Everybody has earwax, to varying levels. Earwax is produced inside the ears to keep them clean and free of germs. It usually passes out of the ears naturally and harmlessly without you noticing, however, some people are prone to earwax building up and causing a blockage, which requires removal. A build-up of earwax can cause itchiness, hearing loss, tinnitus, earache and ear infections, and even vertigo.
If you’re interested in the science of how we test your hearing, we use the following procedures to provide a comprehensive hearing assessment. Each test has a particular focus and is a valuable component of a full audiometric evaluation, and together the results will give a holistic view of hearing and ear functionality.
“We look forward to meeting you at one of our local branches in Hove, Haywards Heath, Goring-by-Sea and Lewes or on a home visit if that better suits your needs (for hearing aid assessment, microsuction ear wax removal, and video otoscopy).”
