Ear Wax Removal
We understand how frustrating and uncomfortable it can be to have a blocked or wax-filled ear. That’s why our experienced audiologists offer gentle, safe wax removal to restore your hearing comfort. Using professional equipment and techniques, we clear impacted wax which may be causing muffled hearing, pressure in the ear, tinnitus or ear-ache. We’re independent and patient-centred and you’ll be treated as a person — not just a procedure. We ensure you will receive the highest level of care.
Our Approach:
- Initial assessment – to discuss your symptoms
- Risk review – is it safe to proceed
- Clear explanations & instructions – pre-procedure briefing
- Insurance Overview & Consent – Signed by Us and You.

We use Microsuction to remove ear wax. Microsuction involves using a small suction device to carefully remove wax under magnified view.
No — most people find wax removal completely comfortable. You might feel some light pressure or a tickling sensation, but the process shouldn’t cause pain. If you feel any discomfort, just let your audiologist know and they’ll adjust immediately.
If you currently have an ear infection, a perforation, or recent ear surgery, please let us know before booking. Our team will advise whether it’s safe to proceed or if you should see your GP first.
This varies between individuals. Some people naturally produce more ear wax than others. We recommend a routine check every 6–12 months, or sooner if you start to notice symptoms.
It’s best to avoid inserting cotton buds or other objects into your ears — these can push wax deeper or cause injury. If you’d like to try softening the wax, olive oil or Earol may help, but professional removal is always safest and most effective.
