Ear Wax Removal using Ear Microsuction
Ear Microsuction is the safest way to remove debris from the ear canal for two main reasons;
1) Clear Visualisation – The Audiologist can visualise the ear canal and the debris at all times using microscopic vision. This is unlike ear syringing or ear irrigation where the nurse has to switch between visualisation of the canal with a handheld otoscope and then use an irrigation instrument.
2) No Use of Water – Normal water irrigation flushes the canal using water under controlled pressure. Any water hitting the drum during the treatment can cause pain. Ear microsuction removes wax using a gentle vacuum device. The end of the suction tube is visible and controlled at all times and so the risk of trauma or perforation is greatly reduced when using this method.
The Dangers of Untreated Ear Wax
Blocked Ears
The ear canal can become blocked with ear wax, a foreign body (often the end of a cotton bud) or dry skin secondary
to a skin condition. Microsuction will gently remove any of this debris leaving the ear canal clear and comfortable.
Infection
Your GP may have informed you that you have otitis exerna (an infection of the ear canal) and possibly prescribed eardrops as a treatment. Ear microsuction in will remove infective debris enabling the treatment to successfully reach the canal lining enabling more effective recovery
Low Tolerance of Syringing / Irrigation
Over the years many clients have undergone both microsuction and syringing. The vast majority prefer microsuction in Solihull as it is quicker, more effective and thorough. It is a safer and easier to tolerate as there is no risk of water touching the drum.
Ear Wax Removal Pricing
Ear wax removal pricing starts from £40 for 1 ear, £60 for both ears. There is a £25 consultation fee if no ear wax is found to be present.
Using the latest microsuction technique, our highly qualified Audiologists will be able to remove any ear wax and get you back to hearing better. The microsuction service we provide to those living in Solihull and nearby areas is safe, effective and comfortable.
Preparation
We recommend using olive oil ear drops 3-4 times a day, for 5 days prior to your ear wax removal appointment. Olive oil ear drops will soften the ear wax and loosen it away from the ear drum and ear canal walls. This allows ear wax removal to be painless.
Please Note: Please do not use olive oil or any other types of drops in your ears if you have been told you have a perforated ear drum or ear infection.
