Why Choose Microsuction
​Ear microsuction is the latest, safest and most modern way to remove earwax blockages. It involves the use of a gentle suction device, similar to a small vacuum cleaner, which helps to loosen and remove any impacted earwax. The procedure will be carried out by a trained professional. A complete a full ear canal assessment will be carried out to determine if the procedure is necessary. Once your microsuction session is complete, an octoscope will be used to ensure that all impacted ear wax has successfully been removed.
Prices include the initial consultation, and either microsuction, irrigation or manual removal of wax in either one or both ear canals.
What causes earwax? Earwax can be caused by varying different factors. Working in a dusty environment, having narrow ear canals, using cotton buds, hair pins and anything else that may lead to pushing wax deeper in the ear. Wearing head/ earphones & hearing aids also restricts the natural outward migration of earwax.
What are the symptoms of earwax?
Earwax symptoms can vary, if you experience any of the following, then get in touch:
-
Hearing loss
-
Tinnitus (ringing/buzzing)
-
Ear pain Fullness/blocked sensation
-
Dizziness

What to do before I visit you:
Please soften the wax in the 3 days before your appointment
It's important that the wax is soft to make the procedure as comfortable and effective as possible. We recommend using 3 olive oil drops, or a spray such as Earol (which is olive oil), three times per day in the affected ear and repeat for 3 days.
£60 for one or both ears. Both ears will be inspected and cleaned or cleared if necessary.

Who can have this treatment?

This service is ideal for those that are housebound or bedbound. It is also ideal for busy individuals that require out of hours services and would like to skip the NHS waiting list.
Do I need to prepare for my appointment?
Olive oil based ear drops or sprays are recommended morning and evening for threedays before our visit. This will soften the build-up of earwax and make removal easier.
How long does the procedure take?
On average wax removal procedure can take between 5-15 minutes per ear. This is dependent upon the amount of earwax, the positioning of earwax and consistency of the earwax.
Is it painful? & What are the risks?
The procedure should be painless. As with any procedure, ear microsuctioning and gentle irrigation carries a small amount of risk and potential side effects, most of which are very rare, but they are made clear prior to your appointment.
