Here to Help you Hear
Ear wax removal is no longer a core service offered by the NHS. That means you might have difficulty getting your ear wax removed by your GP. Discretion Hearing Ltd based in Southport provides an ear wax removal service that can be carried out in our central Southport clinic, or at your own home.
We use the latest microsuction equipment to remove pain-free, comfortable ear wax removal.
Our ears are self-cleaning; two glands (sebaceous and ceruminous) create ear wax (cerumen) which protects the eardrum from damage and is lubricating and antibacterial.
The skin in our ears grows from the inside out, so old skin flakes off the outside of the ear. Ear wax catches dead skin, hair, and dirt in the ears and holds it, then when the jaw moves to chew food, etc, the wax is moved towards the opening of the ear, taking all that captured junk with it.
Unfortunately, people now wear in-ear headphones or poke inside the ear canal with cotton buds. This pushes the ear wax back further into the ear canal, causing a build-up, and sometimes a blockage.
At Discretion Hearing Ltd Southport, our audiologist will inspect your ears thoroughly to ensure there are no underlying medical conditions that may be causing problems before using the latest microsuction procedure to remove any ear wax blockage.
Ear wax build up can lead to many symptoms including:
