Recognising the Symptoms of Earwax Buildup

Avoid attempting to remove earwax yourself, as this can be harmful. Our trained audiologists provide safe and effective microsuction treatment. Common symptoms of earwax buildup include: 

  • Earache or discomfort
  • A feeling of fullness or blockage in the ear 
  • Reduced or muffled hearing 
  • Tinnitus (ringing in the ear) 
  • Itching or discharge from the ear

Microsuction Ear Wax Treatment

Microsuction is the gold standard in ear wax removal—quick, safe, and completely painless. Unlike traditional methods, it requires no liquids in the ear, offering a more comfortable experience. 

Using high-quality microscopes with up to 20x magnification, our audiologists work with complete precision and visibility. A gentle suction device is then used to carefully remove any ear wax buildup, providing instant relief safely and effectively.

How long does Microsuction take?

Microsuction ear wax removal is a quick and efficient procedure, typically lasting 15 minutes, depending on the amount of wax and the complexity of the treatment.
