Ear Wax Removal (Microsuction)
Problems associated with wax accumulation include:

ear pain
itching
odour or discharge
dizziness
Micro-suction (Ear Wax Removal)
Micro-suction is a wax removal technique using a precision, low pressure suction apparatus to gently and safely extract un-wanted or obstructing skin cells and wax from the external auditory meatus (ear canal).
It avoids touching the sensitive area around the ear canal and avoids contact with the eardrum.
Why is micro-suction better?
Compared to traditional forms of wax removal – ear drops and irrigation or syringing, micro=suction is:
Safer
Quicker
Cleaner and neater
Generally better tolerated, with less side effects
More effective and likely to need only one appointment
Doesn’t need weeks of waiting for drops to soften the wax
Micro-suction may still be possible for people who struggle to use oil prior to treatment
