If you've noticed hearing problems, they could be affecting your life more than you think. Here are some common issues related to wax buildup.
Are Your Ears Feeling a Little Blocked?
Ear Hygiene
Using cotton buds can push wax deeper inside the ears, and overusing ear drops can irritate the ear canal. Seeking professional assistance is the safest way to manage ear wax.
Prolonged Irritation
Hardened wax can irritate the ear canal, causing irritation and itchiness. Scratching the itch or using cotton buds can worsen the irritation or push the wax further in.
Blocked Sensation
Feelings of fullness within the ear can often cause discomfort and become distracting until the blockage is addressed.
Headaches or Pressure
Impacted wax that presses against the eardrum can cause pressure that results in headaches or discomfort around the ears, face and jaw.
Ear Infections
When wax accumulates, it can trap moisture and bacteria inside, creating an environment for nasty infections.
Hearing Aid Malfunction
Wax buildup can clog hearing aids, reducing their performance or even causing them to stop working entirely.

Choose Us & Hear The Difference
Here’s How Prouse & Co Can Help:
We understand that dealing with ear wax buildup can be frustrating, which is why we prioritise the micro-suction technique for removal—it's safer, quicker, and more effective than traditional ear syringing
It’s important to remember that some underlying hearing issues, such as age-related hearing loss, may not be resolved by wax removal alone.
If you’re concerned about any other issues regarding your hearing, please feel free to discuss them with us! We’re always here to help.
Restore Hearing
By removing earwax, we can immediately improve sound clarity and volume, allowing you to enjoy conversations and ambient sounds without muffling.
Restore Natural Defences
Removing excessive wax can restore the ear canal’s self-cleaning mechanism, allowing normal earwax production to protect the ears from dust and microbes.
Prevent Ear Infections
Our safe procedure can clear the ear canal of wax buildup, helping to prevent outer ear infections by reducing moisture and bacteria growth.
Earphones & Hearing Aids
With the removal of earwax, we can ensure a better fit and function for hearing aids and earphones, improving overall comfort and sound transmission.
Relieve Discomfort
Impacted wax can cause otalgia (ear pain), and removal of the blockage provides instant relief from discomfort and irritation.
Reduce Ear-Related Tension
Suffering from headaches is a common issue with wax buildup. By removing earwax, we can alleviate your symptoms and provide overall relief.
What Our Customer’s Say
-
“Being a teaching assistant, I was having trouble hearing the kids at school and even my husband, which I jokingly said was sometimes quite useful! I thought I was going to need a hearing aid, but I was so relieved to find out it was just a simple case of wax buildup. The wax removal process was painless, quick, and actually quite fun in a strange way! I can’t believe the difference it made. At a recent wedding, I could hear everyone so clearly. I’m very, very grateful for the fantastic service. Thank you!”
