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
