All ear wax removal procedures are carried out under direct vision assisted through a head-worn light or hand held light source and magnified view to achieve maximum patient comfort and safety.

Every patient’s ear canal and integrity of the tympanic membrane are medically reviewed before proceeding to choose the best approach to achieve clean ears. We also remove compacted ear wax and foreign bodies that are often a result of home remedies such as cotton swabs, hydrogen peroxide or ear candling. No more oils and home remedies!

In a 30-minute appointment, we remove cerumen (ear wax), mostly without the prior use of softening agents like medical graded oils and other products . Our specialists also use curetting or computer-controlled irrigation where the ear canal is not pressurised during the procedure. This is a safe option when softening agents have been used or cerumen is attached to the tympanic membrane.  If required, patients benefit from the added support of a complimentary hearing screening after cerumen removal to identify any potential hearing issue.
