The wax in your ears tends to do a great job of taking care of itself. In addition to keeping your ears healthy and protecting your ear canal from damage and debris, it’s also self-cleaning. Once your earwax has dried up, it usually falls out on its own so you don’t usually need to do anything about it.
However, occasionally wax can end build up in your ears and lead to functional problems like dizziness, pain, and hearing loss. Excessive earwax can be caused by many different factors and becomes more likely the older we get because wax becomes drier with age.
Your ears are sensitive and are easily damaged so you shouldn’t try dealing with excessive wax on your own. Instead, you should contact a GP, hearing specialist, or a pharmacy like Touchwood Pharmacy. Using gentle and specialized tools, professionals can safely and easily remove excessive earwax in just one short appointment.

People with narrow or damaged ear canals are more susceptible to developing a buildup of ear wax as are those with a lot of hair in their ear canals. Certain skin conditions and types of ear inflammation can also cause excessive earwax.
In addition to the symptoms above, a build up of wax can cause vertigo, tinnitus, and feeling like your ears are blocked. The symptoms can sometimes be so severe that a person’s quality of life is seriously impacted. These symptoms can be easily and quickly relieved with the ear wax removal services offered at Touchwood Pharmacy.
