What Is Impacted Ear Wax?

Ear wax is completely normal and helps protect your ears from dust, bacteria and water. Problems occur when wax becomes impacted, meaning it has built up to the point where it blocks the ear canal.
Impacted ear wax can develop gradually and may cause noticeable hearing loss, blocked ears, tinnitus or discomfort.
At Clear Ears Townsville we safely remove impacted wax using modern microsuction and manual techniques without the need for messy syringing.
