One in ten children and one in 20 adults suffer from a of ear wax. While a healthy amount of ear wax may protect the skin in our ears and prevent infections, excessive wax can become a problem.
Founded in 2016, Earworx uses similar techniques to other ear, nose and throat specialists. Our professional curettage and micro-suction procedures are safe, pain-free and produce outstanding results.
How the Earworx Procedure Works
We take the time to examine your ears and assess for wax build up, particularly around the eardrum.
If you need one of our extraction procedures, our friendly nurse will use a pair of ‘loupes’. These are quite similar to binoculars with a light attached to the top, and it helps our nurses have the best view of your ear canals.
The process then involves a gentle micro-suction procedure and curettage to safely clean any blockages from each of your ears.
Why You Might Need Ear Wax Removal
Excess ear wax can cause an uncomfortable sensation and even lead to hearing loss for some.
Depending on what you do for work, or your interests, there are a range of reasons you should see us. If your activities include swimming, surfing, listening to music through headphones, working in a dusty environment, or if you use hearing aids, then our services will be highly beneficial.
Our approach will help ease the pressure in your ears and minimise any future problems.
Pricing
Ear wax is removed for a flat rate of $120 in Newcastle, and $95 concession for veterans, pensioners, health care card holders and children under 18 years Australia wide. If a second appointment is required this will be complimentary. This fee is paid at the time of the appointment via debit / credit card. This fee is partly rebatable through St Lukes Health or Health Care Insurance, depending on your level of cover. Please contact St Lukes or your Health Care Insurance provider directly to ascertain the amount of your health care fund rebate. If no wax is found in your ears at the time of your appointment, a reduced $60 rate applies.
