When Should You Consider Ear Microsuction?
Most people don’t think about ear wax until it becomes a problem. While ear wax in itself is completely normal and plays a protective role by trapping dust and debris, if it builds up it can cause discomfort or even pain. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it might be time to book an appointment for ear microsuction with our team:
- Reduced hearing.
- Ear pain or discomfort
- Feeling like your ear is full
- Ringing in your ears (tinnitus)
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, ewe recommend speaking with our microsuction specialist who will be able to assess your ears and advise you on whether ear wax removal is right for you or if you’d benefit from a different treatment.
Signs You Have Too Much Ear Wax And When It Might Be An Infection
It’s easy to confuse symptoms of ear wax build-up with those of an ear infection. There’s often similar symptoms like discomfort in the ear or a feeling of fullness. There are a few symptoms that make it much more likely to be an ear infection though.
These include sharp and sudden pain rather than a dull feeling. A persistent ear ache, feeling unwell, pain around the ear or even yellow or clear fluid draining from your ear are all signs of an ear infection rather than a wax build up.
If you’re experiencing these symptoms we recommend visiting your GP for a consultation or you if the patient with these symptoms is between 1 and 17 years old we can take a look through the Pharmacy First scheme.
How Does Ear Microsuction Help?
Ear microsuction is a straightforward procedure that can make a world of difference if you’re dealing with excess ear wax. Using a small suction device and a microscope, our specialists will carefully removes excess wax from your ear.
Unlike the old-fashioned method of syringing, where water is used to flush out the wax, microsuction doesn’t rely on water. This means there’s no risk of infection from trapped moisture, and the procedure is much quicker. Most appointments take just 15 to 30 minutes, and there’s usually no discomfort involved.
One of the best things about ear microsuction though is that it offers almost immediate results. As soon as the wax is removed, our patients report a marked improvement in their hearing.
