Earwax Removal in Sydney

Safe Microsuction Ear Cleaning by Experienced Audiologists in Bondi Junction

Blocked ears can be uncomfortable and frustrating. Earwax (medically referred to as cerumen) build-up may cause muffled hearing, a feeling of fullness in the ear, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), hearing aid whistling, and sometimes dizziness.

At Healthy Hearing & Balance Care, we provide safe and gentle earwax removal using microsuction and specialised manual techniques. All procedures are performed by experienced audiologists in our Bondi Junction clinic, conveniently located in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.

If your ears feel blocked, we offer online booking and same-week appointments whenever possible.

What Is Microsuction Earwax Removal?

Microsuction is widely regarded as one of the safest and most effective ways to remove earwax.

Using magnification and a fine suction device, your audiologist carefully removes wax from the ear canal. Unlike traditional syringing, microsuction does not involve flushing the ear with water.

Benefits of Microsuction

  • Precise and controlled

  • Generally more comfortable than syringing

  • Suitable for many people with perforated eardrums or previous ear surgery

  • No messy water irrigation

  • Immediate improvement in hearing when wax is the cause

Symptoms of Earwax Build-Up

You may benefit from earwax removal if you have:

  • Blocked or muffled hearing

  • Ear fullness or pressure

  • Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)

  • Hearing aid feedback or whistling

  • Ear discomfort

  • Difficulty hearing on the phone

  • Reduced hearing after swimming or showering

  • A sensation that your ear is “blocked up”

What Happens During the Appointment?

Your appointment usually takes 20–30 minutes.

During the visit, your audiologist will:

  1. Examine your ears using otoscopy.

  2. Assess whether wax is causing your symptoms.

  3. Remove wax using microsuction and/or specialised instruments.

  4. Re-examine the ears after cleaning.

  5. Provide advice if further treatment or ENT review is recommended.

If your symptoms are not due to wax, we can advise on the most appropriate next steps.

Does Earwax Removal Hurt?

Most patients find microsuction comfortable.

If your ears are particularly tender or inflamed, we will proceed carefully and stop if you are uncomfortable.

Earwax Removal for Hearing Aid Users

Earwax build-up is a common cause of hearing aid whistling, blocked sound, and poor performance.

Regular ear cleaning can help your hearing aids work more effectively and comfortably.

How Often Should Earwax Be Removed?

There is no fixed schedule. Some people rarely need wax removal, while others—particularly hearing aid users or those who naturally produce more wax—may benefit from periodic cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is microsuction better than ear syringing?

Microsuction is generally considered safer, cleaner and more precise because it does not use water.

Can I use ear drops before my appointment?

If your wax is very hard, olive oil or wax-softening drops for a few days before the appointment may help, but they are not always necessary.

Can earwax cause tinnitus?

Yes. Wax build-up can contribute to ringing or buzzing in the ears.

Can earwax cause dizziness?

Occasionally, impacted wax can contribute to a sense of imbalance or pressure.

Can I book online?

Yes. You can book online 24 hours a day. Book Here.
