Safe & Gentle Earwax Removal for Clearer Hearing

At Prime Hearing Clinic, we offer expert earwax removal services in Calgary, providing relief from discomfort and promoting long-term ear health. 

Cerumen (Earwax) Management

What is (Cerumen) Earwax?

Your ear canal has glands that produce a natural substance called cerumen, also known as earwax. Earwax is important to keep your ears healthy, as it acts as a barrier and helps trap dust, dirt, and small particles invisible to the human eye. The earwax also helps keep your ears moisturised and contains properties that prevent infections.  

What is Earwax Removal?

Earwax removal is a process that extracts excess cerumen buildup using advanced and safe methods by a professional ear specialist. Ear wax removal should only be done by a professional, as they are trained and equipped to handle the procedure with care. 

 

Our ear specialists in Calgary use specialised equipment and follow standardised medical protocols to remove cerumen, ensuring that you have a safe, hygienic, and effortless procedure.

We may use ear drops, gentle irrigation, or advanced microsuction, depending on your ear health and the amount of wax buildup.

It is not recommended. Cotton swabs can push wax deeper into the ear canal, increase the risk of blockage, or even damage the eardrum.

Most people don’t need regular earwax removal, as the ears are self-cleaning. However, if you are prone to frequent buildup, wear hearing aids, or experience recurring symptoms, periodic professional ear wax removal may be helpful.

Most procedures take about 15–30 minutes, depending on the amount and type of earwax present.
