Ear wax, or cerumen, is essential for maintaining healthy ears. It acts as a protective barrier against dust, bacteria, and foreign particles. However, when wax builds up and becomes impacted, it can lead to temporary hearing loss and a range of uncomfortable symptoms. At Gentle Ear Care, we help clients across the UK restore clarity and comfort through safe, professional ear wax removal.
Impacted wax can often go unnoticed until it starts affecting your daily life. Watch for signs such as:
If you're experiencing one or more of these symptoms, it may be time to book a professional ear wax removal appointment.
When wax builds up inside the ear canal, it blocks the passage of sound to the eardrum. This creates a sensation similar to having your ears plugged after swimming or flying. Over time, untreated wax impaction can worsen and increase your risk of ear infections, which may further damage your hearing.
People who wear hearing aids, use earplugs regularly, or have narrow ear canals are particularly prone to wax buildup.
At Gentle Ear Care, we specialise in modern ear wax removal techniques that are both effective and gentle. Our most popular methods include:
A quick, clean, and comfortable technique that uses a small suction device to remove wax. No water is needed, making it ideal for people with sensitive ears.
A controlled flow of warm water is used to flush out wax. It’s suitable for clients without a history of ear infections or perforated eardrums.
Specialist tools are used under magnification to remove hard or stubborn wax. This method is highly precise and safe in professional hands.
While it’s tempting to try home methods like cotton buds or ear candles, they can do more harm than good. Cotton buds often push wax deeper, while candles are not only ineffective but dangerous.
Always consult a qualified professional for ear wax removal to protect your hearing and avoid injury.
We recommend booking an appointment if:
Some clients benefit from routine visits every 6 to 12 months, especially if wax builds up quickly.
