Ear Wax Removal
Microsuction Ear Wax Removal in Hurstville & the St George Area
Blocked ears can affect your hearing and comfort
Ear wax build-up is a common cause of muffled hearing, discomfort, pressure, and sometimes dizziness or tinnitus. At Georges River Hearing & Audiology, we provide professional microsuction ear wax removal for clients in Hurstville, Oatley and across the St George area.
Microsuction is a gentle and precise method of removing excess or impacted ear wax using specialised suction equipment. Unlike traditional ear syringing, microsuction does not require water to be flushed into the ear, allowing your audiologist to carefully remove wax while directly viewing the ear canal.
Ear wax removal (30 minutes): $150
Appointments are available Monday to Saturday, with same-day appointments often available.

Clinically approved removal methods
While microsuction is commonly used for ear wax removal, we select the most appropriate technique based on your individual needs and the condition of your ears.
We use a range of safe, evidence-based techniques:
• Microsuction - gentle removal using specialised suction equipment• Curettage - using specialised medical instruments• Low-pressure irrigation - where appropriate
Each method is selected based on safety, effectiveness, and your comfort.
Benefits of professional ear wax removal
• Relief from blocked or muffled hearing • Quick, safe, and comfortable treatment process • Improvement in hearing clarity in most cases • Suitable for recurring or impacted ear wax • Reduced risk compared to at-home cleaning methods
Symptoms of ear wax build-up
You may need wax removal if you experience:
• Muffled or reduced hearing• Feeling of fullness or blockage in the ear• Tinnitus (ringing or buzzing)• Ear discomfort or pressure• Dizziness in some cases
What to expect during your appointment
We begin with an ear examination to assess wax build-up and ensure the procedure is safe to proceed. If wax removal is required, we'll determine the most appropriate method for your ears, which may include microsuction, curettage or low-pressure irrigation.
The removal process is usually quick and well tolerated, with most patients noticing immediate improvement in hearing clarity following the procedure.

What about removing ear wax at home?
Cotton buds and other objects should not be inserted into the ear canal, as they can push wax further into the ear or cause injury. Over-the-counter ear drops and wax-softening products may be suitable in some circumstances, but they won't always resolve impacted or persistent ear wax.
If your ear feels blocked, your hearing has changed, you have recurring wax build-up, or home treatments haven't helped, it's best to have your ears professionally assessed before attempting further removal.
If you're experiencing significant ear pain, discharge, bleeding or sudden hearing loss, seek medical advice rather than attempting to remove the wax yourself.
