Microsuction Ear Wax Removal

Restore Your Hearing with Microsuction

Microsuction is the safest, most effective method of ear wax removal available today. Unlike traditional syringing, microsuction uses a gentle suction device to remove wax without water — making it cleaner, quieter, and far more comfortable. Our audiologists and aural care clinicians carry out every procedure under magnification, giving them a clear view of your ear canal at all times. Most patients notice an immediate improvement in their hearing as soon as the blockage is cleared.

Why Choose Microsuction Ear Cleaning

Safe and Gentle

Microsuction is carried out under direct vision using magnification, allowing your audiologist to see exactly what they are doing throughout the procedure.

Immediate Relief

Most patients experience a noticeable improvement in their hearing straight away, often within minutes of the wax being removed.

No Mess or Water

Unlike ear syringing, microsuction is a dry procedure — no water is flushed into your ear, making it more comfortable and significantly reducing the risk of infection.

Specialist Care

Every ear wax removal appointment at Arnold Hearing is carried out by a qualified audiologist or aural care clinician in a dedicated treatment room.

Signs You May Need Ear Wax Removal

Ear wax is natural, but when it builds up it can cause real discomfort and affect your hearing. You may benefit from microsuction if you are experiencing:
  • A blocked or full sensation in one or both ears
  • A noticeable reduction in your hearing clarity
  • Itching, discomfort, or a feeling of pressure in your ear
  • Ringing or buzzing sounds (tinnitus) that were not there before
Your Appointment

What to Expect When You Visit

Ear Health Check

Your audiologist examines your ear canals using a video otoscope, checking the location and consistency of the wax build-up before starting treatment.

Gentle Microsuction

Using a low-pressure suction device under magnification, your audiologist carefully removes the wax without water, keeping you comfortable throughout.

Clear Results

Once the wax is cleared, we check your ear canals again to confirm they are clean and discuss any follow-up care or hearing concerns you may have.

Ear Wax Removal FAQs

Common Questions About Ear Wax Removal

Is microsuction ear wax removal painful?
No. Most patients find microsuction very comfortable. You may hear a gentle suction sound during the procedure, but it is not painful. Our audiologists work carefully and will stop at any point if you feel uncomfortable.
Do I need to use olive oil drops before my appointment?
We recommend using olive oil drops for two to three days before your appointment to soften the wax, which can make the procedure quicker and more comfortable. However, we can still treat hard wax if drops have not been used.
How often should I have ear wax removed?
This varies from person to person. Some people produce very little wax, while others need regular removal every six to twelve months. Your audiologist will advise you based on your individual needs.
Is microsuction better than ear syringing?
Yes. Microsuction is widely considered the gold standard for ear wax removal. It is safer than syringing because your audiologist can see the ear canal throughout the procedure, and it does not use water, reducing the risk of infection or damage.
