How often should ears be cleaned?
How often should I get my ears professionally cleaned in Melbourne?
For most people, the ears are self-cleaning and do not require frequent cleaning. If you experience symptoms like earwax buildup, blockage, reduced hearing, or discomfort, you should schedule professional ear cleaning every 6 to 12 months. Additionally, individuals who wear hearing aids, use earplugs regularly, or have a history of earwax issues may benefit from more frequent cleanings as recommended by their Ear Nurse.
You may need a professional ear wax removal service if you experience:
- Ear discomfort or itching
- A feeling of fullness or blocked ears
- Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) Dizziness or balance issues
- Reduced or muffled hearing
