The clinic’s operating hours will be Monday, Thursday and Friday 9am – 5pm.
The nurse looking after our patients at the Cairns clinic will be Jayne Moore. Jayne’s extensive background in nursing covers multiple countries and decades. Certified as an RN in the UK in the mid-eighties, her education continued to include Coronary Care Nursing at Leeds University, a Certificate in Contemporary NZ Nursing Practice through EIT NZ and most recently an Immunisation Program in Toowoomba.
Jayne provides advanced nursing knowledge and clinical direction to health care providers across Cairns, the Hinterlands and Torres Strait Hospital and Health Services. She has been an integral part of providing immunisations across Cairns High Schools as well as primary health care to patients from infants to the elderly.

How the Earworx Procedure Works
Earwax removal is the core of our business, and our nurses remove excess earwax every day. We use microsuction and curettage techniques, which are also used by Ear, Nose and Throat specialists.
When you visit our Cairns Central Plaza clinic, our nurse will first examine your ears to determine that earwax removal is clinically necessary. If so, you will have the chance to ask any questions about the procedure beforehand.
Using magnifying glasses fitted with a bright light, known as ‘loupes’, our nurse keeps your ear canal in direct view throughout the procedure. A tiny catheter attached to suction tubing is placed in your ear and works like a small vacuum to extract impacted earwax.
Earwax removal has never been easier. You can book an appointment at our Cairns clinic without a referral and the entire appointment can take as little as half an hour. Earworx nurses have substantial experience in earwax removal, and the procedure usually takes around 30 minutes.
Symptoms of Built-Up Earwax
Pain, coughing, dizziness, odour, itching, tinnitus or muffled hearing can all be symptoms of blocked ears. You are more likely to develop blocked ears if you:
- Swim or dive regularly
- Use a hearing aid
- Wear earphones frequently
- Work in a dusty or dirty environment
- Suffer from stress
- Attempt at-home ear cleaning with cotton buds or other objects
It is also possible to have a genetic predisposition that causes you to overproduce earwax. Having narrow, bendy or hairy ear canals can also lead to earwax becoming impacted more easily.
The solution to your uncomfortable symptoms could be as simple as an appointment at our Cairns Central Plaza clinic. Find out today by booking in your visit.
Why Choose Us
- If no ear wax is found during your appointment, we offer a reduced rate of $85 for the consultation (or $65 for concession – excludes Launceston and Ulverstone. Please refer to the individual clinic pages for fee information Launceston and Ulverstone).
- Our nurses are well trained in earwax removal using micro-suction technology and continue to gain experience on a daily basis.
- We use a ’dry’ earwax removal method, without water syringing. Your nurse will assess whether it is suitable if you take blood thinners or have diabetes, a perforated eardrum or a weakened immune system.
