2. If your ears are painful, infected or bleeding please contact your Doctor and seek medical advice. At Hearing Professionals, we offer ear wax removal Melbourne by the curette method or by using micro-suction. C U R E T T E M E T H O D This is a dry method which uses a wax loop (or jobson horn) to remove pieces of wax. The wax loop is circular and has no edges for the safe removal of wax. This is done using a specialised bright light headlamp (Lumiview or Vorotek) which alters the bifocal vision of the clinician to look deep into the ear canal. This method is most common for hearing aid users. M I C R O - S U C T I O N At selected clinics, we use ENT surgical grade microscopes, which can look deep into the ear canal with magnification. This combined with a specialist medical grade micro-suction machine allows for the safe and painless removal of deep and/or stubborn ear wax. If possible the ear wax should be softened with a proprietary ear wax softening spray, available from your chemist, at least 2-3 days prior to your appointment.
