How it works
A pharmacist uses a microscope and a low-pressure suction device to gently remove earwax from your ear canal.
Benefits
Microsuction is a quick procedure that doesn't use water, so it's cleaner and more comfortable than other methods. You can usually go home the same day and should notice an immediate improvement in your symptoms.
When it's used
Microsuction is recommended for people who shouldn't have water in their ears, such as those with a perforated eardrum, a history of thick ear discharge, or who have had ear surgery.
Aftercare
After the procedure, you should avoid strenuous activity for 1-2 days. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers if you experience any discomfort.
Side effects
Possible side effects include dizziness, discomfort, reduced hearing, infection, or trauma to the ear.
Symptoms of Ear Wax Build-Up
Ear wax build-up can cause a range of symptoms, including:
- Hearing loss
- Earache or a feeling of fullness in the ear
- Tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ear)
- Vertigo (dizziness)
- Ear infections
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to address the issue promptly to avoid further complications.
Before carrying out earwax removal, we perform a comprehensive ear health check and a hearing review to assess the condition of your ears. This allows us to confirm that microsuction is suitable and ensures the procedure is carried out safely and effectively.
