About earwax removal

A build up of ear wax is a common issue which should always be treated by a qualified hearing expert, and not at home, to prevent damage to the ears. Microsuction is a modern technique in which ear wax can be removed gently with minimal discomfort.

The procedure has revolutionised the way that we can effectively remove a build up of ear wax, and is the preferred method amongst audiologists and ENT specialists. Microsuction delivers better results compared to older, outdated methods of ear wax removal such as syringing.

How microsuction is performed

Earwax removal using microsuction is performed with the aid of an otoscope and a finely calibrated suction device, without the introduction of any materials or liquids.

The otoscope is used to look into the ear, whilst the suction device works to gently suck the wax from the ear canal.

There is no downtime after the procedure, and once the ear wax has been removed, your hearing quality will be back to normal.

Preparing for your appointment

Although a severe build up of ear wax should only be addressed by a qualified audiologist or ENT specialist, there are some steps that can be taken at home to safely clean your ears of unwanted wax.

Applying olive oil based ear drops will soften and break down the ear wax over time. These should be applied using a spray bottle to spread the drops deep and evenly in the ear canal whilst lying down.

The softened ear wax will eventually make its way from the ear canal to the ear opening, where it will usually dry up and fall out. This is usually encouraged by the movement of chewing and moving your jaw.

This is the safest way to clean your ears at home, but should not be done if your ears are badly blocked and you can't hear anything. In this instance, you should book in for ear wax removal with a professional.
