Earwax Removal in Langley and Maple Ridge, BC
Earwax will usually take care of itself. It’s your body’s way to clean your ear canal and push out any dirt. But sometimes earwax becomes impacted against the eardrum or completely blocks the ear canal, which can affect your hearing. In some cases, earwax buildup can even cause tinnitus, a ringing in your ears. That’s why sometimes addressing hearing loss is as simple as earwax removal.
However, if you’ve been experiencing persistent hearing issues, it might not just be due to earwax buildup. It is very important to schedule a hearing test. A hearing test can help determine if there are other underlying issues causing you to loss your hearing or if earwax is the sole cause.
You may be tempted to try to remove earwax using a cotton swab. Don’t. If earwax doesn’t come out on its own, try using ear drops. You can find them in the drug store or supermarket. Ear drops soften earwax so it comes out more easily during your next shower or bath. If the problem persists, consider scheduling an appointment with us for professional earwax removal and a hearing test.
