Suction Ears is operated by a dedicated team of local audiologists who identified a growing need for specialised ear wax removal services. Ear wax build-up can lead to issues such as ear pain, tinnitus, imbalance, and even temporary hearing loss. Additionally, individuals with ear perforations or ongoing ear infections often cannot use water-based ear cleaning methods. This is where Suction Ears steps in to provide a safe, effective, and gentle solution.
Our team consists of accredited audiologists who are equipped with years of experience and a passion for ear care. We prioritise patient safety and satisfaction, and each audiologist has a Working with Children Check, making us a trusted choice for families. Suction Ears was founded by Vicky Lim, an audiologist with over 13 years of experience, who decided to focus on microsuction ear wax removal due to its precision and patient comfort. We are committed to expanding our services as we grow to meet the needs of our community.
“We don’t use the traditional methods of irrigation, which are water-based and carry certain risks,” says Vicky. “The microsuction technique is vacuum-based, highly effective, and considered the safest for ear cleaning.”
Microsuction is a gentle and non-invasive method that uses a small suction device to carefully remove ear wax under direct visual guidance, ensuring minimal discomfort and no exposure to water. This makes it ideal for patients with sensitive ears or medical conditions that prevent the use of water-based methods.
It’s important not to use foreign objects such as cotton buds, toothpicks, pins, or candling in your ears, as these can push wax further into the ear canal or cause serious injury. “We always advise: don’t put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear!” Vicky cautions.
Affordable and Accessible Ear Care
Suction Ears understands that ear care should be accessible to everyone. Many clinics charge a flat rate, even if no wax is present, and do not consider special rates for children or concession card holders. At Suction Ears, we offer concession rates for pensioners, seniors, and students, and provide services to children aged 5 and above (as long as they can sit still). If no wax is found, you will only be charged a flat-rate consultation fee. For returning clients, we also offer discounted follow-up visits to make ongoing care more affordable.
For those with private health insurance that covers audiology services, you may be able to claim a portion of your consultation cost, adding even more value to our services.
Flexible, Convenient Services — We Come to You!
We believe in making ear care convenient and stress-free. Suction Ears offers in-home visits, workplace appointments, and even school visits for children. We understand that coming to a clinic isn’t always feasible for everyone, so we bring our services directly to you. Our team is available on weekdays and Saturdays to fit around your schedule.
