Ear wax, medically known as cerumen, plays a vital role in protecting the ear canal. However, excessive buildup can lead to discomfort, hearing impairment, and even infection.

At our clinic, we offer advanced ear wax removal services using micro-suction and irrigation methods. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the benefits of these techniques and why they are preferred choices for safe and effective ear wax removal.

Understanding Ear Wax Buildup

You cannot prevent earwax. It’s there to protect your ears from dirt and germs. But regularly using ear-drops, or olive or almond oil, will help soften earwax build-up. This will help it fall out on its own and should stop your ears getting blocked.

Micro-suction: A Gentle Approach

Micro-suction ear wax removal is a non-invasive procedure performed by healthcare professionals to safely remove excess ear wax from the ear canal. It involves using a specialised suction device with a thin probe to gently suction out the wax while visualising the ear canal through our top of the range otoscope.

Irrigation: Flushing Away Buildup

A gentle stream of warm water is used to dislodge and flush out accumulated wax, providing relief and restoring hearing clarity.

Benefits of Micro-suction and Irrigation

These methods more preferred than traditional techniques like ear candling or manual removal with tools as it is a more gentle and more effective way in removing stubborn wax while minimising the risk of complications such as perforated eardrums.
