What is Microsuction Ear Wax Removal & Is it Safe?
There are several traditional methods of removing ear wax from the ears, such as ear irrigation and ear syringing. While these methods are effective, they have risks because they involve flushing water into the ear to remove the wax. This can cause infections and, in some cases, cause pain during the procedure.
Microsuction ear wax removal is an alternative ear wax removal process that is safer, easier and strongly recommended.
Our micro suction ear wax removal in Hatfield is done by certified professionals using the latest ear wax removal equipment to ensure the safety and effective removal of ear wax. The process is quick, taking about 5 minutes to complete, making it ideal for children as well.
Before the microsuction procedure is conducted, we examine the ear using a microscope to ensure there is wax and there are no additional problems in the ear canal. We then use a gentle suction tube to remove the ear wax without causing pain or discomfort inside the ear.
Overall, micro suction is better for your ear health compared to the more traditional methods of ear wax removal. It offers targeted ear wax removal that lowers the risk of accidental damage to the ear and is comfortable.
Another reason to try our micro suction ear wax removal in Hatfield is because it is safe for kids. The process only takes a few minutes to complete. It is also painless, which makes it easy for kids to sit still throughout the process.
We have a fantastic team of professionals who provide plenty of reassurance and a calm and relaxed environment for the child to ensure the process goes on smoothly.

Earwax Removal Appointment Process
What to Expect at Your Ear Wax Removal Consultation?
Step 1
We will start by taking your medical history. The clinician may also ask questions related to your ears to provide a detailed report before the wax removal procedure.
Step 2
After collecting your medical history, we will examine the ears. We use specialist equipment we use to check if you have wax in the ears and how much.
Step 3
From the results of the pre-examination step, we will explain the findings, and if the micro suction procedure is necessary, we will explain it to you in detail before we start.
Step 4
We will begin the microsuction ear wax removal procedure. It should last about 5-10 minutes. If the ear wax is stubborn, the process could take slightly longer. The process is safe, pain-free, and largely comfortable.
Step 5
After the ear wax removal process is complete, we will conduct a post-examination of the ears. We will check the health of your ear canal and eardrums before you leave the clinic.
Step 6
If we cannot remove all the wax in your first appointment, we will offer you a free follow-up appointment within four weeks of your original appointment to complete the removal and examine the ears.
What Happens If Ear Wax is Not Removed?
Not having your ear wax removed could lead to various challenges, including causing a plug that can block the ear, causing any of the following:
- Sudden hearing loss
- Pain in the ear
- Itchiness
- Dizziness
- Tinnitus (a ringing or buzzing sound constantly heard in the ear)
Another little-known fact is that a cough can also be caused by compacted ear wax. This could put pressure on the nerve in the ear, which can result in coughing.
Should you experience any of the above symptoms, we recommend getting your ear checked by a professional who can look into your ears safely. They can help determine the problem and remove the wax using a microsuction ear wax removal procedure.
