What is Microsuction?
Microsuction is a highly effective and safe method for removing excessive earwax. It is regarded as the gold standard in ear cleaning and is the preferred technique used by ENT specialists in the United Kingdom.
How Does Microsuction Work?
The microsuction procedure involves using a gentle suction device to remove earwax under the guidance of a specialised microscope. This allows our audiologists to precisely target and safely extract the earwax without the need for water or invasive tools.
Benefits of Microsuction
- Safe and Painless: Microsuction is a non-invasive procedure that is both safe and painless, minimising the risk of damage to the ear canal or eardrum.
- Highly Effective: The precision of the suction device ensures thorough removal of earwax, providing immediate relief from symptoms such as hearing loss, discomfort, and balance issues.
- Quick and Convenient: The procedure typically takes only a few minutes, making it a quick and convenient solution for earwax removal.
- No Water Involved: Unlike traditional ear syringing, microsuction does not involve the use of water, reducing the risk of infections or complications.
Who Can Benefit from Microsuction?
Microsuction is suitable for most people, including those with:
- Excessive or impacted earwax: Individuals experiencing hearing loss, ear discomfort, or balance problems due to earwax buildup.
- Sensitive ears or eardrums: Patients with a history of ear infections, perforated eardrums, or ear surgery.
- Hearing aid users: Hearing aids can sometimes cause earwax to become compacted, making regular removal essential.
