Ear Wax
Microsuction
A team of professional and highly skilled ear specialists, with a focus on the removal of ear wax, ear hygiene and cleanliness.
Why microsuction?
If ear wax builds up it can become impacted, causing many annoying and painful symptoms such as earache, a buzzing or ringing in the ear or the sensation of a ‘blocked ear’. Once the wax is removed, there is often instant relief from the symptoms experienced.
Turners ear wax removal specialists, Harry and Emma use professional ear clearing equipment such as a video otoscope and ENT tools to clear the ear wax. After careful examination, the consistency of the ear wax will determine if the procedure can take place or additional advice required.
More about microsuction ear wax removal
Microsuction is one of the safest methods to clean the ear. Our specialists will view the inside of the ear using a microscope. This magnifies the ear, making it easier to assess and treat. A suction device is used to clean the ear without the use of water.
The gentle suction device works in a similar way to a vacuum cleaner and although it can be quite noisy, it is quick and painless. If the object being removed is hard, then removal can be slightly uncomfortable. Our specialists will always be patient, attentive and advise what to expect.
When Microsuction is being used to remove wax, the procedure tends to be less uncomfortable if a wax softening spray (for example, Earol® olive oil spray which can be purchased over the counter) is used for two nights before, and on the morning of, the appointment.
