Who should come in

Your ears feel plugged, full or under pressure
Your hearing got muffled slowly, in one ear or both
You hear a new ringing or buzzing
You wear hearing aids, earbuds or ear plugs most days
Your hearing aids sound weak, muffled or keep whistling

Please see a doctor first if you have ear pain, fluid or discharge from the ear, a fever, or hearing loss that came on suddenly. Those can be signs of something other than wax.

Before your visit

Skip the cotton swabs. They push wax deeper and make it harder to get out. If you have been using softening drops, let us know when you come in. Our ear cleaning guide explains what is safe at home and compares the common methods.

After the wax is out

If your ears still feel blocked or sounds are still muffled once the wax is gone, a hearing test will show whether something else is going on. Hearing aid wearers can also have their hearing aids cleaned and checked, since wax is the most common reason they sound weak. See our hearing aid repairs page.
