What Causes An Earwax Buildup?
An earwax buildup occurs when your ears produce an excess of earwax. The most common cause of earwax compaction is due to inserting Q-tips inside of your ears.
By inserting Q-tips inside your ears, it actually pushes the earwax further into the ear canal, which can cause impaction or even a rupture in the eardrum.
Our specialized earwax removal process ensures that your ears are cleared of excess wax safely and comfortably.
