Impacted earwax is one of the most common causes of temporary hearing loss, tinnitus, and ear discomfort. At Echo Audiology Centre, we provide both adults and children with expert and safe earwax removal services. In addition to interfering with proper hearing tests, excessive earwax (cerumen) can induce tinnitus, dizziness, ear discomfort, and hearing loss. After a comprehensive ear examination, certified audiologists at Echo Audiology remove earwax using evidence-based treatments approaches. Our methods ensures efficient removal while lowering the chance of harm to the ear canal or eardrum by putting patient comfort, safety, and infection management first. Patients are also given recommendations on how to take care of their ears and avoid wax accumulation in the future.
Microsuction is the preferred method of earwax removal used by ENT specialists and audiologists worldwide. It involves using a small, medical-grade suction device to gently remove wax under constant visualization.
Unlike traditional ear syringing (irrigation), which can bee uncomfortable, microsuction is precise, safe, and significantly faster.
Using Q-tips or cotton buds often pushes earwax deeper into the canal, pressing it against the eardrum. This can lead to impaction, trauma, or even eardrum rupture. Professional removal is the only way to safely clear the canal.
We examine your ear with an otoscope to confirm the level of wax impaction.
Using syringing or a gentle suctioning tool, the wax is removed while you sit comfortably
We verify the health of the eardrum once the canal is clear.
If needed, we perform a quick check to ensure your hearing has fully returned.
