You may not think that earwax can interfere with your daily quality of life! However, earwax blocking an ear canal can cause discomfort, dizziness, tinnitus, reduce your hearing, interfere with hearing aids and even lead to social isolation if you can't hear conversations clearly.

If eardrops haven’t worked, then Ear Irrigation can help to remove the earwax. At The Walcote Practice, this quick and simple procedure is available in our clinics in Wi******er, in Chilcomb Park or by home visit.
