Ear Cleaning in Pelham, AL

Earwax removal is critical for preventing hearing loss. Earwax plays an important role in keeping your ear clear of dust and other foreign debris that can affect your eardrum. Normally your earwax washes out on its own, but it can become impacted and cause hearing loss or ear infections. This makes regularly cleaning your ears an important part of your overall hearing health.

At Oak Mountain Hearing Associates, we provide gentle, effective earwax removal for patients in Pelham, Hoover, Helena, Alabaster, Chelsea, Indian Springs Village, and the greater Shelby County area. Our specialists use advanced tools and techniques to safely clear blockages—without the risks associated with cotton swabs or at-home remedies. Schedule an appointment.

How to Get Wax Out of Your Ear

Unfortunately, many common remedies for cleaning your ears, such as using cotton swabs, can actually make the problem worse. Putting anything in your ear canal runs the risk of pushing the earwax further back and injuring your eardrum. Over-the-counter drops soften the wax, but can make the clogged sensation worse and are often ineffective at removing impacted wax.

Professional earwax removal is fast and thorough. We can safely clean your ears of debris and built-up wax and check to make sure there aren’t any other issues affecting your hearing.

Earwax might be the cause — but it’s not always the full story. Call or text us today to find out for sure.
