Professional Earwax Removal Services
Earwax, or cerumen, is naturally produced by glands in the ear to protect and lubricate the ear canal, preventing dust and debris from reaching deeper parts of the ear. While cerumen typically clears on its own, it may occasionally build up and cause discomfort, particularly for individuals using earmolds or hearing aids.
Audiologists at AurisCare follow best practices by thorough evaluation in the field of audiology and hearing health, known as a comprehensive assessment, involves a detailed examination of an individual’s auditory system and associated functions.
This assessment aims to offer a thorough insight into the individual’s hearing capabilities, potential challenges in hearing, and overall auditory well being.
When Should Earwax Be Removed?
- Earache
- Ringing in the ears (Tinnitus)
- Reduced hearing
- Fullness or pressure in the ear
- Dizziness
These symptoms may signal the need for professional earwax removal. While home remedies exist, a consultation with a hearing care professional is often safer and more effective.
AurisCare’s Professional Earwax Removal Techniques
Our audiologists use advanced, safe methods to gently remove earwax based on your specific needs. Each technique is tailored to offer maximum comfort and effectiveness.
01 | Ear Wax Removal Services
Precision Instrumentation
The initial stage of the hearing test involves using an otoscope, a tool designed to inspect the outer ear and ear drum. This examination of the ear canal allows us to look for potential infections, abnormalities in the eardrum, or the presence of wax buildup. Additionally, we offer the option of video otoscopy for a more detailed examination.

Gentle Irrigation
Our low-pressure irrigation system uses a steady stream of water to flush out stubborn wax without damaging the eardrum. This method is gentle, effective, and safe for most patients, although it is not recommended for those with a perforated eardrum, ear tubes, or certain ear conditions.

Microsuction (Ear Vacuuming)
Our microsuction process uses a tiny vacuum to gently loosen and remove wax, ideal for patients with previous ear surgeries or conditions like perforated eardrums. While some sounds may be audible during the process, this technique is quick, precise, and a popular choice for those with sensitive ears.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to most of the questions that we hear a lot about hearing solutions.
Earwax helps protect your ears, but sometimes it doesn’t clear out on its own. Things like using earbuds, hearing aids, or even your body’s natural wax production can cause a buildup that may block your ear canal and affect your hearing.
If you’re feeling fullness in your ears, noticing muffled hearing, experiencing ringing sounds (tinnitus), dizziness, or ear pain — it could be due to wax buildup. These are clear signs that it’s time to see a professional.
Home remedies like cotton swabs or ear candles can actually push wax deeper or damage your ear. Professional earwax removal is safer, faster, and ensures your ears are properly cared for without any risk.
We personalize your care using advanced techniques:
- Precision Tools: Manual removal with specialized instruments after a detailed ear exam.
- Gentle Irrigation: A low-pressure water system that flushes out wax safely.
- Microsuction (Ear Vacuuming): A gentle vacuum that quickly and precisely clears blocked ears — especially ideal for sensitive cases.
Not at all! Most patients feel only mild sensations — like a slight tickle or sound during the process. Our audiologists are trained to make the experience comfortable and stress-free.
It really depends. Some people may need a check-up every 6 to 12 months, especially if they wear hearing aids or produce more wax naturally. Our audiologists will guide you based on your unique needs after your first visit.
Ignoring it can lead to worsened hearing loss, increased risk of ear infections, and even balance issues. Getting it treated early prevents bigger problems down the road.
