Safe, gentle removal by an audiologist using irrigation. We look inside so you see exactly what we’re dealing with before we start.
We choose the method based on what the otoscopy shows — not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Micro-suction or irrigation, based on what the otoscopy shows and what’s most comfortable.

Yes, with age-appropriate technique and extra care. Let us know when booking so we can prepare accordingly.
Thirty minutes at your nearest branch. Most people feel the difference before they’ve left the chair.
