At Brondesbury Medical Centre, we do not offer ear wax removal services. However, our clinicians can examine your ears to confirm if a plug of earwax has formed.
Natural Ear Wax Removal
Your ears are designed to naturally expel earwax. However, some individuals may experience a hard build-up that can cause symptoms such as hearing loss, discomfort, tinnitus, dizziness, or dulled hearing.
Self-Treatment for Ear Wax Build-Up
When to See a Clinician
You should see a clinician if:
- Your symptoms persist for more than 4 days
- Your ear is completely blocked and you cannot hear anything
- You experience severe pain, discharge, or itching
- You are concerned or worried about your symptoms
In some cases, a referral for specialist treatment, such as microsuction, may be considered. Please note that routine referrals often require a trial of one month of treatment before they are accepted, and there may be a waiting list for specialist services.
