What to expect from microsuction
Microsuction is a safe way to remove earwax. A clinician looks into your ear with a bright light or microscope and uses a small suction device to lift the wax. You sit comfortably and remain still while we work.
You may hear a loud suction sound. This is normal. The procedure usually takes only a few minutes per ear. Most people feel relief straight away, especially if hearing was muffled by wax.
Microsuction does not use water. This reduces the risk of ear infections for many people compared with syringing. You might feel brief discomfort as wax moves. Mild dizziness can happen and usually settles quickly.
Before your visit, avoid cotton buds. They push wax deeper. If your ears are very hard with wax, softening drops may help for a few days. After your appointment, keep ears dry for 24 hours and avoid inserting objects.

What to look for
When you might need help
If your ears feel full, sounds seem dull, or you have whistling hearing aids, wax may be blocking the canal. Seek help if you notice ear pain, tinnitus, dizziness, or recurring infections. Book sooner if you use hearing aids or swim regularly.
- Muffled hearing or fullness
- Ringing or buzzing
- Water trapped feeling
- Itch without relief
- Feedback from hearing aids
How to care for your ears
Most ears clean themselves. Let wax migrate out naturally. Do not use cotton buds. They can damage the canal and drum. Use olive oil drops if advised. If you are prone to build up, plan routine checks to prevent sudden blockage.
- Avoid inserting objects
- Keep ears dry after swimming
- Use drops only as directed
- Wipe the outer ear gently
- Book early at first signs
