Earwax Removal Done Gently, Right in Oakville

At Clarity Hearing Clinic of Oakville, comfort comes first. We offer four professional earwax removal methods — including our warm-water Earigator irrigation system, gentle microsuction, traditional irrigation, and manual curetting — so we can match the safest, most comfortable approach to your ears.

Ear Irrigation — The Earigator System

The Earigator system uses a gentle, continuous stream of body-temperature water to safely soften and flush away wax, while a built-in camera lets us watch the ear canal throughout. Because the water is warmed to body temperature, most patients feel little more than a light, comfortable pressure — no cold shock, no pushing wax deeper the way cotton swabs can.

Microsuction

Microsuction is our gentlest option: using a fine suction wand under magnified, direct vision, we draw wax away with no water and no instruments touching the eardrum. It's quick, virtually silent, and a great choice for sensitive ears, perforated eardrums, or anyone who has felt uncomfortable with irrigation in the past.

Traditional Ear Irrigation

Traditional ear irrigation uses a handheld syringe or irrigator to gently flush the ear canal with warm water, loosening and washing away wax buildup. It's a well-established, effective method, and we take extra care to keep the water at body temperature and the pressure gentle, so the experience stays comfortable from start to finish.

Manual Curetting

Manual curetting uses a fine, curved instrument (a curette) or an otoscope with a built-in light to remove wax directly under visual guidance. It's ideal for wax that's stuck close to the outer ear or for removing a single stubborn piece precisely, and because we can see exactly what we're doing at every moment, it's both quick and gentle.
