Choose the best method for your ear wax removal needs. Trust the expertise of our trained Ear Nurses to prioritise your ear health.

Did you know that:

  • Ears naturally produce ear wax
  • Ears have a built in self-cleaning mechanism
  • The skin cells inside the ear canal function like a conveyor belt pushing the ear wax out of the ear

Blockages can occur in your ears if your self-cleaning mechanism is affected if you:

  • Use cotton earbuds
  • Wear airpod/ headphones
  • Wear hearing aids
  • Swim regularly

Genetics can cause blockages due to the ear canal being:

  • Narrow
  • Curvy
  • Hairy
  • Excess skin

Environmental causes can block your ears if exposed to:

  • Dust
  • Cold wind and climate
  • Loud noise

DO’S & DON’TS

  • Gently wipe the visible part of your ear with a damp cloth.
  • Use ear plugs in loud environments.
  • See an ear nurse for gentle microsuction cleaning about once per year.
  • Use cotton buds (they can push ear wax further in or even damage your ear drum).
  • Use ear candles as these have been proven ineffective and misleading  (Seely et al, 1996).
  • Attempt to clean anywhere in your ear that you cannot see.
  • Stick anything in your ear smaller than your elbow.
