Home Visit Microsuction Earwax Removal

Service Description

Ear wax build up can contribute to a range of symptoms, including: * Blocked or full sensations in the ears * Reduced hearing * Ear discomfort or pressure * Tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, or whooshing sounds in the ears) * Pain or discomfort when inserting earbuds or hearing aids For hearing aid users, excessive ear wax can also block hearing aids, causing them to perform less effectively. We provide professional ear wax removal using **microsuction**. Microsuction is widely used by ENT specialists and audiologists because it allows ear wax to be removed safely under direct visual guidance, without the need for water irrigation. Before treatment, your audiologist will perform a thorough examination of your ear canal and eardrum. A sterile suction probe is then used to gently remove excess ear wax. Microsuction is a safe, precise, and generally comfortable procedure that provides immediate relief for many patients. Unlike water irrigation, it keeps the ear canal dry, which can be be particularly beneficial in Cairns' humid tropical climate. Our **Home Visit Microsuction Service** is ideal for patients with limited mobility, those who are unable to drive, or anyone who prefers to receive professional ear care in the comfort and convenience of their own home. If, after examining your ears, ear wax removal is not required, a **$100 call out consultation fee** will apply. This includes a comprehensive ear examination, discussion of any hearing related concerns, hearing aids or hearing technology, and personalised advice tailored to your needs. Please note: Ear wax removal is performed where appropriate following assessment. If your ears require medical review, we will discuss this with you and recommend the next steps.
