What Is Ear Wax and Why Does It Build Up?

Ear wax (also called cerumen) is your body’s natural way of protecting the ears. It traps dust, debris, and bacteria before they can travel deeper into the ear canal. But sometimes, wax builds up and becomes impacted, leading to:

A blocked or full sensation
Muffled hearing
Itchiness or discomfort
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Ear infections

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it might be time for professional ear cleaning.

Can I book an appointment for my child ?

Absolutely! We are more than happy to accommodate children at our clinic. Our Ear Nurses are fully trained to provide care for children. However, it’s important to consider a few factors when booking an appointment for your child’s safety and comfort.
Please keep in mind that we require children to be able to follow directions and remain as still as possible during the treatment. This is necessary for their safety. In the event that the nurse determines the child is too restless or uncooperative, the treatment may be stopped for the well-being of the child. It’s important to note that in such cases, there will be a reduced consultation fee of $135.
To make an appointment for your child, simply give us a call at Crystal Clear Ears on 1300 260 750. Our friendly reception staff will be happy to assist you and book the appointment over the phone. During the booking process, we will also ask for your child’s date of birth.
Once you have made the appointment over the phone, we recommend reading the “Preparing your child for Microsuction” guide to help ensure a smooth and comfortable experience for your child.

Please note: We require that children under 16 be accompanied by a parent or guardian. For more details, please refer to our policy.
