Microsuction ear wax removal is a safe and effective method used to remove excess or impacted ear wax from the ear canal. Unlike traditional ear syringing, which uses water to flush out ear wax, microsuction is a dry technique that involves the use of a specialised device known as a microsuction pump and a thin, sterile suction wand.
Here's how the process typically works:
The advantages of microsuction ear wax removal include:
Microsuction is often preferred over ear syringing or irrigation, as it is a more controlled and less invasive method for ear wax removal. It's also suitable for a wider range of patients, including those with ear tubes or other ear conditions. It is essential to have this procedure performed by a trained and qualified professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.
While Microsuction ear wax removal is generally considered a safe and effective procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced professional, there are some, although rare but potential risks and considerations to be aware of:
It's important to choose a qualified and experienced audiologist or ear care specialist such as Maidstone Ear Wax Removal to perform the procedure. We will conduct a thorough assessment of your ear condition and carefully perform the procedure to minimise potential risks. If you experience any unusual or persistent symptoms following the procedure, it's essential to contact us for further evaluation and guidance.
In many cases, it's recommended to soften the earwax before undergoing microsuction ear wax removal, as softened wax is typically easier and safer to remove. Softening the earwax helps to make the removal process more comfortable and reduces the risk of injury or discomfort during the procedure. Here's how you can soften earwax:
Position your head at a 90 degree angle or better, lay on your side as horizontal as you can.
Using medical grade olive oil which can be found at any local pharmacy, insert 3-4 drops/sprays in to the affected ear canal. You can help the procedure by gently pinching the top side of your ear and moving it in a circular motion, this helps to open the canal and encourages the drops to enter deeper in to the canal. let the drops take affect for around 4-5 minutes each side, wiping away any excess.
Do NOT insert cotton wool/tissue etc as this will absorb the drops and stop it from being absorbed in to the wax therefore inhibiting the softeneing of it.
