Expert Ear Wax Removal via Microsuction in Knowle
Blocked ears, muffled hearing or a feeling of fullness often means one thing: built-up ear wax. Our clinic offers safe, effective ear wax removal using microsuction, the gold-standard method. Unlike traditional irrigation or syringing, microsuction uses a gentle vacuum under direct microscopic visualisation; meaning better results and less risk.
You’ll find that our Knowle service we:
Use microscopic visualisation so the audiologist can clearly see the ear canal and wax.
Avoid water-pressure methods, which can be uncomfortable or risky if the eardrum is sensitive.
Provide rapid relief from blockage so you can hear clearly again.
Many patients put up with muffled hearing, tinnitus (ringing) or discomfort for months before realising the root cause is wax build-up. Clearing the wax often brings an immediate improvement.
When you come to us for ear wax removal, we’ll always carry out a full ear examination. If we don’t find any wax, we’ll advise what to do next.
The Dangers of Untreated Ear Wax
Blocked Ears
