• Ear Wax Removal

    Earwax removal can be achieved through self-care methods for mild build-up or professional treatments like ear irrigation or microsuction for more significant blockages. If self-care isn't effective or if you have significant earwax build-up, professional removal options are available, usually involving ear irrigation (flushing with water) or microsuction (using a vacuum to remove the wax).

    Earwax Removal Options

    • Ear Irrigation (Syringing): Water at body temperature is gently flushed into the ear canal to remove wax, often considered safer and more effective than older syringing methods.
    • Microsuction: A small vacuum device, often used with a microscope for better visualisation, gently suctions the wax out of the ear canal. This is often the preferred method due to its safety and effectiveness.
    • Manual Removal: For wax built up near the ear entrance, a professional may use specialized tools to carefully remove it.
