​Our services are carried out by trained professionals and our aim is always to provide safe, compassionate and expert care.
What is Microsuction?
​​Microsuction is used to remove wax and foreign objects from the external ear canal. It is the most
widely used procedure in otology clinics and most ENT doctors regard it as the safest way to clear
the ear canal of wax or debris when compared to irrigation or manual clearance. It is regarded as the gold standard for ear wax removal.
​
A fine tube is connected to a suction machine. We are able to view your ear canal with the aid of a microscope to allow us to see exactly where the wax build up is. This method is preferential for patients who have suffered problems with their ears previously, such as ear drum perforation.​​​​
What is Ear Irrigation?
Ear irrigation is a form of earwax removal. water is gently pumped into the ear canal at a controlled and steady rate. The water breaks down and dislodges the earwax, and flushes it out of the ear canal.
Not all clients are suitable for ear irrigation, this will be deciphered at the beginning of each appointment with a thorough ear examination.
Why is Ear Health Important?
Ear health is vital because while earwax protects your ear, excessive buildup can block the canal, causing muffled hearing, discomfort, balance issues, and trapping moisture which can lead to infections.
​
​​Earwax removal through microsuction offers benefits like instantly improved hearing, relief from muffled sounds, ringing, pressure, itching, and dizziness, plus it prevents infections by clearing blockages and allows for early detection of other ear issues, ensuring better ear health and comfort without the damage risks of DIY methods.
