Why microsuction?

Widely regarded as safer and more precise than traditional syringing. A dry technique using gentle suction under direct vision — improving accuracy, comfort, and safety. Preferred for sensitive ears, hearing aids, or a history of infection.

 

Why an audiologist?

Trained in ear and hearing care, an audiologist approaches wax removal more holistically — assessing for other ear or hearing concerns and advising whether further assessment, follow-up, or medical review may be needed.

 

Why Ear & Hearing Australia?

While other clinics on La Trobe Street may offer wax removal by ear syringing performed by general staff, our service is performed strictly by accredited audiologists — directly opposite the Flagstaff Gardens.

 

Your 3-Step Ear Wax Removal Process

A step-by-step guide to better hearing with Ear & Hearing Australia.

1. Case History & Ear Exam

We start with a comprehensive check of your ear canals using a video otoscope, allowing you to see the blockage on screen.

 

2. Gentle Micro-Suction Procedure

Using a microscope for precision, we gently remove the wax using a low-pressure medical suction device. No water, no mess.

 

3. Final Check & Advice

We perform a final inspection to ensure the canal is completely clear and assess your eardrum health.

 

Your Procedure Will Be Performed By a Melbourne CBD Expert

Your ears are delicate. Don’t trust them to just anyone. Our Melbourne CBD clinic is staffed by accredited specialists.

Robert S

I would advise people to actually speak with an audiologist as early as possible if they have any inkling that they may have a hearing loss. Because, like anything else, the earlier it is found and diagnosed, the better the treatment can be. I’ve been going to Ear & Hearing for three years. A little bit longer actually because I needed to call on them to actually do some repairs to the first set of ear hearing aids I bought which was from another audiologist and you could not find people to be more efficient and friendly and so convenient.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cost of professional ear wax removal in Melbourne CBD?
Our professional ear wax removal fee in Melbourne CBD is typically $160 to $220, depending on the complexity of the procedure. The appointment includes a video otoscope ear examination and microsuction wax removal using medical-grade suction by a qualified audiologist. We do not use water syringing.
How long does an ear cleaning appointment take at your Melbourne CBD clinic?
An ear cleaning appointment at our Melbourne CBD clinic usually takes around 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the amount and nature of the wax blockage. This makes microsuction ear wax removal a convenient option for many patients, including those wanting a quick appointment during the day or over a lunch break.
Do I need a GP referral for ear wax removal in Melbourne CBD?
No. You do not need a GP referral to book an ear wax removal appointment at our Melbourne CBD clinic.
Is microsuction ear cleaning suitable for seniors and children?
Yes. Microsuction ear cleaning is generally considered a safe and precise option for seniors and children aged 4+. As it uses low-pressure suction under direct vision rather than water syringing, it is often preferred for people with sensitive ears, hearing aids, or more delicate ear canals.
Does microsuction ear wax removal hurt?
No. Microsuction ear wax removal is generally not painful. You may hear a whooshing or suction noise during the procedure, but most patients find it comfortable and well tolerated.
