Understanding Earwax Buildup
Earwax (or cerumen) is a natural part of your ear’s self‑care system — it helps clean, protect, and moisturize the ear canal. Normally, it works its way out on its own through simple jaw movements like talking and chewing.
Over time, though, wax can build up and cause discomfort or muffled hearing. This often happens from regular use of earbuds or hearing aids, working in dusty environments, or natural changes to the ear as we age.
Symptoms of Earwax Buildup
- Difficulty hearing
- Discomfort or pain
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- A sense of fulness in the ear
- Itchiness of the ear
- Unusual odour
- Discharge from the ear
- Dizziness
- Nausea

Ear Wax Removal FAQS
What is the best way to remove earwax?
Earwax removal should always be entrusted to a trained specialist. Avoid inserting items like cotton swabs into your ears, as this can pose risks. Book your appointment with us today for safe and effective earwax removal.
What causes excessive earwax?
Earwax buildup can occur due to factors such as narrow or damaged ear canals, excessive hair in the ear, skin conditions affecting the scalp or ear area, or inflammation within the ear canal. These conditions can make it harder for earwax to naturally clear, leading to a buildup.
What is ear microsuction and is it safe?
Microsuction is the most commonly recommended method for earwax removal, known for being one of the safest techniques. The procedure typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes and provides a simple, effective way to clean the ears. A metal ear speculum and a thin nozzle are gently inserted into the ear, allowing excess wax to be removed using a small suction device.
Why do my ears hurt when flying?
Ear pain during flying is often caused by changes in air pressure, which can affect the air-filled space in your middle ear. As the plane ascends or descends, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of your ear can lead to discomfort. While there is no evidence to suggest that earwax directly causes this pain, completely blocked ears can hinder the pressure equalisation process, potentially worsening discomfort.
How do I know if I need earwax removal?
You may need earwax removal if you experience symptoms such as ear discomfort, a feeling of fullness or blockage, difficulty hearing, or ringing in the ears. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to consult a specialist to determine if earwax buildup is the cause. Book your appointment today, and we’ll guide you on the next steps.
Is it okay to proceed with my hearing test if it's scheduled on the same day as my earwax removal appointment?
It’s generally recommended to allow some time between your earwax removal and hearing test appointments. Microsuction can temporarily alter your hearing sensitivity, which may affect the accuracy of your hearing test. For the best results, it’s advisable to schedule your hearing test 24 hours after your earwax removal.
