Examination first
We check whether the issue is wax or something that needs a physician.
Sometimes a hearing problem is a blocked ear canal. We can establish the difference quickly and plan appropriate care.
Ears clean themselves. Cotton swabs can push wax deeper and compact it. Ear candles do not work and can cause burns or eardrum injury.
If your ears feel blocked, the safest step at home is to leave them alone until a professional can examine them.
We check whether the issue is wax or something that needs a physician.
Removal is performed under direct view, not blindly. If we see infection, perforation, or anything unexpected, we stop and refer you.
Wax often affects hearing-aid function. We can test hearing afterward when appropriate.
In-home earwax removal is $150. Scheduling is typically within two weeks, sometimes sooner.
Sudden hearing loss, especially with dizziness, needs urgent medical attention. Do not wait for an appointment with us.
