Do you feel a blockage, pain, discharge or reduced hearing in your ear? 
 

Earwax lubricates our ears in the same way tears lubricate our eyes. Without adequate earwax, our ears would feel dry and itchy. But sometimes we overproduce wax and it becomes problematic.
 

• Do your ears feel “full” or plugged?

• Have you noticed changes in your hearing?

• Do you have a persistent earache?

• Do you experience tinnitus sensations (like ringing in your ear)?

• Do your ears feel dry or itchy?
   

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may need your ears be checked there can be wax blocking them or discharge or infections blocking it.

​

Ears are normally self-cleaning; earwax is naturally expelled when you move your jaw or chew. But sometimes it needs a bit of professional help.

 

Can earwax or infections block up your hearing aids?
 

Many people who think they’re not getting benefit from their hearing aids are surprised when sounds are restored once the wax is removed from the ear and/or the hearing aid. A lot of the time, a “broken” hearing aid is actually just blocked with wax and can be fixed in minutes.

 

Wynnum Medical Centre doctors use the latest, safest and most comfortable methods to thoroughly clean your ears.
 

Our trained doctors use a specialised binocular microscope for a clear view of your ear canal. We then generally remove wax, discharge or foreign bodies using gentle micro-suction and/or other special ear wax removal tools.

Appointments typically take less than half an hour.
