Symptoms Of Ear Wax Removal

Ear-wax is normal to be produced in our ears but at times an excessive amount can cause;

  • Reduced hearing

  • Temporary hearing loss

  • Tinnitus

  • Itchiness and irritation

  • Vertigo

If you’re feeling one of the above symptoms, call to book a consultation and have your ears checked with one of our audiologists today.

 

If you have any unexplained symptoms not related to earwax build up, current vertigo or dizziness, numbness, altered taste, weakness, changes to vision, new hearing loss (within 1 week) you should instead see your doctor.
