Why Ear Microsuction?

Healthcare providers and ear specialists consider ear microsuction to be the safest, gentlest, and most effective method of earwax removal. Since the treating practitioner is using a scope to look into your ear during the procedure, this allows them to be very precise and remove all of the ear wax in your ear canal without causing pain. 

How Do I Prepare for The Procedure?

Hardened wax can be a bit uncomfortable to remove, and in difficult cases, it may take more than one session. So, it’s best to use ear oil for at least 3-5 day before the appointment to soften ear wax.

How Long Does the Ear Microsuction Procedure Take?

The microsuction process is very straightforward. The earwax is removed using a small microsuction tube to suction out the impacted earwax gently and painlessly. This process takes around 5 to 20 minutes depending on the position and amount of wax in the ear canal. In most cases, ear wax can be cleared in just one treatment.
