What is Microsuction Ear Wax Removal & Is it Safe?
At SF Aesthetics Daventry we use Microsuction. This is a procedure that uses a gentle suction to remove wax from the ear. Using specialist equipment, our highly trained practitioner can see directly into the ear canal and use a sterile suction tip to gently remove the wax.
Microsuction is one of the safest and most comfortable methods to remove ear wax. It is a procedure that uses gentle suction to remove excessive or stubborn wax from the ears. Microsuction is the newest gold standard method for wax removal where no water is used in the procedure reducing the risk of infections and damage to the eardrum.
Microsuction allows the practitioner to clearly see the ear canal during the full procedure which creates a much faster than previous methods of wax removal.
When to Seek Professional Ear Wax Removal Help
Like other parts of your body, it’s important to have your ears regularly examined. During one of those examinations, we may detect ear wax buildup and advise on the best way to proceed based on the amount of wax discovered.
While many cases of ear wax buildup can be effectively managed at home, some instances require professional intervention. If you experience any of the symptoms below, you should visit our clinic or call our emergency number immediately:
- Persistent symptoms such as ear pain, hearing loss and itching
- Bleeding or discharge from the ear
- You have had previous ear surgery or experienced ear problems
- Suspected perforation of the eardrum
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
What Happens If Ear Wax is Not Removed?
If you have excessive ear wax it will eventually cause a plug that can block the ear and may result in the following:
- Sudden hearing loss
- Pain in the ear
- Itchiness
- Dizziness
- Tinnitus (a ringing or buzzing sound constantly heard in the ear)
- A cough – this is actually an unknown symptom to a lot of people but the pressure on the nerve in the ear caused by the earwax can result in coughing.
If you have any of the above issues and you are unsure of the cause it is advised to get your ear checked out by a professional who will be able to take a look into your ears and if needed can safely and effectively remove any problems using a microsuction earwax removal procedure.
We recommend using Olive Oil once a day for at least 5 days leading up to your appointment.
