Download our fact sheet to provide your patients with easy to follow guidance on earwax.
This fact sheet has the #withconsumers tick from the Consumers Health Forum of Australia
Earwax is normal. It protects the inner ear from water and infection. Sometimes, however, the wax builds up and leads to a blockage (impaction).
In some cases, the wax build-up falls out by itself without any treatment. At other times, the build-up needs treatment.
