Earwax is a normal, protective part of a healthy ear; it helps trap dust and debris, keeps the ear canal lubricated, and usually clears on its own.
Earwax is a normal and protective part of a healthy ear. It helps trap dust and debris, keeps the ear canal lubricated, and usually works its way out naturally. Removal is only recommended when wax becomes impacted, causes discomfort, affects hearing, or prevents us from properly examining or testing your ears.
Please note that Provincial Hearing is not a walk-in earwax-removal clinic. Due to limited appointment availability, wax removal is offered primarily to our existing hearing-care patients when clinically necessary. Appointments are scheduled at the discretion of our hearing-care professionals and cannot always be accommodated.
If you are not currently a Provincial Hearing patient and require routine wax removal, please contact your primary healthcare provider for guidance.
