The safest and best way to have earwax removed is through an audiologist. In addition to preventing, identifying, assessing, and treating hearing loss, audiologists are healthcare professionals trained extensively in the process of earwax removal.
If visiting an audiologist is not a possibility, earwax removal kits available at a pharmacy can also be purchased. Earwax removal kits contain softening agents which can help break down the earwax present. It is important to note that severely blocked ears from earwax will always need professional removal as over-the-counter methods will aid in softening the wax, but not result in full removal or relief from the blockage.
