Microsuction

Safe Ear Wax Removal for Adolescents and Adults

At our clinic, we offer professional wax removal services for adolescents and adults, ensuring a safe and effective process. One of the most advanced methods we provide is microsuction ear wax removal, which is highly regarded for its precision and safety.

This ear wax removal procedure is a quick, ‘dry’ method of ear cleaning that uses illumination provided by a microscope or a set of loupe lenses to thoroughly visualize the ear canal anatomy. Using low-pressure, gentle suction and specialized ENT tools, our audiologists ensures that ear wax is safely and efficiently removed from the ear canal. This specialised ear wax removal procedure is generally regarded as the most preferred method of wax removal for patients attending Midland Hearing Care.

In addition to microsuction wax removal, our clinic also offers traditional methods for ear cleaning. These include water irrigation, also known as syringing, and wax removal by curette, which involves carefully scooping out the wax manually. These methods are effective and can be used depending on the patient's needs and ear condition.

Ear Wax Removal for Children Age 5+

Due to a change in insurance, our clinic only provides water syringing (irrigation) or curette scoop wax removal services for school-aged children age 5 +. These methods are administered with the utmost care by our trained audiologists to ensure a comfortable experience for the child.

No microsuction is provided for children under the age of 16 years.
