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.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

South Ealing Pharmacy

  • Is microsuction safe for most people?

    Yes. It is a controlled procedure performed under direct vision. You may feel brief discomfort or dizziness which usually passes quickly.

  • Does it hurt?

    Most people feel only mild pressure or brief discomfort. Tell us if anything feels painful so we can pause and adjust.

  • Do I need ear drops first?

    It is strongly advised. Softening with olive oil drops for a few days can help if wax is very hard.

  • How long does the appointment take?

    Usually 15 to 30 minutes for assessment and treatment. The suction part often takes only a few minutes per ear.

  • Can I have microsuction with a perforated eardrum?

    You should be assessed first. Microsuction can be considered, but we will check your ear health and proceed only if appropriate.

  • How soon will my hearing improve?

    Often straight away if wax was causing the blockage. If you have another ear condition, improvement may be gradual and we will guide you.
