Ear microsuction for hearing aid users, swimmers and more
Some people are more prone to wax build-up or ear problems than others. Hearing aid users often find their aids push wax deeper and whistle when the canal is blocked. Swimmers and surfers can develop narrow, bony canals that trap wax. People who wear earbuds all day, and older adults whose wax becomes drier and harder, also commonly need help.
Ear microsuction at Carindale Doctors suits all of these groups. Because it’s dry, it’s also a good choice for people who need to avoid water in their ears. Your GP will clear the wax under magnification and give tailored advice to help keep your ears clear between visits.
In short: Carindale Doctors offers ear microsuction inside Westfield Carindale for hearing aid users, swimmers, earbud users and older adults prone to wax build-up. It’s dry, performed under magnification and usually brings clearer hearing straight away. Medicare rebates apply to the consultation where eligible.
