Clear blocked ears with gentle, precise treatment.
Earwax plays an important role in protecting your ears, but excessive build-up can cause discomfort, reduced hearing and a blocked sensation.
At Supernova Medical Centre, ear microsuction provides a controlled, water-free method of removing excess earwax. Your ears are assessed before treatment to determine whether microsuction is appropriate for you.
Water-Free Earwax Removal
Microsuction uses a small suction device to remove excess wax without flushing water into the ear canal.
Careful Ear Examination
Your practitioner examines your ears to identify wax build-up and assess whether removal is suitable.

A few things to know before you arrive.
Preparing for your appointment can help your practitioner assess your ears and choose the most appropriate treatment.
If you have sudden hearing loss, severe ear pain, bleeding or significant discharge, seek prompt medical assessment rather than assuming earwax is the cause.
Avoid cotton buds
They can push earwax deeper into the canal.
Tell us about previous ear problems
Including ear surgery, grommets, eardrum perforations, infections or previous microsuction.
Ask before using ear drops
Wax-softening drops may be recommended in some cases, but are not suitable for everyone.
Bring your hearing aids
If you use them, mention any recent changes in hearing or recurring wax problems.
