We can help you with some hearing problems with ear wax removal in Lathom.  Ear wax is produced by glands in the earcanal. It has a protective purpose to trap dust and other small particles toprevent them from reaching and potentially damaging the eardrum. The amount ofwax produced varies from person to person and usually comes out on its own Itcan become a problem if there is a large build up causing a blockage. Thiscould cause impaired hearing, ear pain or dizziness as well as itchiness in theears or ear canal. There can be a plugged or full sensation or pressure felt inthe ear. This sticky yellowish secretion protects the skin of the ear and isusually cleared out of the ear canal by the movement of the jaws.
