Ear Clear UK uses Microsuction ear wax removal technique. Using a precision, low pressure suction apparatus we gently and safely vacuum un-wanted or obstructing skin cells and wax from the external auditory meatus (ear canal). This technique avoids touching the sensitive area around the ear canal and evades contact with the eardrum.
Microsuction uses gentle medical suction accurately applied to the ear wax. The practitioner is able to look into the ear throughout the process to see what is happening and remove the ear wax with pinpoint accuracy. Because microsuction uses suction to draw the wax from the ear, it cannot puch wax further in and the success rate is therefore far greater than that of syringing or irrigation. Ear wax removal by microsuction is also considerably safer than syringing or irrigation.
Microsuction Ear Wax Removal
Compared to traditional forms of wax removal microsuction is:
-
Safer
-
Quicker
-
Cleaner and neater
-
Generally better tolerated, with less side effects
-
More effective and likely to need only one appointment
-
Doesn’t need weeks of waiting for drops to soften the wax
-
Microsuction may still be possible for people who struggle to use oil prior to treatment
Does microsuction hurt?
In nearly all cases, ear wax removal by microsuction does not hurt at all. It can be noisy, but not a lot more than a hand dryer or vacuum cleaner.
A recent ear infection or the use of some ear drops can make the skin of the ear canal more sensitive, and as a consequence, the procedure may be a little uncomfortable in these limited cases. Microsuction is considered to be the safest method of ear wax removal.
How successful is microsuction?
In the majority of cases, ear wax removal by microsuction will remove 100% of the ear wax. In some cases, only 90-95% of a blockage may be removed, but this would still be enough to fully or mostly restore hearing. In very few cases, hearing may not be restored or wax may remain due to it being hard on the edges or deep inside on the ear drum where it can not safely be removed. In such cases, continued use of olive oil ear drops for another 5-7 days should loosen the last piece and it usually comes out on its own.
