You have probably been troubled by wax / infection / debris in your ears. Following discussion with your doctor he has advised micro suction or manual clearance of the wax / infection / debris. Micro suction is the removal of wax / infection / debris using a small suction tube and a fine suction end. This can be a bit noisy and whilst having the procedure you will need to keep as still as possible unless asked to move slightly. This is important as the doctor or nurse doing the procedure could accidentally injure the ear canal or your eardrum if you move without warning.
We are proud to be one of the leading clinics to provide microsuctioning in london. Our principal audiologist has had specialist training in microsuction ear wax removal, ensuring that patients feel comfortable on arrival by removing any apprehension about the procedure, and leave happy, with fully restored hearing. The accounts of satisfied patients speak for themselves.
Clinical ear care, otherwise known as wax removal, can be very beneficial to people using hearing aids to increase the usefulness of their aids. We call wax removal clinical ear care as we are able to use a variety of techniques in one session. These techniques may not all be needed and we would try for microsuction ear wax removal first.
Benefits of Microsuction Ear Wax Removal
microsuction
Unlike ear syringing or ear irrigation , where ear wax is flushed out ‘blindly’, with microscopic and microsuction ear wax removal the ear wax is being directly visualised under the microscope whilst it is being removed. This makes the procedure much quicker, safer and comfortable for the patient.
Ear wax removal is commonly carried out in gp surgeries or audiology clinics using ear irrigation which involves injecting a jet of water into the ear to remove the wax. Microsuction ear wax removal has many benefits in comparison: safer – the clinician can see what he/she is doing. Faster – it provides immediate results.

ear canal
When it comes to the safe and effective removal of earwax, there are three methods that an audiologist can use: irrigation, mechanical removal and microscopic suction (microsuction). many of you may be familiar with irrigation (flushing of the ear with warm water). mechanical removal requires excellent visualization of the ear canal while using an appropriately selected tool to remove the wax. these tools include various types of loops, scoops and forceps. microscopic suction involves suctioning “vacuuming” the ear canal while visualized under a microscope.
We mainly use microsuction as our preferred option as it is cleaner, non invasive and significantly quicker than irrigation and find that most people find it more comfortable. our recommendation if you have wax is to put olive oil, or preferably sodium bicarbonate ear drops in to your ears 2 to 3 days prior to your appointment as this will aid removal http://microsuction-london.s3-website.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/
