Microsuction Ear Wax Removal
Microsuction is a common and safe procedure performed by our fully qualified trained Audiologists to remove excessive or impacted earwax resulting in a blocked ear. It involves using a specialised instrument called a microsuction probe, which consist of a thin tube attached to a suction device. The earwax removal specialists uses the probe to gently suction out the earwax from the ear canal. Our Audiologist offers professional ear wax removal services and clinic appointments to the home 7 days a week.
How is Microsuction performed?
During the Microsuction procedure, the professional wears a microscope or loupe magnification device to visualize the ear canal and earwax more clearly. The procedure is typically carried out using a low-pressure suction device, which ensures precise and controlled removal of the earwax without causing discomfort or damage to the ear.
