Ear Wax Removal Service at Chappells Pharmacy
Restore your hearing clarity and comfort with our professional ear wax removal service. Chappells Pharmacy offers safe and effective microsuction ear wax removal performed by our specially trained professionals, providing relief from blockages without the discomfort or mess associated with traditional irrigation methods.
Ear Wax Removal
Excessive ear wax (cerumen) is a common condition that can cause:
- Temporary hearing loss or muffled hearing
- Earache or a sensation of fullness in the ear
- Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- Itchiness or irritation in the ear canal
- Dizziness or balance problems
- Increased risk of ear infections
When left untreated, impacted ear wax can significantly impact your quality of life and may lead to complications. Our gentle microsuction technique safely removes problematic ear wax, providing immediate relief and improved hearing.
Ear wax removal is recommended for:
- Individuals experiencing symptoms of ear wax blockage
- People who produce excessive ear wax naturally
- Those who wear hearing aids (as these can stimulate wax production)
- Individuals with narrow or hairy ear canals
- People who have previously had ear surgery
- Those who regularly use earbuds or earplugs
- Elderly individuals (as ear wax tends to be drier and more problematic with age)
- Anyone unable to safely remove ear wax at home
- Individuals with a history of impacted ear wax
- People with developmental disabilities who may have difficulty with ear cleaning
Ear wax removal is NOT recommended for:
- Individuals with prior ear surgery.
