THE TREATMENT

Microsuction ear wax removal

Microsuction is a commonly used method of earwax removal. Using specialist equipment and direct visual guidance, earwax is carefully removed from the ear canal without the use of water.

Many clients notice relief from symptoms, and some experience an improvement in hearing after treatment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions About Ear Wax Removal

Will deep earwax eventually come out?

Yes, in most cases. The ear has a natural self-cleaning mechanism that slowly moves wax from the deeper parts of the ear canal outward. However, if wax is impacted or hardened, it may not come out on its own and may require professional removal. Our ear health assessment will determine whether removal is appropriate for you.

What should you not do after microsuction?

After microsuction, avoid putting anything in your ear canal, including cotton buds, fingers, or eardrops unless specifically advised by your practitioner. Also, try to keep water out of your ears for a few days - use earplugs or a cotton ball with petroleum jelly when showering. If you experience any discomfort, pain, or unusual discharge, contact your practitioner promptly.

Which is safer, ear syringing or microsuction?

Microsuction is generally considered safer than ear syringing. Syringing uses water pressure, which carries risks of infection, perforation of the eardrum, and dizziness. Microsuction uses a gentle suction device under direct visual guidance (using a microscope or endoscope), making it more precise and less likely to cause complications. It's the preferred method for many healthcare professionals.

Where does olive oil go when you put it in your ear?

Olive oil is designed to soften earwax, making it easier to move naturally out of the ear. The oil stays in the ear canal to soften the wax. It doesn't travel beyond the eardrum (which is a barrier). Over time, the softened wax and the oil will naturally work their way out of the ear. However, if wax is deeply impacted, the oil may not be enough to clear it.

Should I oil my ears before microsuction?

In many cases, using olive oil or other eardrops for 2-3 days before microsuction can help soften the wax, making removal easier and more comfortable. However, you should follow your practitioner's specific advice. If you have a history of ear problems, perforated eardrum, or ear infections, do not use drops without consulting a professional first.

Does microsuction give instant relief?

Many clients experience immediate relief from symptoms such as a blocked feeling, muffled hearing, or tinnitus after microsuction. However, results vary from person to person. Some people notice an improvement in hearing right away, while others may need a short adjustment period as the ear adapts to the clear canal. Your practitioner will discuss what to expect based on your individual assessment.
