COMMON QUESTIONS
Where can I get ear wax removed in Novi?
PrimeCare Urgent Care provides ear wax evaluation and removal at 39555 W. Ten Mile Road, Suite 301, Novi, MI. Walk-ins are welcome.
Is ear wax removal painful?
Most patients tolerate it well. If the ear is very inflamed, infected, or impacted, removal may be more sensitive and our provider will choose the safest approach.
Should I use cotton swabs to remove wax?
Avoid pushing cotton swabs into the ear canal. They often push wax deeper and can injure the ear canal or eardrum.
Can ear wax cause hearing loss?
