Questions
Earwax removal FAQs
A few of the questions we hear most often.
How do I know if I need earwax removal?
Common signs can include blocked or muffled hearing, a feeling of fullness or pressure, mild discomfort, itching, or ringing. These can be associated with wax build-up. The best way to be sure is to book a professional assessment.
Is earwax removal painful?
It should not be. Microsuction is gentle and most people find it comfortable — you may hear a soft whooshing sound during the procedure. Tell your clinician at any point if anything feels uncomfortable.
How long does microsuction take?
Most appointments take around 30 minutes in total, including your consultation and a video examination of the ear.
Can earwax cause hearing loss?
A build-up of earwax can be associated with temporary, reduced hearing. Hearing often improves once the blockage is cleared, but any ongoing concerns should be assessed by a professional.
