What will happen at my ear wax removal appointment?
When you arrive to your appointment, first of all we will examine your ears. This involves a tiny endoscope (camera) inserted slightly into your ear. A full clinical examination of the ear will then be carried out and we will determine if there is any wax present or any visible contra indications.
Our qualified specialists will assess your ears and advise on the most appropriate method. Whether you're dealing with blocked ears, discomfort, or reduced hearing, we’re here to help. Both treatments are safe, effective, and performed using medical-grade equipment in a clean, professional environment.
Irrigation
This involves a pressurised jet of warm water sprayed into the ear canal to help push out any wax, dirt, and dead skin. This method is commonly used and can feel very therapeutic, leaving your ears feeling squeaky clean and refreshed. It’s a safe option for people without a history of ear infections or perforated eardrums, and many patients find it quick, effective, and surprisingly relaxing.
Microsuction
A gentle, sterile suction tube is inserted into the ear to safely extract any wax and debris without the use of water. This is widely regarded as the gold standard method for ear wax removal due to its precision, safety, and comfort. Microsuction is ideal for sensitive ears, narrow ear canals, or patients with a history of ear conditions. The procedure is fast, mess-free, and provides immediate relief from blockages.
