Microsuction is a professional technique that allows your hearing specialist to view the ear canal under magnification while carefully removing excess or impacted wax using controlled suction. This gives the clinician excellent visibility and control throughout the procedure.

Earwax build-up can cause muffled hearing, blocked or full ears, tinnitus, discomfort and problems with hearing aids.

However, these symptoms can have other causes. That's one advantage of having your ears treated by Australian Audiology. We're hearing specialists, not simply an earwax removal service.

Once the wax has been removed, we'll also check your hearing at no extra cost.

For many people, microsuction is preferred because it does not use water pressure. The clinician can view the ear canal clearly while removing the wax, which allows for a controlled and precise procedure.

Risk of Injury: Inserting objects like cotton swabs or hairpins into your ear can push earwax deeper into the ear canal, potentially causing impaction or damage to the delicate structures of the ear, including the eardrum.

Infections: Improper earwax removal techniques can introduce bacteria into the ear canal, leading to infections. Ear candles, in particular, have been associated with burns and other injuries.

Ineffectiveness: Many home remedies do not effectively remove earwax and can exacerbate the problem by compacting the earwax further. Such actions can lead to more serious blockages that require professional intervention.

Hearing Damage: Pushing earwax further into the ear canal or damaging the ear canal can result in temporary or permanent hearing loss.

Professional Care: Trained audiologists perform professional earwax removal methods, such as microsuction, using specialised equipment. These methods are safe, effective, and they mitigate the risks associated with home remedies.

To ensure the safety and health of your ears, it is always best to seek professional help for earwax removal. Our earwax removal service using microsuction is a safe, quick, and painless solution performed by experienced audiologists.

Our standard private fee for microsuction earwax removal is $150.
