Carindale ear wax removal, both ears in one visit.
Ear wax removal in Carindale clears blocked or itchy ears with gentle water irrigation, performed by our nursing team under GP oversight. Both ears are usually treated in one visit, and microsuction is available if it suits you better.
Ear wax removal for the whole family
Ear wax build-up affects people of all ages, from young children with narrow ear canals to older adults whose wax becomes drier and harder. Ear wax removal at Carindale Doctors is available for the whole family, with gentle irrigation by our nursing team for most people and microsuction by a GP when irrigation isn’t suitable.
Both ears are usually treated in a single visit, so you only need one appointment. Before removal, your ears are checked to confirm wax is the problem and to choose the safest method. Afterwards, we’ll share simple tips to help keep wax from building up again.
In short: Carindale Doctors offers ear wax removal inside Westfield Carindale for adults and children, usually treating both ears in one visit. Gentle irrigation is performed by our nursing team, with GP microsuction available when needed. Children 16 and under are bulk billed, and Medicare rebates apply where eligible.

Ear wax issues at different ages
Ear wax problems look different at different ages:
- Children: narrow canals can trap wax, affecting hearing at school.
- Teens and adults: earbuds can push wax deeper.
- Older adults: drier, harder wax that builds up over time.
- Hearing aid users: aids block wax from clearing naturally.
We tailor removal and prevention to each family member.
