If you’ve ever experienced a blocked ear, muffled hearing, or that frustrating sensation of fullness, chances are ear wax might be the culprit. At Ear Corner in Ashford, Surrey, we specialise in one of the safest and most effective methods for ear wax removal — microsuction.
But what exactly is microsuction, and why do we recommend it over other techniques? Let’s break it down.
What Is Microsuction?
Microsuction is a gentle, precise, and clinically-proven method of ear wax removal. Using a small medical suction device and a fine tube, we safely remove wax from the ear canal under direct vision using a microscope or magnifying loupes.
Unlike syringing, which uses water, microsuction is completely dry, making it ideal for people with sensitive ears, ear infections, or those who wear hearing aids.
How Does It Work?
Here’s what you can expect during your visit to Ear Corner:
-
Assessment – We begin with a detailed ear examination using an otoscope to check wax build-up and ensure microsuction is suitable for you.
-
Optional Softening Drops – In some cases, especially with very hard wax, we may recommend using olive oil drops a couple of days before your appointment.
-
Microsuction Procedure – A small suction tube is carefully inserted into the ear canal. Using specialist equipment, we gently remove the wax while watching the process in real-time.
-
Final Check – Once the wax is cleared, we check your ears again to ensure everything looks healthy and clear.
Why We Recommend Microsuction
-
Safe – We perform the procedure while clearly viewing the ear canal, reducing the risk of injury.
-
Precise – We can remove wax from even deep or awkward areas without pushing it further in.
-
Dry & Hygienic – No water means a lower risk of infection.
-
Comfortable – Most patients find it quick and pain-free, with instant results.
