HOW DO WE REMOVE EARWAX?

Microsuction Ear Wax Removal

Microsuction is the safest and quickest method of removing the wax from your ears, as recommended by the British Society of Audiology.

Microsuction Ear wax removal involves a very small vaccumn that is inserted within your ear canal to gradually remove the ear wax. Due to the anatomy of the ear, the vaccumn pressure is very low so that it is safe and comfortable for our patients.

Otoscope Examination

Ear wax can cause symptoms of tinnitus or hearing loss in your ears. Prior to your treatment our practitioners will use an otoscope to identify if earwax is causing any of these problems.

An otoscope is a tool that shines a beam of light to help visualise and examine the condition of the ear canal and eardrum.

Our practioners have a wealth of experience that can advise you on your symptoms and rehabilitation methods.

YOUR HEARING

You may benefit from ear wax removal if you have...

Earache

Earache is a common cause of compacted earwax as it puts pressure on the eardrum and ear canals.

Tinnitus

Commonly a phantom noise presenting as a ringing / buzzing or humming sound in one or both ears.

Vertigo

This can be a spinning / dizzy sensation that can affect your balance.

Blocked Ears

Sensation of fullness in the ear is a common cause of compacted ear wax as it causes a change of pressure in your ear and surrounding anatomy.

BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
