Person experiencing ear discomfort - do you need your ears cleaned?

Do you Need your Ears Cleaned?

Ear wax (cerumen) is a natural protectant and should be left alone to move out of your ear through the self-cleaning mechanism of the ear canal.

When cerumen accumulates, you may experience:

  • A blocked feeling in your ears

  • Itchy ears

  • Reduced hearing

  • Whistling hearing aids

  • Tinnitus

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, an assessment can help determine whether ear wax removal or further care is appropriate.

What is ear wax removal using microsuction at Clear Ears Perth

Why Ear Wax Microsuction?

Ear microsuction is one method used for ear wax removal. It involves gentle suction performed under direct visualisation, allowing the audiologist to monitor the procedure throughout.

Unlike ear syringing, this technique does not involve water and can be suitable for some patients following an assessment of the ear. Ear microsuction may be preferred when irrigation is contraindicated.

Why ear microsuction may be recommended

Not all ears are suitable for water-based ear wax removal.

At Clear Ears Perth, our audiologists assess your ears first and select the most appropriate method for you. In many cases, microsuction may be recommended when irrigation is not suitable.

Ear cleaning microsuction is often preferred when:

  • You have a perforated eardrum (or a history of one)

  • You have grommets (ear tubes) or recent ear procedures

  • There is an active ear infection or discharge

  • You’ve had previous ear surgery

  • You experience dizziness with water in the ear

  • You rely on your only hearing ear

  • Wax is impacted or difficult to remove with irrigation

Features of ear wax microsuction

Microsuction is a water-free technique that allows ear wax to be removed under direct visual guidance using specialised equipment.

If no ear wax is present, we can also assess your ears and hearing to help identify other possible causes of your symptoms.
