Microsuction

How is it done

Microsuction Ear Wax Removal

At The Ear Luxe Clinic, your microsuction ear wax removal appointment includes a full ear inspection, safe removal of wax, and personalised ear health advice for both ears.

Every appointment is tailored to the individual. Depending on your needs, a combination of professional tools may be used to safely remove ear wax, including:

  • A medical-grade microsuction unit
  • Specialised microsuction instruments
  • Ear curettage tools
  • Cerumenolytic solutions to help soften ear wax

Our goal is safe, gentle, and effective ear wax removal — with your comfort front of mind throughout.

What to Expect During Microsuction

Microsuction uses a small suction device to carefully remove ear wax from the ear canal. You may notice a suction sound during the procedure — this is completely normal.

In some cases, ear wax may be very hard or impacted, or the ear canal may be inflamed or swollen. If this occurs, the procedure may feel slightly uncomfortable. When this happens, we may recommend softening the wax with olive oil drops for 3–7 days before returning for a follow-up appointment, making removal easier and more comfortable.

Suitable for a Range of Ear Conditions

Microsuction is a safe and effective technique suited to a variety of situations, including:

  • Impacted or excessive ear wax
  • Blocked ears
  • Ear debris from infections
  • Foreign objects in the ear canal
  • Patients with a perforated eardrum

Because microsuction doesn’t require water irrigation, it’s often considered a safer option for sensitive ears.

Preparing for Your Appointment

To help make ear wax removal easier, you can use olive oil drops in the ear canal for three days before your appointment — as long as there’s no known eardrum perforation.

Softening the wax beforehand can help the procedure be quicker and more comfortable.

What if I do not have any wax?

Consultation Policy

If you attend an appointment and no ear wax is present that requires removal, a $30 consultation fee will apply. This covers the ear examination and professional assessment carried out during your visit.

Important Health Advice

Hearing loss and ear pain can have many different causes — not all of them related to ear wax.

If you’re experiencing persistent ear pain, hearing loss, or symptoms of an ear infection, please seek advice from your doctor or healthcare provider before booking an ear wax removal appointment. This helps ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
