Ear Wax Removal
Ear Wax Removal Using Micro-suction
The Gold Standard Method Of Ear Wax Removal
Micro-suction is a technique used by trained healthcare professionals to remove ear wax using a specialised device called a micro-suction probe. Unlike traditional ear syringing or irrigation methods that use water to flush out wax, micro-suction involves using gentle suction to extract the wax directly from the ear canal. This method is particularly suitable for individuals with narrow or sensitive ear canals, as it minimises the risk of discomfort or injury.
The Procedure
1. Assessment - Before the procedure begins, the healthcare professional will conduct a thorough assessment of your ears using an otoscope. This allows them to evaluate the extent of wax buildup and identify any potential complications, such as infections or perforations of the eardrum.
2. Preparation - To ensure optimal visibility and access to the ear canal, the healthcare professional may use a specialized microscope or loupe. They may also apply a gentle ear drop solution to soften the wax, making it easier to remove.
3. Micro-Suction - Using a handheld micro-suction device, the healthcare professional will carefully insert a small probe into the ear canal. The device creates a controlled suction that gently draws the wax out of the ear canal without causing discomfort. The entire procedure is performed under direct visualisation, allowing the healthcare professional to monitor the process and ensure thorough removal of the wax.
4. Evaluation - Once the wax has been removed, the healthcare professional will examine the ear canal again to ensure that no residue remains. They may also perform a hearing test to assess any improvements in hearing that may have resulted from the removal of the wax.
5. Aftercare - After the procedure, you may be advised to avoid inserting anything into your ears and to refrain from swimming or showering for a short period to prevent water from entering the ear canal. Your healthcare professional may also recommend follow-up appointments or provide instructions for at-home ear care to prevent future wax buildup.
