EAR WAX
CARE

Can earwax buildup lead to ear infections?

At Ear Wax Care, we are here to answer all of your questions related to your ear health. We want our customers to know they’re in safe hands. Backed up since 2014 by our team of NHS trained clinicians, we pride ourselves on the top standard care we offer, ensuring that individuals get the best out of their hearing. When it comes to ear wax, we frequently receive questions about the consequences of a buildup, which is what we will be addressing today.

Although there are many benefits of ear wax, such as cleaning your ears and protecting them from dust, dirt, and infection, they can also cause issues if there is too much. Excess ear wax could result in ear pain, itchiness, hearing loss and many other issues. This can occur for a number of reasons, such as using cotton buds, having a lot of ear hair, or having narrow ear canals.

In the long term if excess ear wax is not treated, it is possible that it will lead to an ear infection like swimmer’s ear. This will then lead to worsening symptoms, such as severe pain, itchiness, drainage, fever, dizziness and coughing.

Before you reach this stage, we would strongly suggest that you get in touch with our trusted team here at Ear Wax Care to talk about how to deal with excess ear wax. We may suggest a microsuction treatment, which is safe, quick and highly effective. Speak to us today to find out how we can help!
