen) is a natural, self cleaning substance made up of glandular secretions, fatty acids, oils, dead skin cells and dust.
Ear wax is totally natural and shouldn’t be considered ‘dirty’. Everyone has it, but some people produce more than others. Also, we all have different shaped ear canals and some canals can make it hard for ear wax to move to the outer ear.
A build up of ear wax may cause dizziness, pain and can significantly reduce the ability to hear normally. Wearing hearing aids or headphones / air pods can make ear wax build up even worse.
If you are in need of your ear wax removing, we can come to you in the comfort of your own home.
