Ear Wax Removal
At Egans Hearing Centre, we provide safe, effective and clinically proven ear wax removal for adults of all ages, and we offer free ear wax assessments to determine if ear wax removal is necessary.
Ear wax build-up is a common issue, but when left untreated, it can cause blocked ears, hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness and discomfort. Our role is to remove wax safely and efficiently, without pain or unnecessary risk, using the most advanced methods available in modern audiology practice.
Specialist Ear Wax Removal
We deliver specialist ear wax removal in our Lavitts Quay clinic using methods that prioritise ear health and patient safety. Our clinicians are experienced in identifying the type, depth and consistency of ear wax before choosing the most appropriate removal technique. Unlike outdated or unsafe approaches, our procedures are performed under direct visual guidance, ensuring precision and comfort throughout. This allows us to remove wax thoroughly while protecting the delicate structures of the ear canal and eardrum. If you are experiencing blocked ears or reduced hearing, prompt professional treatment can make an immediate and noticeable difference.
Why Professional Ear Wax Removal Matters
Ear wax, also known as cerumen, is a natural substance that protects the ear canal. Attempting to remove wax at home using cotton buds, candles or unverified products often pushes wax deeper, increasing the risk of infection or damage. At Egans Hearing Centre, we provide a controlled clinical environment where wax is removed safely, cleanly and effectively. However, when it builds up excessively, it can cause: This includes: • Muffled or reduced hearing • Earache or pressure • Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) • Balance issues or dizziness • Hearing aid malfunction
Microsuction Ear Wax Removal
We specialise in microsuction ear wax removal, widely recognised as the gold standard in ear care. This method uses gentle suction under magnification to remove wax precisely and comfortably. Microsuction is particularly suitable for patients with sensitive ears, perforated eardrums or a history of ear infections. Our clinicians monitor the procedure visually at all times, ensuring complete control and accuracy. Benefits of Microsuction • No water used, reducing infection risk • Immediate results • Safe for most patients • Ideal for hearing aid users • Clinically recommended
Ear Wax Removal for Hearing Aid Users
Hearing aid users are particularly susceptible to wax build-up, as devices can prevent natural wax migration. Excess wax can block sound, cause whistling and reduce device lifespan. Regular professional ear cleaning is essential for maintaining both ear health and hearing technology effectiveness.
