Your ears are your connection to the world. Conversations, music, and the everyday sounds you rely on all depend on hearing clearly. When muffled hearing, blockages, or ear pain start to get in the way, they can quietly limit how you connect with people and how you get through your day.

At Ears Cleared, we take the time to understand what’s going on for you. We listen to your concerns and explain what we see. Then we use state-of-the-art microsuction equipment to carefully remove wax and debris, with a clear view of your ear canal, so you get relief and can hear more comfortably. Visits are calm and unhurried, and most people leave lighter and better able to hear. ACC claims are welcome. Book online today and get your ears cleared.

What Is Ear Microsuction?

Microsuction is a precise method of removing earwax and other foreign objects from the ear canal. Considered the gold standard by many ENT specialists, the procedure is performed under direct vision, allowing for greater precision and eliminating the guesswork associated with other methods.

It also avoids introducing water into the ear canal, reducing the risk of irritation and complications associated with water-based ear wax removal.

Common Questions

Do I need a referral?

No referral needed — you can book directly, whether you're a new patient or returning.

1


Does ear microsuction hurt?

2

No. Most people feel nothing more than gentle pressure or the sound of suction — it's usually more comfortable than syringing.


Is it covered by ACC?

3

If your ear problem was caused by an injury and you have an ACC claim number you may qualify. If you have hearing aids through ACC we can also help.


Should I do anything before my appointment?

4

Remove hearing aids beforehand if you can, and let us know if you have grommets, and any past ear surgery or perforation.
