What is Earwax?
Earwax is a natural and crucial substance produced within our ear canals. It’s a universal occurrence, essential for the health and protection of our ears.
Composed of a complex blend of dead skin cells, hair, and secretions from the ear canal’s ceruminous and sebaceous glands, earwax is produced collaboratively by these glands to create a waxy, oily substance.
Though it may appear bothersome, earwax fulfills several critical functions, primarily serving as a protective barrier for the ear canal’s sensitive skin.
Why Choose Microsuction for Earwax Removal?
Microsuction is the recommended technique for removing earwax due to its safety, non-invasive nature, and typically pain-free experience. Unlike traditional syringing, which includes the use of water to flush the ear canal, microsuction delicately suctions out excessive wax using a fine medical vacuum device. Here are a few advantages of microsuction:
- Precision: Using a high-definition microscope, our clinicians can clearly visualise the ear canal, ensuring accuracy and effectiveness.
- Comfort and Safety: Microsuction minimises the risk of pushing earwax further in, making it suitable for those with sensitive ears or previous ear issues.
- No Water Involved: Unlike syringing, there’s no need for water flushing, making microsuction a cleaner and more comfortable option.
Working with Children from Age 8 and Up
We have a clinic that is specifically designed for working with children starting at 8 years old. Our goal is to create a peaceful and nurturing atmosphere for our young patients, where we prioritise clear communication to ensure a comforting experience for both children and their parents.
What to do before your appointment
To guarantee a pleasant and efficient earwax extraction process, adhere to the following instructions in the days leading up to your appointment:
To ease the removal process during your appointment, we advise using medicated olive oil drops in the affected ear once daily for five days. This will help to soften the earwax and facilitate its easier removal.
If you encounter certain conditions such as a parched or irritated throat, inadequate control over your head and neck, diabetes, or if you are currently on blood-thinning medication, please do not hesitate to reach out to us for necessary precautions.
If you are experiencing ear pain, ear infections, have a history of ear surgeries, or have any other concerns, it is advisable to consult your GP before attempting to remove earwax.
