How the Earworx Procedure Works
Earworx use the micro-suction technique to remove excess and impacted earwax from our patients’ ears. Earwax is a normal and naturally occurring substance which helps to protect our ears from foreign bodies. However, sometimes the ear can produce too much wax, or earwax can become built up and stuck deep inside the ear canals. This can cause pain, discomfit, hearing problems, and other issues.
When you visit an Earworx clinic, one of our registered nurses will examine the insides of your ears using loupes, or special binocular glasses. This allows them to see the entire ear canal, keeping this delicate part of your body safe during the procedure. If the nurse determines that wax removal is required, they will use micro-suction to remove excess wax. This works like a small vacuum to gently suck wax out of the ear, without the need for water or other substances. It is gentle, fast and safe.
Why You Need Earwax Removal
If you’re suffering from sore, blocked ears, or you feel like you can’t hear as well as usual, you may need an earwax removal. Impacted earwax can be uncomfortable and painful, and it can even lead to serious medical problems if left untreated. People who are more likely to suffer from built up earwax include people who wear hearing aids, earplugs, or earphones regularly, swimmers and divers, and people who work in dirty or dusty environments. Some people are also genetically predisposed to producing excessive earwax.

Our qualified registered nurses use dry and effective micro suction to gently remove ear wax under direct observation.
