What is Earwax (Cerumen) & Why Does It Build Up?

Earwax (cerumen) is a natural substance produced by the body to protect and clean the ear canal. It helps trap dust, dirt, and bacteria. However, in some cases, it can build up and block the ear canal, leading to:

✔️ Temporary hearing loss

✔️ Ear pain or discomfort

✔️ A feeling of fullness in the ear

✔️ Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)

✔️ Dizziness or balance issues

Signs You May Need Earwax Removal

You may benefit from professional earwax removal if you experience:

  • Difficulty hearing: Sounds seem muffled or distant

  • Earache or discomfort: A blocked sensation in your ear

  • Tinnitus symptoms: Ringing or buzzing in your ears

Hear From Our Patients

Don't take our word for it; take a look at what our real patients have to say!

Many times, I need adjustments to benefit fully from my hearing aids. Jamie is attentive to my needs and very patient with my questions. Knowing I can sit and have a conversation with Jamie about what is working well and what needs to be improved is a positive experience. I never feel rushed during our consultations. I’m very appreciative of her willingness to continue to work with me as my hearing changes!

Mary C.

I really can’t say enough good things about Jamie, other than, if you should find yourself in need of an exceptional audiologist, you may find as good but never, ever better than she. And while her warm, amiable nature will endear her to you, it is her skillful, knowledgeable attention to detail that will calm your apprehensions in the recognition that she has your best interest at heart. In conclusion, I am rating her at 5 stars though she really deserves 10.

Merle Hudgins

Jamie made me feel so comfortable. She explained my hearing loss in a way that I could understand and helped me with my tinnitus. Gave me options on hearing aids and how they would work for me, made sure I was comfortable with my choice in wearing and adjusting myself. When I did need her help she was always so welcoming and supportive. I wear my hearing aids with confidence and love how I hear everything now, from my music to the birds singing outdoors. I look forward to seeing her for any future appointments.
