Earwax Removal in Cornelius, NC
If you’re dealing with fullness, reduced clarity, or a feeling of blocked ears, we provide quick, comfortable wax removal performed by a Doctor of Audiology.
Earwax Removal is important for maintaining healthy ears and optimal hearing. While earwax (cerumen) is a natural substance that protects the ear canal by trapping dirt and preventing infections, excessive buildup can cause problems.
It may be tempting to reach for a Q-Tip when your ears are feeling clogged, but this can exacerbate the problem or even lead to punctured ear drums. Having a professional clean your ears is the safest and most effective way to remove the wax.
