How It Works
Microsuction ear cleaning uses a microscope and a medical suction device to gently remove ear wax, debris and foreign body from your ear canal. This method does not involve water or positive pressure.
Before the procedure, we assess your overall ear health. We then examine your ear under the microscope and use a low-pressure suction device to safely eliminate any blockage.
Microsuction is widely regarded as the safest and most comfortable method for ear wax removal. Throughout the process, the ear canal is continuously monitored, ensuring a safe procedure. Additionally, this method tends to be more comfortable than traditional water irrigation.

Causes of Blocked Ears
It’s important to note that a blocked ear isn't always caused by earwax. Our team is capable of evaluating and addressing various ear disorders, including:
Otitis media
Otitis externa
Eustachian tube dysfunction
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss
Vertigo and tinnitus
Sinusitis and mastoiditis
If you still experience a sense of blockage after wax removal, further diagnosis and treatment may be necessary, which our Specialist GPs can provide.
