Ear Wax Removal
What Is Microsuction?
MICROSUCTION IS THE PROCESS OF REMOVING WAX FROM YOUR EARS BY USING A SMALL SUCTION TUBE AND PROBE TO GENTLY REMOVE ANY EXCESS WAX IN THE EAR.
MICRO SUCTION IS A PROCEDURE THAT USES A SMALL SUCTION DEVICE AND MICROSCOPE TO REMOVE:
IT’S CONSIDERED ONE OF THE SAFEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO CLEAN THE EAR. MICRO SUCTION IS SAFER THAN EAR IRRIGATION (SYRINGING) BECAUSE IT AVOIDS CONTACT WITH THE INTERNAL EAR STRUCTURESAND HAS A LOWER RISK OF INFECTION AND PERFORATION OF THE EAR DRUM.
AVAILABLE AT BOTH OUR WARRINGTON AND CHESTER CLINICS.
What To Do Before You Come In
TO ENSURE A COMFORTABLE AND EFFECTIVE PROCEDURE, USE MEDICATED OLIVE OIL DROPS DAILY IN THE AFFECTED EAR FOR FIVE DAYS BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT.
Can Microsuction Damage Your Ears?
WHEN MICROSUCTION IS PERFORMED BY A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL, IT IS ONE OF THE SAFEST WAYS TO REMOVE WAX FROM YOUR EARS. YOUR APPOINTMENT WILL TYPICALLY LAST 45 MINUTES TO ENSURE WE HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GO THROUGH OUR QUESTIONNAIRE AND TO PERFORM THE PROCEDURE
THE PROCESS IS GENERALLY PAINLESS, BUT IT CAN BE NOISY AND, AT TIMES, A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE. IF AT ANY POINT YOU FEEL DISCOMFORT OR PAIN DURING THE APPOINTMENT, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU LET YOUR ADAM KNOW. DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF WAX IN YOUR EARS, YOU MIGHT FIND THAT THINGS SOUND A LITTLE DIFFERENT ONCE THE WAX HAS BEEN REMOVED. YOU MIGHT ALSO NOTICE A SMALL AMOUNT OF RINGING OR BUZZING IN YOUR EARS, BUT THIS SHOULD SETTLE DOWN AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS.
ADAM WILL OUTLINE ALL THE POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS TO THE PROCEDURE DURING YOUR
APPOINTMENT.
