Professional Earwax Removal and Health Checks
Are you struggling with blocked ears, discomfort, or difficulty hearing due to earwax buildup? At NeuroHearing, we offer professional earwax removal solutions designed to safely and effectively clear your ears. Our expert audiologists ensure a gentle, comfortable earwax removal experience with state-of-the-art techniques in our earwax cleaning clinic in Canterbury, Melbourne, making us a trusted choice for ear waxing removal near you.
World-Class Earwax Removal Techniques
According to a report by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), 38% of ear syringing procedures conducted by regular GPs result in a complication, and around 20% of medical negligence cases are linked to ear syringing. These statistics highlight the significant risks associated with ear syringing and underscore why other methods are a safer and more reliable alternative for earwax removal, and why it is best conducted by an audiologist.
Choosing a combination of ear irrigation, suction earwax removal, and curettage over traditional ear syringing or ear drops, provides a comprehensive, personalised approach to wax removal, ensuring the safest and most effective outcome for each individual.
Melbourne's Leading Earwax Removal Clinic
Why Choose NeuroHearing for Wax Removal?
Every ear is different, which is why our earwax removal specialists offer three highly effective methods to remove earwax safely and in the most suitable manner for your ears. These include:
Ear Irrigation
This is a gentle, water-based method that uses a controlled stream of warm water to soften and flush out excess earwax. It offers a comfortable, non-invasive experience, making it ideal for softer wax blockages and those seeking an effective yet gentle solution.
Microsuction Wax Removal
A low-pressure suction device removes wax with precision, offering a quick, dry, and safe alternative, especially for those with sensitive ears or perforated eardrums. It is a highly controlled method that minimises discomfort while ensuring effective results.
Curettage Wax Removal
Using specialised tools, our audiologists manually remove stubborn earwax buildup with precision and care through the curettage method. Curettage allows for targeted removal, making it especially useful for small or hard-to-reach blockages.
Our Melbourne Earwax Removal Specialists Provide:
Techniques Tailored to You
Unlike ear syringing, which applies a one-size-fits-all method using high-pressure water, our combination of techniques allows our audiologists to select the most appropriate method based on your specific earwax condition, ensuring a more precise and comfortable experience. Our approach is safer for individuals with sensitive ears, perforated eardrums, or a history of ear infections, as we can adjust the method to suit your specific ear health needs.
Reduced Risk of Complications
According to the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), 38% of ear syringing procedures result in complications, including infections or eardrum perforation. With our approach, we use methods that minimize unnecessary risk by offering a gentler and more controlled process.
Highly Effective & Thorough Cleaning
Ear irrigation is a highly effective method for both soft and hard wax removal. Unlike other methods, ear irrigation does not require pre-softening agents and can efficiently clear impacted wax in a quick, comfortable, and side-effect-free manner. Microsuction provides a dry, precise removal using magnification which can be more suitable for those with eardrum perforations or an ear infection. Curettage allows for careful manual removal of stubborn or impacted wax, ensuring all residual buildup is addressed. The combination of these methods ensures optimal ear health, immediate relief, and a safer alternative to traditional wax removal approaches.
A More Comfortable & Faster Recovery
Unlike ear drops, which take time to break down wax and may require multiple treatments, and ear syringing, which can leave permanent ear/hearing damage, our techniques offer immediate, lasting relief with minimal discomfort and no prolonged downtime.

Service was excelentePosted on michelle staughtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Neuro hearing on Instagram and sent an enquiry about tinnitus. The audiologist, Weicen Yan called me back promptly to make an appointment. It was very helpful to understand that my hearing and tinnitus could be connected and that stress can make it worse. At 58 I have mild hearing loss, worse in my right ear, but it doesn’t worry me enough to act on it. Weicen suggested we monitor it over the next year or so and if it gets to a stage where I want address it, I would definitely ask Weicen for his assistance.Posted on Carol TaiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

One of my ears was itchy and I wasn't able to clean it up properly and Weicen did a full clean on the ears. No more itchy sensation in the ear and very reasonably priced.Posted on JanetTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Knowing little of audiologists, a quick ring around those in my area suggested not all clinics are equivalent in their services offered. I rang NeuroHearing, spoke with the audiologist Weicen Yan, who took the time to answer my questions and also discuss my hearing, which placed this practice well above all others I contacted. My assessment appointment was thorough and Weicen's explanations of each audiology test and the results and recommendations were clear and considerate. The fitting of appropriate hearing aids on a 30 day trial, which includes follow-up visits, were calibrated carefully to my individual needs. I highly recommend NeuroHearing and Weicen's caring, scientific and comprehensive services.
