Ear wax, it’s one of those things most of us don’t think about until it becomes a problem. But if you’re noticing muffled hearing, blocked ears or even dizziness, it could be time to consider professional ear wax removal.
At Moor Hearing, we offer quick, safe and affordable ear wax removal for people across Devon and Cornwall, either at our Plymouth clinic or in the comfort of your own home.
Here’s everything you need to know.
What is Ear Wax and Why Do We Have It?
Ear wax (also known as cerumen) is a natural substance produced by your body to protect your ears. It helps keep dust, dirt and bacteria from reaching your inner ear.
Normally, ear wax moves out of the ear canal naturally, but sometimes it can build up and become impacted. That’s when issues can start.
Signs You Might Have a Wax Build-Up
Impacted ear wax can cause a range of symptoms, including:
- Reduced hearing
- A blocked or full feeling in your ears
- Itching or discomfort
- Tinnitus (ringing or buzzing sounds)
- Dizziness or balance issues
- Occasional coughing (due to ear canal nerves)
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting checked out.
Why Choose Professional Plymouth Ear Wax Removal?
GPs and NHS practices no longer offer ear wax removal as a routine service, which means many people are left wondering where to turn.
At Moor Hearing, we specialise in microsuction, a safe and gentle method of removing wax using suction and precision tools. It’s quick, pain-free, and usually completed in a single visit. If the wax is particularly stubborn or hardened, we might use irrigation or arrange a follow-up appointment.
We always recommend using oil drops 3–4 days before your appointment to soften the wax.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Whether you come to our Plymouth clinic or book a home visit, you’ll receive professional care and clear communication throughout.
Here’s what happens:
- We’ll check your ears to see if wax is present.
- If wax is found, we’ll safely remove it using microsuction or irrigation.
- If no wax is present, we’ll discuss other possible causes of your hearing issues and may recommend a full hearing assessment.
