The Ear Wax Removal Procedure
Microsuction is a quick and safe way to remove ear wax. At Interhearing, microsuction is performed by NHS experienced ear car professionals. The microsuction technique uses gentle suction to clean the ear and is much safer and more comfortable than all other forms of ear cleaning, including syringing and irrigation.
With microsuction, there is no need to use ear drops for weeks prior to treatment, just the night before, and the morning of your appointment. A small, thin probe is directed at the ear wax in the ear canal, and then gentle suction is applied to slowly remove the ear blockage.
Why is Ear Wax a Problem?
Ear wax can cause discomfort, dizziness, pain and hearing loss. Removing it alleviates these issues and brings a greater feeling of wellbeing.
Removal of wax is especially important for users of hearing aids as the earpiece often inhibits the natural migration of wax from the ear. This build-up of wax can reduce the effectiveness of hearing aids.

What is Micro-Suction?
When it comes to earwax removal, cotton buds just make things worse, and syringing can cause severe discomfort and other side effects such as infections and vertigo.
If you want to remove wax, the safest and most comfortable way to do it is by microsuction. Unlike ear syringing, with microsuction there’s no need to wait until the ear is totally blocked with wax and you won’t need to use ear drops.
Benefits of Micro-Suction
- Can be used on people where ear syringing is contraindicated (i.e. patients with a history of perforations, infections, ear operations etc.)
- Unlike syringing, ear wax can be removed even if the eardrum is still visible and not fully blocked by wax
- Significantly lower risk of perforation and infection
- Not necessary to use ear drops prior to wax removal
- Commonly used when syringing has not been successful
- No long waiting list
- Speeds up Audiological referrals for patients requiring hearing aids
but usually see our patients within 3 days.

Why do children need ear care?
Your child's ear wax acts as a natural protector against dust and debris, but occasionally, it can build up and cause issues such as hearing discomfort or reduced hearing.
Ears are fascinating organs which have a self cleaning mechanism, however, sometimes they need a little extra help for various reasons.

How do you know if your child’s ears are blocked?
When earwax builds up and blocks your child’s ears, it can cause various symptoms, including:
- Hearing Loss: Is your child ignoring you more than normal, it could be that wax has blocked their ears. One of the most common symptoms is a sudden decrease in hearing.
- Earache or Ear Pain: Your child keeps on telling you their ear feels full or uncomfortable. Sometimes, a blockage of earwax can cause this and may even lead to mild earaches.
- Tinnitus: Your child tells you they keep hearing a buzzing sound, this could be tinnitus. Tinnitus is the perception of ringing, buzzing, or other noises in the ear without an external source.
- Dizziness: In some cases, when earwax completely blocks the ear canal, it can affect your child's balance and lead to a feeling of dizziness or vertigo.
- Itchiness: Earwax impaction might cause your child to have itchy ears, which can be bothersome.
