Microsuction ear 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.
Some can: flush the wax out with water (ear irrigation) suck the wax out (microsuction) these treatments are usually painless. You might have to pay to have them done privately.
Is a treatment that has been around for a long time. It has increased in popularity over the years as patients prefer the experience and more medical professionals become certified to carry it out. In this article, we’re going to be taking a closer look at microsuction ear wax removal and when you may need it. Also, we’ll be looking at the main benefits of this method to see how it compares to private ear syringing.
Ear wax removal is relatively cheap. Prices start from £70, for both ears. We recommend using earol® for 5 days before your appointment. This olive oil based spray will help soften the wax, making it easier to remove. Please phone 0800 740 8286 if you need to rearrange your appointment. To cancel, you must give us at least two clear working days’ notice, otherwise your appointment will be non-refundable.
Your wax removal appointment will take around 30 mins. While we adjust to new social distancing guidance, it would be really helpful if you could attend your appointment alone. After asking a few questions to get a better understanding of the health of your ears, our clinician will examine your ear canals and ear drums by using an otoscope (magnifier with a light). They will record this information to help keep track of any changes in your ear over time. We’ll then talk you through the procedure and show you the equipment that will be used and explain how it works.
