Frequently asked questions 
 

What is Microsuction and How Does it Compare to Ear Syringing?

Microsuction is a contemporary technique used for removing ear wax, known for its safety and effectiveness. Unlike ear syringing, which uses water and may pose risks, microsuction involves gentle suction to extract wax without any discomfort. This method ensures a clear and comfortable experience, particularly for those who may have concerns about traditional methods.

Does Ear Wax Removal Hurt?

No, ear wax removal is typically painless, especially when performed using microsuction. While the procedure may produce a slight noise, it's quick and gentle. Most individuals find it comfortable and prefer it over traditional methods, which may cause discomfort or irritation.

How Long Does an Ear Wax Removal Appointment Take?

An appointment for ear wax removal usually lasts around twenty minutes. During this time, our experienced audiologist carefully examines and clears both ears, ensuring thorough and effective removal of wax build up. This duration allows for a comprehensive assessment and treatment tailored to your specific needs.

What Preparations Do I Need Before My Ear Wax Removal Appointment?

Before your appointment, it's helpful to use olive oil drops in your ears for a few days. This softens the wax and makes it easier to remove during the procedure. However, if you have a history of a perforated eardrum, it's best to avoid this step and inform your audiologist beforehand.

Is Microsuction the Only Method Used for Ear Wax Removal?
