An ear cleaning involves removing the cerumen blockage. Cerumen (commonly known as "ear wax") acts as a lubricant and protector of the ear canal. Unfortunately, it can build up and create blockages in some people.
If you're not sure whether you need an ear cleaning, some pharmacies also offer the Ear assessment service to perform an examination of your ear.
A consultation with your nurse is recommended if you experience symptoms such as tinnitus, a clogged ear, discomfort, or pain.

Certain circumstances can lead to earwax buildup. Using cotton swabs, having psoriasis or eczema, or wearing hearing aids can put you at risk of developing such clogs.
