All You Need to Know About Microsuction Ear Wax Removal

Microsuction ear wax removal can safely and effectively remove too much ear wax from your ear canal. Ear microsuction NHS is a popular procedure performed by trained professionals, typically audiologists or ear care specialists.

How Ear Wax Microsuction Works

During ear microsuction, your specialist will use a small handheld device called a microscope suction probe. He will also use a microscope or a loupe magnifier to have a clear view of your ear canal, thus enabling precise and controlled ear wax removal.

Here's an overview of the microsuction ear wax removal procedure:

❖     Preparation. After taking notes of your symptoms, your specialist will examine your ear with an otoscope or similar instrument to assess your ear wax condition.

❖     Microsuction. While seated comfortably, your specialist will insert a sterile suction probe into your ear. This probe connects to a suction device to remove the ear wax safely. Your specialist will navigate carefully to avoid any discomfort or injury and will explain the procedure to you every step of the way.

❖     Visualization. Your specialist will use a microscope or magnifier to monitor the process and ensure effective wax removal. He may also show you the real-time visuals on a screen if available.

❖     Ear wax microsuction and collection. As the microsuction device is activated, it creates a gentle suction, which draws the ear wax into a collection container or onto a gauze pad. This method allows precise control and minimizes the risk of pushing the wax deeper into the ear canal.

❖     Repeat if necessary. Depending on the amount and condition of your ear wax, your specialist may repeat the microsuction process for each affected ear until he removes all the wax.

❖     Aftercare and advice. Once the procedure is complete, your specialist will provide aftercare advice, such as avoiding water in the ears for a certain period, using ear drops if necessary, or coming back for follow-up.
