❓How do I know if I have excess earwax?

➡️- Hearing loss is the most obvious sign that you may need to have wax removed from your ear. There are a few other slow-growing signs that you can look out for, especially if you have a history of compacted earwax.

➡️ - Ear pain

Usually resulting purely from pressure on the ear canal, if the wax has been pushed deep into the ear, the pain may come from direct pressure on the eardrum as well.

➡️ - Cough

This is actually caused by the hard wax pressing a nerve called the vagus nerve which runs along the ear. The pressure can excite the nerve and make you cough despite your throat being clear.

➡️- A ‘full’ ear

If the hard wax is pressing equally around the ear canal, then it is experienced as a sensation of fullness inside the ear.

Ear MicroSuction is available at Kirkby Chemist, if you have excessive ear wax , come and get checked and treated.
