What is earwax?
Our ears produce a natural wax in our ears to protect and clean the ear canal - this usually falls out on its own. If the body produces too much of this wax it can become impacted, causing hearing issues or discomfort.
What is micro suction?
Micro suction ear wax removal is a treatment where a qualified hearing care professional removes ear wax using a compact suction device while looking into your ear. They'll look into the ear with a binocular microscope which offers a really clear view of the ear canal, making it easier to get rid of the ear wax with low-pressure suction.
Why Choose Micro Suction?
- Traditionally ear wax is removed using ear irrigation, which involves injecting a jet of water into the ear to help dislodge the wax. Ear irrigation is sometimes not effective and some patients may find it uncomfortable or unpleasant. It also increased a risk of an ear infection due to water in the ear canal.
- Micro suction is usually well tolerated by most people; it delivers excellent and instant results and tends to be much more effective than any of the traditional wax removal methods.
