Our Wax Removal Methods
We offer a choice of safe, clinically recognised techniques, all performed by trained professionals in our fully equipped treatment rooms.
Microsuction
The gold standard in wax removal, microsuction uses a gentle, low-pressure suction device and magnification to precisely remove wax. It’s quick, clean, and generally doesn’t require any pre-treatment with drops.
Irrigation
A controlled stream of warm water is used to gently flush out the ear canal, ideal for cases where wax is too soft or wet for microsuction, or when a gentler method is preferred.
Instrumentation (Dry Removal)
For wax that is close to the outer ear canal, our clinicians may use manual tools to safely and carefully lift out the blockage, no suction or water needed.
What Is Earwax and When Does It Become a Problem?
Earwax (cerumen) is a natural substance produced to protect and lubricate the ear canal. In most people, it works its way out of the ear naturally. But when wax builds up, it can cause:
- A blocked or full sensation
- Hearing loss or muffled hearing
- Itching or irritation
- Earaches
- Even dizziness or infection if left untreated
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s best not to attempt removal yourself. Our experts are here to assess your ears and provide a safe, tailored treatment that protects your hearing and restores comfort.
