MICROSUCTION EAR WAX REMOVAL
How we do it
Ear wax removal techniques have advanced in recent years. Ear Syringing used to be the most common method but it can lead to infections and sometimes increased pressure in the ear canal.
We use the latest in micro-suction technology which gently sucks the wax out of your ear canal. Think of it as a mini-vaccuum for your ears!
Micro-suction is the recommended method by the BSA and acknowledged by hearing specialists as the safest and most painless method of ear wax removal, so it’s the only method we use.

Highly recommended
Greeted by a delightful young lady who asked me a series of relevant question, then carefully explained the process. The procedure took less than 20 minutes and was painless - a lump of wax was removed, with instant hearing improvement.

FAQS
Answers to some frequently asked questions
-
WHAT IS EAR WAX?Ear wax is produced by the ear to clean and protect itself. It’s secreted by glands in the skin that line the outer half of your ear canals. The wax and tiny hairs in these passages trap dust and other foreign particles that could damage deeper structures, such as your eardrum.
-
ISN'T EAR WAX GOOD FOR YOU?You can have too much of a good thing. An Ear canal blocked up with ear wax can cause infections, earaches, deafness, a sensation of fullness in the ear, tinnitus and other problems. It’s important to get your ears checked regularly by a trained and experienced professional to preform an ear health check.
-
HOW DO I LOOK AFTER MY EARS?It’s incredibly dangerous to stick anything inside your ears as it can damage deeper structures. Additionally foreign objects inside the ear will only push the wax further into your ear canals and causing compaction. We always recommend to use natural methods such as Olive oil drops or other drops recommended by a medical professional.

DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING TO PREPARE FOR MY TREATMENT?If you do get a build up of ear wax, visit your GP or local medical practitioner to have it checked out.
