Ear Microsuction Upminster.

Click Hearing Offer Ear Microsuction in Upminster as a method of ear wax removal. Ear wax is removed using gentle suction and a high power microscope to view the ear canal and drum. Many Ear Nose and Throat Doctors prefer this method.

Other methods of ear wax removal, such as irrigation (syringing), are also effective but may not be suitable if you have had previous ear surgery or problems in your ear canal. If you are unsure check out our FAQ section on our Ear Wax Removal page here or contact us for advice.

Before booking on behalf of a child under the age of 7 please call us first to ensure you are clear on what the procedure entails.

Microsuction is £75 for one or both ears and include an initial inspection and assessment of the ears before the ear wax removal procedure takes place.

If no wax is discovered a consultancy fee of £30 is applied.

Instant Results

Unlike using ear drops to soften the ear wax to dislodge a build up, microsuction offers instant results and you will notice the difference directly after the procedure has completed.

Microsuction leaves no mess

Microsuction leaves no mess compared to traditional ear irrigation. Microsuction doesn’t use water or any other liquid, instead it uses suction to remove the ear wax.

Safe for perforated ear-drums

As there are no liquids involved this means that the procedure is far safer for those who have perforated eardrums or any pre-existing conditions. Speak with your audiologist first if you are unsure.

No preparation required

Microsuction is incredibly effective at removing both soft and hard ear wax and does not require any pre-appointment preparations, but using oil for a day or two beforehand can help. Simply arrive at your appointment and have a short examination before going ahead.

Microsuction is normally a ‘same day’ treatment. The ear wax and the ear canal remain in clear vision for the practitioner during the procedure. This improves efficiency of the clearance and reduces risk. Most ear cleaning by microsuction is 100% successful on the first time, with minimal or no oil installation required in advance, although using oil for a day or two beforehand can help.

You will have a digital video health check of the ear canal before and after treatment. You can also receive a hearing test to ensure that the hearing is normal after removal of the ear wax.

Removal of ear wax by microsuction is usually comfortable, but the vacuum can be noisy. If the wax is very hard or stuck to the eardrum, there can occasionally be some discomfort. Should you find the procedure uncomfortable, please let your practitioner know. When this is the case we may advise for you to use some drops or oil to soften the ear wax and return for another visit.
