Ideally we will be using a process known as micro-suction which is far safer than syringing. It is unusual for us to have to ask you to put drops in your ears before treatment to soften the wax. This means that most of our patients leave after their first visit with their hearing restored.
Micro suction Ear Wax Removal
- Microsuction is a procedure that uses a gentle suction to remove wax from the ear.
- Using specialist equipment, I can see directly into the ear canal and use a sterile suction tip to gently remove the wax.
- Microsuction is one of the safest and most comfortable methods to remove ear wax. It is a procedure that uses gentle suction to remove excessive or stubborn wax from the ears.
- Microsuction is the newest gold standard method for wax removal where no water is used in the procedure reducing the risk of infections and damage to the eardrum.
- Microsuction allows me to clearly see the ear canal during the full procedure which creates a much faster than previous methods of wax removal
Water Irrigation Ear Wax Removal
- Ear irrigation involves using a pressurised flow of water to remove the build-up of ear wax. This is a straightforward procedure where a controlled flow of water, at body temperature, is squirted into the ear through a purpose-made machine (an electronic ear irrigator) or spray wash bottle.
- To ensure that the ear cannot be damaged, the electronic irrigator has a variable pressure control so that irrigation can begin at the lowest pressure.
