Wondering what microsuction involves?
This is the basic anatomy of the ear. As you can see, ear wax builds up in the outer ear, along the ear canal; a tiny probe is placed into the outer ear making contact with the wax, the probe is like a mini vacuum which attaches to the wax to free the wax from the ear.
This is not a painful procedure providing there is no other abnormalities such as infection and if any abnormalities are found then we are able to provide advice and a referral letter for you to send to your GP.
It is usually a quick procedure, taking anywhere from 20 minutes for both ears however, this can take longer depending on the severity of the build up of wax and in a small number of cases, may require a second visit (free of additional charge)
