Ear Wax Removal

Ear Wax Removal Livingston and West Lothian

Safe, Comfortable & Instant

I provided this service during Covid as an essential service.

Thankfully these days are behind us now. However, I no longer provide earwax removal as a service, I have chosen to focus on hearing assessments and the provision of hearing aids as I feel this better serves my customers and as such this service is only available to my existing customers.

Please call me as it likely I would be able to recommend another professional to assist you with your ear wax removal.

Fast Relief From Blocked Ears

Ear Wax A Real Problem For Hearing Aid Users

For a hearing aid user, ear wax removal can be an extremely important service. Sometimes with people that produce a lot of wax the ear canal can become blocked. Blocked ear canals and hearing aids don’t work well together. Having to put oil in for some days before the wax is removed leaves a hearing aid user in total isolation because they can’t wear their hearing aids. There is a better way, so I invested in both the equipment and the learning to introduce that service.

Earwax Blockage Symptoms

Do you suffer from any of these symptoms?

a feeling of fullness in the ear
the sensation of hearing everything muffled
mild tinnitus

If any of these symptoms sound familiar to you, then you could have excess ear wax blocking your ear canal.

How ear wax build-up occurs

Under normal circumstances a little wax in the ears is totally normal, in fact it is a very good thing. We need a little of it to maintain a healthy ear. Wax is produced inside the ear canal and it lubricates the skin and helps prevent dust and air borne bacteria from entering.

A normal ear canal has a self-cleaning mechanism, where the small hairs in the canal encourage the wax and shedded skin towards the canal entrance. If the ear canal is narrow or an unusual shape it is sometime impeded, resulting in a build-up of wax that may need removing by a qualified practitioner.

My Earwax
Removal Services

I offer ear wax removal by two methods, micro suction ear wax removal and irrigation ear wax removal. Impacted wax can affect the results of a hearing test and it also obscures the view of the eardrum, which stops us from viewing the health and condition of it. This is an important part of an overall hearing health assessment.

I noted that more and more of my customers were having difficulties obtaining earwax removal. So I decided to take action and undertook accredited instruction courses and now I am certified to remove wax. My earwax removal service is now an integral part of my wider hearing healthcare services.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused this service is now only available to my existing customers.

Why you should have
ear wax removed professionally

It is not advisable to use cotton buds to try and clear earwax, all it does is push the wax towards the ear drum. This causes even more problems and makes it more difficult to remove. You should definitely never poke anything into your ear trying to relieve the problem yourself. The old adage is true, ”put nothing smaller than your elbow in your ear”. The lining of the ear canal is very delicate and can easily be damaged. Leave it to me to remove the wax for you.

I use two methods for ear wax removal, dry removal via microsuction and low pressure irrigation, both are very safe and very effective. Although a certain amount of earwax is necessary and healthy, it can also effect the wearing of hearing instruments, so i advise regular check-ups of both your ears and your hearing aids.
