Microsuction ear wax removal
A highly effective and gentle procedure that uses vacuum technology to remove excess ear wax.
What is microsuction?
Microsuction ear wax removal is a highly effective and gentle procedure that uses vacuum technology to remove excess ear wax. Your audiologist can see clearly inside the ear canal throughout, so wax is removed safely and precisely.
Why is it better than syringing?
Ear syringing is generally discouraged as a primary method of ear wax removal due to potential complications, ineffectiveness and a lack of precision. The force of water being pushed into the ear canal can lead to ear infections, damage to the ear drum, or even further impacted ear wax.
Safer alternatives, like microsuction, dry removal tools and specialised ear drops, are recommended. Gentle irrigation can be used as a tool alongside microsuction where the ear drum is known to be intact.
Ear wax has natural antibacterial properties, so we aim to leave a small amount within the ear canal to help safeguard your ears.
