Common Ear & Hearing Concerns We Address

Illustration for this Hazelwood Hearcare guide
  • Why does earwax removal hurt?
  • It usually doesn’t. If it does, it could be due to hardened wax or an ear infection. Microsuction is generally pain-free.
  • Is it good to get your earwax removed?
  • Yes—especially if you wear hearing aids, experience hearing loss, or feel blocked ears. Avoid DIY methods.
  • How often should I have microsuction?
  • Once or twice a year is typical. More frequent care may be needed if you’re prone to wax buildup or wear hearing aids.
  • How do hearing aids help tinnitus and hearing loss?
  • Hearing aids can reduce the strain on your ears by amplifying sound and masking tinnitus noises, helping improve focus and quality of life.
