Microsuction earwax removal
at Dove Hearing Centres

Ear wax, or cerumen (its medical name), serves to protect the ear by trapping dust and debris, earwax has antibacterial properties, and provides lubrication. This self-cleaning mechanism naturally expels dirt and dead skin cells from the ear, helping to maintain ear health but sometimes our ears create too much wax, and this is when you will need to see one of our experts to get it removed.

What is Microsuction Earwax Removal?

Microsuction is used to remove earwax (cerumen) from the ear canal, it is considered the quickest and safest method for earwax removal.

This method ensures constant visibility of the ear canal, using surgical loupes or a hospital grade microscope, allowing for complete and comfortable removal of ear wax with minimal risk of complications.

Why Choose Microsuction Over Other Methods?

Compared to traditional methods like syringing or ear irrigation, which are not suitable for everyone (especially those with specific ear-related conditions or a history of ear surgery), microsuction offers several advantages:

Effectiveness: Often, only one visit is needed.

Safety: The ear canal is always visible, reducing the risk of complications.

Cleanliness: No water is used, making it less messy.

Suitability: Microsuction is generally safe for people with perforated eardrums or scarring from previous surgeries.

FAQ’s

Yes, excessive earwax can significantly impact your hearing. When earwax builds up and blocks the ear canal, it can cause:

  • A sensation of fullness in the ear
  • Muffled or reduced hearing
  • Temporary hearing loss

In some cases, earwax build-up may also lead to discomfort or tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Fortunately, professional earwax removal can quickly restore clear hearing and alleviate these symptoms. If you suspect earwax is affecting your hearing, book an appointment with our team for safe and effective removal.

Ear drops can be effective in softening earwax and may assist in its natural removal for mild cases. However, if the blockage is persistent, causes discomfort, or affects your hearing, professional removal by a trained clinician is often necessary.

At Dove Hearing Centres, our expert team provides safe and effective earwax removal services, ensuring your ears are clear and healthy without the risk of damage. If ear drops haven’t resolved the issue, we’re here to help.

Microsuction is a highly effective and safe method for removing earwax. It involves the use of a specialised gentle suction device to carefully remove excess wax from the ear canal. Unlike other methods, such as syringing, microsuction does not involve water, making it a cleaner and more precise option.

This procedure is carried out by trained professionals, ensuring a comfortable and efficient experience. Microsuction is suitable for most people and is particularly effective for stubborn or impacted wax. If you’re experiencing blocked ears, our expert team can provide this service to help restore your hearing clarity.

Irrigation is a method of earwax removal that involves gently flushing warm water into the ear canal to help dislodge and remove built-up wax. This procedure is performed by trained professionals to ensure it is safe and effective.

While irrigation is suitable for many people, it is not recommended for individuals with a history of eardrum perforations, ear infections, or other specific ear conditions. If you’re unsure whether irrigation is right for you, our team can provide expert advice and alternative options, such as microsuction, to ensure the safest method for your ear health.
