Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use ear candles to remove earwax?

Ear candling, a method that involves placing a hollow candle in the ear and lighting it, is not recommended. There is no scientific evidence to support its effectiveness, and it can be dangerous, potentially causing burns, injury, or even blockage by candle wax.

What is manual earwax removal?

Manual earwax removal is the process of physically removing earwax from the ear canal using specialised tools.

What is ear syringing?

Ear syringing, also known as ear irrigation, is a procedure performed by healthcare professionals to remove excess earwax or foreign objects from the ear canal. It involves gently flushing warm water or a saline solution into the ear using a syringe. The water helps soften the earwax, allowing it to be loosened and flushed out. The procedure is performed by our trained professionals after appropriate evaluation to ensure safety and avoid complications.

What is microsuction earwax removal?

Microsuction is a safe and effective method used by our audiologists to remove excess earwax. It involves using a specialised suction device, with a microscope to gently and precisely suction out the wax from the ear canal.

Is micro-suction painful?

Microsuction is generally well-tolerated and a comfortable procedure. Most people experience minimal to no discomfort during the process. However, if you have a sensitive ear or an existing ear condition, you may feel slight pressure or a mild sensation during the procedure.

How long do the procedures take?

The duration of the procedure will vary depending on the amount of earwax present, complexity of the case and the technique used. On average, it takes about 10 to 30 minutes to complete the process. However, your audiologist will take the necessary time to ensure thorough wax removal.

If a second visit is required to dislodge remaining wax no additional fee will be charged.
