What is ear wax microsuction?

Microsuction is a safe, and effective method of ear wax removal. Unlike older techniques like ear syringing, which uses pressurised water, microsuction is far more controlled and reduces the risk of discomfort or damage. The procedure involves using a precision suction device under magnification to gently extract wax from your ears.
This technique allows our team to carefully remove wax without touching sensitive areas such as the ear canal walls or eardrum. It’s quick, painless, and highly effective at resolving hearing issues caused by wax blockages.

Ear microsuction is typically regarded as the safest way to remove excess ear wax, especially when its compared to older techniques.

When should you get your ear wax removed?

Normally, the body naturally clears excess wax from your ears, but sometimes it can build up and cause problems.

Signs that you might have excess ear wax and would benefit from microsuction include:

• Hearing loss
• Discomfort or pain in the ear
• Tinnitus
• Frequent infections
• Difficulty using hearing aids

If you’re noticing any of these issues, it’s worth booking an appointment with us for a professional assessment. As always if you have consistent ear pain, discoloured ear wax or a fever consult your GP as you may have an infection.
