Ear Wax Removal Options

Water irrigation >> – this is where we use body-temperature water to gently syringe the wax from your ears. This procedure has traditionally been done at the GP practices – although they are not currently offering wax removal services at all. You should not have water syringing if you have perforated eardrums or if you currently have an ear infection.
Microsuction >> – this is a much more modern method of wax removal, where we use a narrow suction pipe to gently suck the wax out of the ear canal. Our specialist will wear “loops”, which are glasses with a light attached, so that they can clearly see inside your ears to remove the wax.
Endoscopic Microsuction >> – very similar to microsuction, but instead the specialist uses an endoscopic camera attached to an iPod so that we can record and view the process of microsuction on the screen. This makes the removal extremely accurate, and you can watch the procedure back on the camera afterwards if you want to. Both methods of microsuction are generally safer and more comfortable than water syringing – it is a procedure suitable for everyone.
Manual removal >> – Sometimes, where water irrigation and microsuction haven’t succeeded in removing the wax, we can use a Jobson Horne to clear it. This is a small stick with a loop or hook on the end, allowing us to gently pull impacted wax out of the ear. This is usually a last resort, and the specialist will always take great care with this procedure – as with any other.

Once the decision has been made as to the method, then the specialist will set the room up to ensure that the procedure can be carried out in the safest, most secure position possible: typically either sat at a table or working around you in an armchair if necessary. We also cater for people who are bedbound – we take great care in ensuring everything is safe. Please contact us if you require more information!
