Gentle Ear Cleaning in Huntsville

Ear wax serves an important purpose! It shields the ear from dust, bacteria, and small objects that could enter the ear. Normally, wax moves out of the ear on its own and can be wiped or washed from the outer ear.

In some cases, wax may build up faster than it can exit the ear, leading to impacted wax.

We offer various methods for removing excessive ear wax, including wax softening drops, manual removal using a small tool called a curette, and gentle irrigation using water. These options can effectively address most ear wax issues.
