Recognising the Symptoms of Earwax Buildup
If you suspect you have an earwax buildup, it’s important not to try removing it yourself, as this can be harmful and potentially damage the delicate structures of your ear. Our trained audiologists specialise in ear care, and we recommend professional microsuction treatment for safe and effective removal.
Common signs of earwax build-up include:
- Earache or discomfort
- A feeling of fullness or blockage in the ear
- Decreased 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 other methods, it doesn’t require any liquids in the ear, making it a more comfortable option.
Using high-quality microscopes with x20 magnification, our audiologists work with complete visibility and precision, making the process both accurate and safe. A gentle suction device is then used to carefully remove any ear wax buildup, providing instant relief without discomfort.
How long does Microsuction take?
Microsuction ear wax removal is a quick and efficient procedure, usually taking between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the amount of wax build-up and the complexity of the treatment.
After the procedure, it may take a few hours for your ears to fully settle as they adjust to hearing without any blockages.
