Micro-suction is the safest and most effective method for removing earwax.  We use manual wax removal methods at the clinic: micro-suction, curettage or a combination of these.

Manual wax removal does not involve the use of liquid, so it has few contraindications and a lower risk of infection or perforated eardrums which can occur with syringing.

The procedure is performed under direct vision, it is comfortable and safe.

On the day of appointment you will be required to:-

1. Complete a health questionnaire
2. Verbal consent is required to perform the service (this consent can be withdrawn at any time)
3. An inspection of the ear will be performed (You may need to go away for further ear wax softening and a new appointment will be scheduled);
4. Selection of the most appropriate procedure will be assessed.
5. Summary of the findings.
6. Advice, education, and management of wax build-up.
