cleaning is a technique doctors use to remove earwax. Before starting the earwax removal, a doctor will look into your ear canal using a microscope to find the blockage. Alternatively, they may also use a tiny camera with a light that fits into your ear canal called an endoscope. During the procedure, the doctor will use a tiny vacuum to gently provide suction to dislodge and remove the wax. Microsuction is less widely available than other techniques since the equipment is more expensive for clinics to purchase. It may make a good option for earwax removal when available, but you may need to visit an ear, nose, throat specialist to have it done.
