Safe, Painless & Very Comfortable

What is Microsuction Ear Wax Removal & Is it Safe?

Excess earwax build-up can lead to uncomfortable and sometimes painful sensations in your ear. Removing the ear wax can make matters even worse if you don't have the right tools and training to safely remove the ear wax.

With microsuction ear wax removal, we can use a microscope and gentle suction tube that allows us to see what is happening in the ear and reduces the risk of accidental trauma to the canal or ear drum.

Using gentle suction, we can remove the ear wax without causing any pain or discomfort, making microsuction ear wax removal in Welwyn Garden City an ideal process for individuals of all ages.

Microsuction ear wax removal is safer than syringing because water from the syringe can lead to ear infections. Also, the high volume of water in the ear could cause the eardrum to perforate.

The process only takes a couple of minutes to perform and is suitable even for young children who aren’t keen on sitting for extended periods.

Although the procedure is quick, it is also painless and effective. It is the safest method of removing wax, with the lowest risk of damaging the ear canal and eardrum.

Earwax Removal Appointment Process

What to Expect at Your Ear Wax Removal Consultation?

Step 1

Upon arriving at the clinic, our clinician will take your medical history. The process may involve asking questions related to your ears, such as whether you’ve had ear infections in the recent past.

Step 2

The audiologist will do a pre-examination of your ears using specialist equipment to determine if you have any wax in the ears.

Step 3

If we find ear wax and microsuction ear wax removal is necessary, we will explain the procedure to you in detail and ensure you remain calm during the process.

Step 4

The ear wax removal process lasts between 5-10 minutes. It may take slightly longer if the ear wax is stubborn. The microsuction ear wax removal process is pain-free and the safest way to remove ear wax with minimal discomfort.

Step 5

Once we successfully remove the wax, we will examine the ears again to check the health of your eardrums and confirm that the wax has been removed.

Step 6

If we cannot entirely remove the ear wax in one appointment, we will rebook you for a free follow-up appointment within four weeks of the original appointment to complete the procedure.

Protect Your Hearing

What Happens If Ear Wax is Not Removed?

Having excessive ear wax can pose various challenges for your hearing senses. It may cause a plug that can block the ear and result in the following symptoms:

  • Sudden hearing loss
  • Pain in the ear
  • Itchiness
  • Dizziness
  • Tinnitus (a ringing or buzzing sound constantly heard in the ear)

Although it’s an unknown fact to many, a cough can also be a symptom of a compacted ear canal, with pressure on the nerve in the ear caused by earwax, which can result in coughing.

If you experience any of the above symptoms, you should book an appointment with an audiologist to have your ears checked to identify potential problems and remove any ear wax that could be causing the problems.

Never having had an ear wax removal procedure before this morning, I was a little apprehensive, but I lucked out for sure choosing this place. The professional giving treatment was friendly, informative, reassuring and highly skilled. The wax removal took just a few minutes and the results were fantastic.
Opinion about London Hearing Specialist from Andy Stewart

Wholeheartedly recommend. I booked a next day appointment with Asif at the Marylebone clinic (it uses space within a pharmacy) to get both ears cleaned after losing hearing in one of them. The process was quick, pain free, but most importantly, effective. I could hear straight away. I left things slightly late (3 weeks after losing hearing) so the ear was a bit red and tender- if you have hearing loss and no throbbing pain, it’s most likely a blocked ear and not an infection, in any case, get it checked out right away and don’t wait like I did! All is good now and a big thank you for getting my hearing back!

FAQ’s

Ear Wax Removal Hertford FAQ's

  • Why does wax build up?
    Wax build-up is a natural phenomenon. The ear naturally produces wax to trap dust and old skin and keep them from getting into the inner structures of the ear. When the wax is not regularly removed, it builds up. The build-up is also caused by the coagulation of dust, dirt and old skin.
  • If my ears are blocked, what symptoms will I experience?
    The symptoms of blocked ears as a result of wax can vary. The most common ones include feeling pain, hearing loss, dizziness, discomfort or ringing in your ears. Such symptoms often point to severely blocked ears. If you experience such symptoms, we recommend having the ears checked so we can advise whether an ear wax removal will clear the problem or whether further investigation is necessary.
  • How do I know if ear wax is causing the problem?
    The only way to be certain ear wax is causing the problem is through an examination. If there's an ear wax build-up, we are able to remove the wax during the same appointment through microsuction ear wax removal. If there's no wax, we will charge you for the consultation. We can also offer additional tests to determine the cause of the problem, such as a hearing test and tympanometry.
  • Should I use olive oil drops before the appointment?
    Yes, you can use olive oil a few days before your appointment to soften the ear wax. However, it is not necessary. We can still remove the ear wax in most cases within the first appointment without using the olive oil drops.
  • How long does the appointment take?
    A microsuction ear wax removal procedure takes about 10 minutes to complete. But in cases where the wax is stubborn, we may need some more time.
