One of the most misunderstood byproducts of life, earwax can be beneficial to you but also cause issues if not handled correctly. Many people are unaware of these issues. In order to address this, let's examine what earwax is, how it functions, and how to appropriately remove it should the need arise.

Earwax, also known as cerumen, is one of the main defense compounds your body produces. Its main function is to safeguard the sensitive ear canal lining as well as your eardrums. Earwax is produced by glands inside the ear canal, and it's vital to know why it's not always something you should get rid of.

Earwax serves more uses than just plugging your ears, the purpose of the sticky, greasy substance is to capture any dust, grit, or debris that gets inside the ears and keep it out of the way of the sensitive ear drum.

Gone are the days of wrestling with cotton swabs and fretting about damaging your ear drum! Microsuction ear wax removal is rapid, painless, and requires no preparation.

Sometimes ear wax can become hard and uncomfortable and therefore difficult to shift without professional support. Call us on 01482 654111 and book in for an appointment with our specialist team.
