Launceston Ear Wax Removal

24/10/2026

Blocked ears can be caused by excessive ear wax and is a condition that affects 1 in 10 children and 1 in 20 adults. The most common symptoms of a blocked ear are a loss of hearing and a feeling of a fullness.

Ears are naturally self-cleaning, which means that they usually remove wax themselves. In fact, earwax is carried out of the ear via a migrating skin layer, assisted by jaw movement. However, for a range of reasons, this mechanism can become disrupted, and earwax can build-up and block the ear canal.

People more prone to ear wax build up include those that use cotton buds in their ears, wear hearing aids, are regular earphone users, or have narrow, bendy or hairy ear canals’. Signs and symptoms include hearing loss, feeling of fullness, tinnitus, itching, pain, discharge, odour or a cough.

Tara is a Registered Nurse with substantial experience, and additional qualifications, in earwax removal using microsuction, a dry technique performed with the ear canal under direct magnified view. Please feel free to book online or ring to book. Enquiries welcome.

Thanks from Tara

Putting ear wax removal off because you're nervous? Read this!

I get it. Something going in your ear sounds alarming.

But here's why microsuction is the painless option to wax removal:

It's performed by a Registered Nurse, me, with additional qualifications in Microsuction, and I can see everything! Magnified, lit, the whole canal in view. No guessing, no blind flushing, no warm water shooting past your eardrum.

And you're in control the whole time. Want a break? Say so.

Want me to stop and explain? Ask. It's your ear and your appointment.

The people who dread it most are usually the ones who walk out saying "Was that it?" 😅

Come and get it sorted!

This Thankyou was extra special as it arrived via post from Finland. My customer was visiting on holiday. Plus I now know how to say thanks in Finnish (Kiitos).

So that was me. Plus I am now the proud owner of a Waxscope. The clarity when viewing ears is unbelievable. I am currently the only Ear Wax Removal Nurse in Tasmania to practice using this specialist device.

Kyle L. Recently came to clinic for treatment of a blocked ear and very reduced hearing as a result. He left a lovely google review for me. The rest of my google reviews are also on my website. Of course if you would rather speak to me first before booking feel free to ring and have a chat first. Thanks from Tara 0418 900 351
“After experiencing a blocked ear for over a week and having no success, I booked a same-day appointment with Tara at Launceston Ear Wax Removal via their simple online system.

Tara was highly professional and knowledgeable, and resolved the issue quickly. My hearing was fully restored by the end of the appointment.

I highly recommend Tara and Launceston Ear Wax Removal.”
