The most advanced method of ear cleaning in Melbourne.
As an effective and non-invasive method, microsuction ear wax removal offers a safer alternative to traditional methods.
This technique allows for precise removal of ear wax without introducing water, reducing the risk of infections.
Adults: $110
Seniors 65 and over: $100
Students: $95
Children 10-16: $80
Booking is essential. Credit card and contactless payment only at this time.
All prices include GST. If there is no wax present in ears, a consultation fee of $55 apply.
There is no charge if you need to return for a second appointment following softening.
Microsuction appointments at earLAB are not covered by Medicare.
To start, we use an otoscope with an attached camera, allowing you to see inside your own ear canal.
We then examine your ears using specialised magnifying glasses to determine the cause of your discomfort.
If earwax is causing a blockage, a thin tube connected to a microsuction machine is gently inserted into the ear canal.
This tube only touches the wax, avoiding any contact with your ear canal or eardrum.
You may hear a soft whooshing or whistling sound during the suction process, which is completely normal. If you feel any discomfort, simply let us know.
Our Melbourne ear cleaning clinic is committed to ensuring a comfortable experience for every client.
Most people experience immediate relief as their ears become unblocked. In cases where the wax is very hard, we may use additional instruments alongside the microsuction.
On rare occasions, we might recommend olive oil ear drops to soften the wax, followed by a return visit for further removal.
At earLAB, our top priority is your comfort throughout the entire appointment. As a Melbourne-based ear cleaning clinic, our specialists take the time to explain each step of the process and answer any questions, ensuring your peace of mind.
Earwax is a natural and important part of ear health. It acts as a protective barrier against microorganisms, dirt, and other irritants that could harm the ear.
The ear has a self-cleaning mechanism where wax gradually moves from the inner ear to the outer ear, where it can eventually fall out. This process typically takes a couple of months.
The amount of earwax produced varies from person to person; sometimes, excessive wax can accumulate and lead to blockages that require medical treatment.
Some individuals produce more earwax than can be naturally removed, which can occur due to various health conditions.
These conditions include a narrowed ear canal, bone blockages, swimmer's ear or surfer's ear, eczema, and an overproduction of earwax resulting from an injury.
