Ear Wax Removal in Greenwood Village, CO

At-home ear wax removal methods — including cotton swabs, ear candles, and irrigation kits — can push wax deeper into the ear canal or cause damage to the eardrum if used incorrectly. Professional removal performed by a Doctor of Audiology is the safest and most effective option, particularly if you wear hearing aids, have a history of ear infections, or experience recurring wax buildup.

Common signs of earwax blockage include muffled or reduced hearing, a feeling of fullness in the ear, ringing or tinnitus, earache, or hearing aids that suddenly seem less effective. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, a professional evaluation can quickly determine whether wax buildup is the cause.

At Elevation Audiology, ear wax removal is performed using safe, clinically appropriate techniques tailored to your ear anatomy and the nature of the blockage. The process is gentle, typically quick, and completed in a single visit. Dr. Price will also examine your ear canal before and after removal to ensure everything looks healthy.

Yes. Earwax blockage is one of the more common and easily treatable contributors to tinnitus. When wax obstructs the ear canal, it can alter sound input and increase the brain’s awareness of internal sounds. In many cases, professional wax removal leads to a noticeable reduction in tinnitus symptoms.

This varies from person to person. Some patients never need professional ear cleaning, while others — particularly hearing aid wearers — may benefit from regular maintenance every few months. Dr. Price can assess your ears and recommend an appropriate schedule based on your anatomy, wax production, and hearing health needs.
