Ear wax removal using Microsuction
It is not advised that wax is cleared by the use of cotton buds, as this very often pushes it towards the eardrum and can cause even more problems and it is difficult to remove. you should never poke anything down your ear with the view of relieving the problem yourself; the lining of the ear is very delicate and can easily be damaged. There are home removal kits available, however, these need to be used carefully. Hopi ear candles just don’t work, it is a sham. micro-suction earwax leaves it to one of our registered clinical specialists to remove the wax for you.
Ear wax removal is carried out as a day case procedure, so there is no need to stay in hospital overnight.
Unlike ear syringing or even the safer ear irrigation, there is no water used, which means less mess generally. When undertaking micro-suction, the canal and the ear wax is being directly viewed with a microscope or a set of loupes (microscopic glasses) whilst it is being removed. This makes the procedure much quicker, safer and comfortable for the patient.
Wax microsuction is the gold standard ear wax removal technique. It involves the use of an air suction device at low operating pressure to remove wax from the ear, all performed under an operating microscope. It is the safest and quickest means to conveniently remove ear wax and allows full visualisation of the ear canal so that any touching of the sensitive skin layer or fine hairs within the ear canal can, in most instances, be avoided.
As the ears are self-cleaning, we recommend that you should never use cotton buds or insert anything in your ears as this is likely to cause further problems. If you’re creating excessive amounts of ear wax and have a build-up, this is when ear wax removal is required.
Although the ear has a natural mechanism for the removal of wax it is recognised that certain people do experience problems with accumulation of excess wax that may require additional help. Factors such as narrow, hairy or obstructed ear canals, hearing aid or earplug use, as well as dusty/dirty occupations all contribute to a build-up of earwax and using cotton buds only serves to push the debris back in further, often impacting the wax in the process.This can give rise to deafness, tinnitus, vertigo, pain and or discharge.
