Ask about ear wax removal
My ear feels full and I cannot hear properly
Wax builds up slowly, and most people only notice once the canal is almost closed. Sound fades, pressure grows, and everyday noises start to feel strange. These are the signs that something is sitting where it should not be.
- 1
Muffled hearing
Voices and music lose their sharpness. This often means wax is pressing against the eardrum or filling the canal.

- 2
A feeling of fullness
The ear feels stuffed, like after a flight. Wax trapped near the drum causes this pressure sensation.

- 3
Ringing or buzzing
A constant hum or high pitch appears when nothing is making noise. Compacted wax can irritate the inner ear.

- 4
Sudden change after water
Hearing drops right after a shower or swim. Water makes dry wax swell and block the canal completely.

How it works
Microsuction explained in plain terms
The audiologist looks into the ear with a small camera first. This shows exactly where the wax sits and how much needs removing before anything starts.
A thin tube uses gentle suction to lift the wax out. There is no water involved, so the process stays dry and controlled throughout.
Most appointments take around twenty minutes. The audiologist stops if there is any discomfort and checks the canal is clear before finishing.
Afterwards they may suggest ways to slow future build-up. Some ears produce more wax than others, so occasional repeat visits are normal.
