Ear Wax Removal

Ear wax blockage occurs when ear wax (cerumen) accumulates in your ear and becomes too hard to wash away naturally.

Ear wax is a helpful and natural part of your body's defenses. It protects your ear canal by trapping dirt and slowing the growth of bacteria. It's not known why some people experience ear wax blockage or why ear wax blockage often occurs in only one ear.

If ear wax blockage becomes a problem, our doctors can take simple steps to remove the wax safely.
