Microsuction
Quick, easy, and safe comfortable method of earwax removal
What is Microsuction?
Wax removal via Microsuction is one of the safest and most comfortable method of earwax removal, with no liquids being used, there is no fuss or mess during the procedure. The fact that the ear canal is being observed throughout the process using a high-powered microscope and a small, very thin, steel wand type fitting attached to a suction pipe, makes it an exceptionally safe procedure.

A typical session
The procedure is quick, easy, and safe. Typically, both ears can be treated within 30 minutes. In general, the procedure is not painful at all, although it can be somewhat noisy. The skin inside the ear canal is sensitive so it is important to stay still when asked to do so.
What should I do before the appointment?
Use olive oil drops (Earol Olive Oil Spray 10ml) for at least 5 days before the appointment to soften any wax build-up to make it easier to remove.
Symptoms and impact of earwax build-up
Most of the time, our ears keep themselves clean and free of debris, but there are occasions when it doesn’t happen, your age or a possible infection might cause a build up. See some of the symptoms associated with earwax build-up below:
- Difficulty hearing
- Sensation of fullness in the ear
- Itchiness in the ear
- A ringing sound (tinnitus)
FAQs
Our current Prices are £40 for one ear and £75 for both ears.
If you attend your appointment and no wax can be removed due to infection and or other problems, there will be a £30 consultation fee for advice given on the issue.
Most of the time, our ears keep themselves clean and free of debris, but there are occasions when it doesn’t happen, your age or a possible infection might cause a build up. If you have a wax build-up, an infection or some unwanted debris in the ear, your specialist may decide the best way to make things right is via ear microsuction.
Because the process is carried out with the help of a powerful microscope, more wax and other debris can be reached and removed. The procedure tends to be quicker and more comfortable than other forms of wax removal. The main benefit after is usually a significant improvement in hearing.
In general the procedure isn’t painful at all, although it can be somewhat noisy. The skin inside the ear canal is sensitive so it’s important to stay still when asked to do so.
Many people choose to have an ear microsuction procedure on a regular basis to keep their ears cleaned, although the regularity always depends on the individual needs of the patient. Some choose to undergo micro-suction every three months while others may do so once a year. As always, it will be up to the patient to decide, we will always be happy to offer advice.
