Microsuction Earwax Removal
Welcome to our Microsuction Earwax Removal service, where we offer a gentle, precise, and effective solution to stubborn earwax build-up. Experience relief from discomfort, tinnitus, and hearing loss caused by excessive earwax accumulation with our expert care.
Why Do I Have So Much Earwax?
Earwax, or cerumen, is a natural substance produced by the glands in the ear canal. While it plays a crucial role in protecting the ear canal by trapping dust and debris, excessive build-up can lead to various issues, including:
Tinnitus: Accumulated earwax can obstruct the ear canal, leading to a sensation of ringing or buzzing in the ears, known as tinnitus.
Hearing Loss: Blocked ear canals can interfere with sound transmission, resulting in decreased hearing clarity and sensitivity.
Why shold I Choose Microsuction?
Precision: Microsuction allows for precise removal of earwax, addressing the root cause of tinnitus and hearing loss.
Comfort: Unlike traditional methods, such as ear syringing, microsuction is gentle and well-tolerated, minimising discomfort and dizziness.
Safety: Microsuction eliminates the risk of water entering the ear canal, reducing the chance of infection or irritation.
Immediate Relief: Experience immediate relief from tinnitus and improved hearing clarity following a microsuction procedure.
How It Works
Insertion of Disposable Speculum: A disposable speculum, resembling a funnel, is gently inserted into the ear canal.
Examination under Microscope: Using a microscope, the doctor carefully examines the ear canal and the tympanic membrane (ear drum) to assess the condition.
Visual Display via Camera: For enhanced visualisation, a camera may display the doctor's view on a computer screen, allowing for precise examination and treatment planning.
Microsuction and Removal: A suction tube is introduced into the ear canal to remove any accumulated earwax and debris.
This procedure is performed under the microscope to ensure accuracy and safety. Additionally, ear drops, probes, and forceps may be used as needed to facilitate the removal process.
