Symptoms of earwax accumulation include the following:
If you’re a cotton swab addict, you’re actually increasing your chance of earwax impaction. While using these instruments (or your fingers) can help remove some wax, they actually push the remaining wax further into the ear. Additionally, you risk scratching the wall of your ear canal or perhaps puncturing your eardrum.

Yes. Ear wax removal was previously a free NHS treatment offered by GPs throughout England. However, beginning in 2020, ear wax removal became chargeable. It was established that ear wax removal would not be a mandatory service provided by general practitioners any longer.
Instead of that, it is advisable that you consult a pharmacist and attempt to eliminate the earwax build-up.
To attempt to dissolve ear wax so it falls out of the eardrum, medications and oils can be applied. This, however, can take several weeks and is not always successful. Whereas expert ear wax removal offers numerous advantages:
Professional ear wax removal costs vary according to the clinician. At Cadham Pharmacy, we commit ourselves to providing a cost-effective, high-quality service. Contact one of our pharmacists for detailed pricing information on earwax removal.

If you’re still unsure whether ear wax removal is painful, the answer is no. It is a safe and effective method that takes approximately half an hour to complete and does not require any specific medicine or anaesthetic to alleviate pain or discomfort. Actually, you will have little or no sensation at all. It will be complete in a flash, and you will be able to resume your normal activities with your hearing recovered and any other ear difficulties brought about by earwax buildup resolved.
It’s critical to remember that earwax is vital for proper ear health, and you do not need to clean your ears continually with cotton buds. So-called trendy treatments such as ear candles should be avoided at all costs — having a flame near your head is never a good idea, and ear candles frequently exacerbate earwax problems.
You require a certain amount of earwax to protect and moisturise your ear. It is only when it reaches a specific level, as described above, that it becomes harmful and requires removal. This means you’ll require the assistance of a professional to remove it.
Earwax removal is a non-invasive, painless procedure. Now is the time to book your professional earwax removal appointment with Cadham Pharmacy.
