Why Choose Wax Removal With Us Over Ear Syringing With Your GP?

According to a report by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), 38% of ear syringing procedures 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.

Choosing a combination of ear irrigation, microsuction, and curettage over traditional ear syringing or ear drops provides a comprehensive, personalized approach to wax removal, ensuring the safest and most effective outcome for each individual.

✔ Tailored to Your Needs – 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.

✔ 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. 

✔ 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 water trapped in the ear, our techniques offer immediate, lasting relief with minimal discomfort and no prolonged downtime.

✔ Suitable for a Wider Range of Patients – 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.
