About Earworx
If you’re looking for professional earwax removal in Coffs Harbour, you need to visit the Earworx clinic.
Earworx was established in 2016 in Tasmania by Registered Nurse Lisa Hellwege. Her goal was to provide her clients with relief from built-up and impacted earwax using the safe and effective method of micro-suction. Since its inception, several more Earworx clinics have opened up across Australia, providing thousands of ears with relief from the symptoms that blocked ears cause.

How the Earworx Procedure Works
Earwax is a naturally occurring substance which helps to keep your ear canals lubricated and protected from unwanted dust and microorganisms. However, some people experience excessive earwax production, which can build-up and block the ear canal. The symptoms of such a blockage can be uncomfortable, which is why Earworx is here to help.
When you visit our clinic, we will first assess your ears in order to determine whether there is enough wax build-up to necessitate removal. If so, we use the gentle and pain-free techniques of micro-suction and curettage to carefully remove the built-up wax.

Why You Might Need Earwax Removal
Approximately 1 in 10 children and 1 in 20 adults suffer from blocked ears due to impacted wax. The symptoms of this blockage range from itchiness to dizziness to pain. As such, living with a blocked ear can be somewhat debilitating.
If you are more susceptible to wax build-up, it’s a good idea to visit Earworx regularly. For example, if you wear hearing aids, earplugs or earphones regularly, are a swimmer or surfer, or work in a particularly dirty or dusty environment, you are much more prone to excessive wax production and could benefit greatly from professional wax removal.
Pricing
Ear wax is removed for a flat rate of $120 in Coffs Harbour, 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.
