ENT (Otolaryngology)

Ear wax removal

Safe removal of built-up earwax that's causing blockage, discomfort, or reduced hearing.

When this is typically needed

  • Feeling of fullness in the ear
  • Reduced hearing on one or both sides
  • Mild earache or itching

What it involves

Removal using specialised instruments, suction, or irrigation — done safely in-clinic rather than at home.

What to expect

Relief is usually immediate once the wax is cleared, with hearing returning to normal right away.
