At Everything Ears, we understand that ear wax build-up can be uncomfortable and frustrating. Our professional ear wax removal services are designed to offer relief and improve your hearing. If you’re considering ear wax removal, here are some of the most frequently asked questions to help you better understand the process.

When done by a trained professional, ear wax removal is safe. At Everything Ears, we follow strict protocols to ensure your safety. Avoid attempting to remove ear wax at home with cotton buds, as this can push the wax further into the ear, potentially causing injury or an infection.
