Microsuction Petworth

What is Microsuction?

Microsuction is a modern and clinically safe method of ear wax removal used by audiologists and ear health specialists. Unlike traditional methods that involve flushing the ear with water (irrigation), microsuction uses gentle suction to remove wax directly from the ear canal. This method is known for its precision and minimal invasiveness, making it a preferred choice for many patients and healthcare providers alike.

What Are The Benefits of Microsuction

Microsuction offers several advantages over other ear wax removal techniques, which include:

Safety –  The procedure allows for a clear view of the ear canal and precise removal of wax without touching the sensitive structures of the ear, reducing the risk of infection and ear damage.

Efficiency – Microsuction typically takes only a few minutes per ear and often resolves the problem in a single session. No need for pre-treatment. Unlike irrigation, there is no need to use ear drops for days before the procedure. This makes it ideal for those who need immediate relief.

Comfort – The procedure is generally painless and comfortable, as there is no water pressure or prolonged manipulation involved.

Immediate results – Patients often experience instant relief from symptoms such as hearing loss and discomfort immediately after the procedure.

What To Expect From Your Microsuction Appointment

Initial Assessment

An ear health specialist will examine your ears using an otoscope to assess the amount of wax buildup and determine whether microsuction is suitable for you.

Procedure

If microsuction is recommended, the specialist will use a microscope to view your ear canal in detail while using a small suction device to gently remove the wax. The process is quick and typically takes just a few minutes per ear.

Aftercare Advice

After the procedure, you will receive advice on how to care for your ears post-microsuction and prevent future wax buildup.
