Ear Wax is normal, and most people have it as its made by glands in the ear canal to protect from water and infection. If it's causing You or your Hearing Aids any problems, we can generally remove via micro suction (no water) or manual curets.
Impacted Wax is a common issue and while super annoying it generally isn't a medical emergency.
Some of the common symptoms include:
Temporary Hearing Loss
Tinnitus
Pain
Poor outcomes for Hearing Aid users as the tubing and mic ports get clogged up
The Microsuction Ear Wax Removal technique involves a small machine sucking the wax out without using water like in Irrigation techniques, and is generally considered to be the safter of the 2 common methods used and conveniently located for you in Bundaberg West
There is no Medicare Rebate on this item unless you get a Care Plan from you GP and they list Audiology as one or more of your visits. We give Pensioners a 50% discount on this item as it often interferes with successful use of hearing aids.
If you arrive and your ears are clear of wax, we will perform a discounted Diagnostic Hearing Test at same amount as the wax appointment was, for us to be able to rule out some of the medical causes of fullness in the ears.
Unless you have a hole in your Ear Drum (Perforation) using a wax softening agent like Waxol or Cerumol gives your Audiologist a better chance for removal. I would recommend a min of 3 days morning and night.
