Ear wax removal using microsuction, is an examination and treatment of the ear using a microscope and camera. We use a miniature vacuum cleaner, which hoovers the ear to extract wax. Microsuction is considered much safer than syringing. Our team of Audiologist, Clinicians and Doctors are dedicated to providing a professional and comfortable experience.
The process is usually over in a few minutes and the majority of people find it easy and comfortable. The process is the safest way to remove ear wax as the professional can see everything they are doing during the removal.
Unlike ear syringing or ear irrigation, where ear wax is flushed out without a view of the ear canal, during microsuction, the ear canel and the ear wax is being directly viewed with the microscope whilst it is being removed. This makes the procedure much quicker, safer and comfortable for the patient.
The procedure is performed by Doctors, Audiologist and Nurses.
