How the Earworx Procedure Works
At your appointment, Sandra will first examine the extent of your earwax impaction by carefully inserting a speculum into your ear canal. If earwax removal is clinically indicated, Sandra will also provide the opportunity to ask questions about the procedure.
The procedure itself is safe, efficient and painless. Our nurses wear ‘loupes’, which are magnifying glasses fitted with a bright light that enables clear vision of your ear canal. By inserting a tiny micro-suction catheter attaching to suction tubing into your ear, our nurse will be able to gently extract excess earwax and relieve the uncomfortable symptoms that come with blocked ears.
To learn more about our earwax removal procedure, you can find more information here.
Why You Might Need Earwax Removal
Symptoms of impacted earwax include dizziness, pain, tinnitus, coughing, itching, odour or even hearing loss. The symptoms can arise due to frequent earphone use, wearing a hearing aid, swimming or diving regularly, working in a dirty or dusty environment, undergoing excessive stress or attempting to remove earwax yourself at home.
Some patients are genetically prone to overproducing earwax or have narrow, bendy or hairy ear canals that are more likely to become impacted with wax.
Pricing
Our qualified registered nurses use dry and effective micro suction to gently remove ear wax under direct observation.
The standard appointment fee for ear wax removal with Earworx is $165.
We offer a concession appointment fee for Pensioners, Veterans, Government Health Care Card Holders, Children, and Full-Time Students for $120.
If no ear wax is found during your appointment, we offer a reduced rate of $80 for the consultation (or $60 for concession).
If further follow up appointments are required after additional softening (within 4 weeks of initial appointment), all follow up appointments will be charged at a rate of $75 for standard fee paying patients (or $45 for concession).
A regular return rate applies for patients who attend within 3 months or more frequently. This is $100 for regular return standard fee paying patients and $90 for regular concession/pension card holders.
Please note we are a provider for St Lukes Health and Health Care Insurance (HCI).
We also see children aged 4 years or older. A discussion with Earworx staff is recommended prior to booking. For safety reasons children need to be able to follow direction and keep reasonably still.
