Can Earwax Cause Hearing Loss?
Earwax is often a silent saboteur of your hearing. While it’s a natural defense mechanism, excessive buildup can lead to discomfort, muffled sounds, and even tinnitus (a ringing in your ears). If you’re experiencing hearing loss, earwax might be the culprit.
Earwax Removal in Davenport
Earwax removal by an audiologist is a safe and effective way to address hearing issues caused by excessive earwax buildup. Our skilled professionals use specialized tools and techniques to gently and thoroughly clear your ear canal, restoring your hearing and providing relief from discomfort.
Avoid do-it-yourself ear cleaning. When you use cotton swabs to clean the wax out of your ears you run the risk of pushing wax deeper into the ear canal creating a bigger blockage. Over-the-counter ear drops can help soften stubborn wax, but for persistent issues, professional intervention is essential. Unlike at-home methods that can push wax deeper into the ear, our expert care minimizes the risk of complications and ensures optimal results.
