Our professional ear wax removal service uses gentle microsuction — the safest and most effective method for clearing blocked ears. Microsuction is a dry, precise technique that removes wax without water, making it suitable for most patients, including hearing‑aid users and those with a history of ear infections.
During your appointment, a trained clinician will assess your ears, explain the procedure, and carry out microsuction using specialist equipment. Most patients experience immediate relief from blocked ears, reduced hearing, or discomfort.
This service is ideal for: • Blocked or “full” ears • Reduced hearing due to wax • Hearing‑aid users • Recurrent wax build‑up • People who cannot have water irrigation
Same‑day and next‑day appointments are often available. If you have ear pain, discharge, or a suspected infection, please contact us before booking.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is microsuction? Microsuction is a safe, dry method of removing ear wax using a small suction device. It is quick, precise, and does not use water.
2. Is microsuction safe? Yes. It is considered the safest method of ear wax removal when performed by trained clinicians. Most people find it comfortable and effective.
3. How long does the appointment take? A typical appointment lasts 15–20 minutes, including an ear health check and the procedure itself.
4. Does microsuction hurt? It should not be painful. You may hear some noise from the suction device, but the procedure is usually well‑tolerated.
5. Do I need to use olive oil drops before my appointment? Using olive oil or ear‑softening drops for 7 days beforehand can help, but it is not always essential. If your ears are very blocked, softening drops may improve the outcome.
6. Can I have microsuction if I wear hearing aids? Yes. Microsuction is recommended for hearing‑aid users as wax can affect device performance.
