Have your ears been itching more than normal? Do you find it difficult to hear, almost as if noises sound muffled? If so, you may have a build-up of wax in your ears.

While ear wax, for the most part, is beneficial for our ear health, a build-up of wax can become a problem. Unfortunately, old habits, like cleaning out our ears with Q-tips, may be to blame as it pushes the earwax deeper into the ear canal instead of effectively cleaning it out. 

If you or your child are experiencing any drainage problems in your ear(s), excessive itching, pain, or bleeding from your ear(s), schedule an appointment with your Oak Brook doctor for an ear cleaning. Ear wax removal is a simple procedure and can be done in no time. Avoid trying at-home remedies to remove or soften ear wax before speaking with your doctor. 

To request an appointment for an ear cleaning, contact Vitality Family Health at your earliest convenience.
