I have been a client of Hearing & Audiology for about 10 years and in that time have purchased two sets of hearing aids from them. Mostly Gabe has attended to me but so too have Tina and Chantal on occasion. I have experienced only outstanding quality and professional service from all, including Julie at Reception. Gabe always goes the extra mile and his dedication and professionalism is unequivocally commended.

In just 30 minutes, the audiologist will assess your ear health, safely remove earwax using micro-suction, and perform a hearing screening.
We take a personalised approach, carefully assessing your hearing condition to determine the most effective testing and treatment options. Our goal is to help you restore comfort, clarity, and confidence in your daily life.
What Leads to Wax Blockage?
Some common causes of wax blockage include:
- A narrow or curved ear canal increases the risk of wax buildup.
- Using cotton buds or inserting foreign objects into the ear can lead to blockages.
- Wearing hearing aids may contribute to earwax accumulation.
Why Cotton Buds Aren't Effective
When we clean our ears with cotton buds, we may unknowingly push wax further into the ear canal. Over time, this buildup can become compacted, leading to blockages. The deeper the wax is forced, the more difficult it becomes to clear it out.
The Importance of Ear Wax Removal Wattleup
- Why Ear Wax Builds Up – As we age, earwax can become harder and more compact, leading to blockages.
- Signs of Excess Ear Wax – Common symptoms include muffled hearing, ringing in the ears dizziness, and discomfort.
- How Ear Wax Affects Hearing – A blockage can reduce hearing clarity, making conversations difficult and impacting daily life.
- Safe Removal Methods – Professional ear cleaning is safer than cotton swabs, which can push wax deeper.
- Benefits of Clear Ears – Improved hearing, better communication, and reduced risk of ear infections.
- When to Seek Help – If experiencing persistent hearing issues, a professional earwax removal service can provide relief.
After the Ear Wax is Removed Wattleup
Many individuals report experiencing a similar sensation of blockage with untreated hearing loss as they do with earwax buildup.
If you’ve had wax removed but still feel a blockage or notice that your hearing hasn’t improved, scheduling a hearing evaluation is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wax Removal In Perth
How do I know if I need professional ear wax removal?
If you’re experiencing symptoms like muffled hearing, ear discomfort, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), dizziness, or a feeling of fullness in your ear, you may have a build-up of earwax. If home remedies like olive oil drops haven’t worked, it’s best to seek professional ear wax removal to safely and effectively clear the blockage.
Is ear wax removal painful?
No, professional ear wax removal is usually a painless procedure. Methods such as microsuction, irrigation, or manual removal are designed to be safe and comfortable. Some people may feel a slight tickling sensation or mild discomfort, but there should be no pain.
How often should I have ear wax removal?
This depends on how quickly your ears produce wax. Some people may need treatment every 6–12 months, while others may not require it as frequently. If you’re prone to wax build-up or wear hearing aids, regular check-ups with a professional may help prevent blockages.
Is microsuction better than ear syringing?
Microsuction is generally considered the safest and most effective method for wax removal. It uses a gentle suction device to remove wax without the use of water, reducing the risk of infection or damage to the ear. Ear syringing (or irrigation) can still be effective but may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with a history of ear infections or perforated eardrums.
Can I remove ear wax at home?
While some people find that using olive oil drops or over-the-counter ear drops can help soften earwax, it’s not always effective for complete removal. Cotton buds, ear candles, or other objects should never be used, as they can push wax deeper into the ear or cause damage. If you frequently experience wax build-up or have persistent symptoms, it’s best to visit a professional for safe and effective removal.
