What is Microsuction Ear Wax Removal?

Microsuction is a procedure that uses a gentle suction to remove wax from the ear. Using specialist equipment, our highly trained clinicians can see directly into the ear canal and use a sterile suction tip to gently remove the wax. Microsuction is one of the safest and most comfortable methods to remove ear wax. It is a procedure that uses gentle suction to remove excessive wax from the ears. Microsuction is the newest gold standard method for wax removal where no water is used in the procedure reducing the risk of infections and damage to the eardrum.

Prices

Microsuction Ear Wax Removal £80 for both ear or £70 for one ear. 

If no wax found, there will be a £35 charge for the consultation

What to expect in your earwax removal appointment?

  • Your clinician will ask you some medical questions to gain an understanding of your ear health and then will explain the earwax removal procedure to you & ask you to sign a consent form before removing the earwax.
  • The earwax removal procedure itself may take up to 5-10 minutes per ear. I will routinely check with you that you are comfortable during the earwax removal procedure. 
  • They will use a video device to allow you to see inside your ear for yourself, so you’ll be able to see a clear “before” and “after” any ear wax has been removed.

How do I know if I need Ear wax removal?​ 

You may need ear wax removal if you’ve been experiencing any of these symptoms, you may have a build up of earwax and need a trained audiologist to perform earwax removal.

  • Lower or muffled hearing
  • A feeling of ‘fullness’ in the ears
  • Itchiness
  • Pain or earache
  • Tinnitus (noises being heard without external source e.g. ringing or buzzing)

Please note : If you have an ear infection, ear wax removal won’t be a suitable treatment for you, but some of the symptoms could be the same. Make sure you see your GP first if you’re also experiencing: 

  • High temperature
  • Discharge from the ear
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Scaly skin in and around the ear
  • Low energy or fatigue
