Irrigation
The water irrigation method to remove ear wax allows the technician to flush warm water through the ear canal using an ear irrigator.
The irrigation solution is carefully warmed to body temperature.
We use the spray to gently stream water into the ear. The procedure may need to be repeated a couple of times. When the wax has been removed, we use a special mopping apparatus to dry the ear canal.
This method is preferred for sufferers of Tinitus.
Microsuction
Microsuction is the preferred method of wax removal as it does not require water to remove the wax.
A fine tube is connected to a suction machine. Our ear wax technician is able to view your ear canal with the aid of a microscope to allow them to see exactly where the wax build up is. This method is preferential for patients who have suffered problems with their ears previously, such as ear drum perforation.
The technician will first examine your ears to confirm there is earwax present.
Using the information you provide on your pre completed health questionnaire, we will determine which treatment you are more suited to.
How to prepare for your appointment
Before your appointment, you should help to soften the wax by putting ear drops or olive oil into your ears. The oil I recommend is “Earol”.
Simply tilt your head or lie on one side and drip the oil or drops into your ear. Stay there for 5 minutes to help the oil soak into the wax.
Do the same on the other side. Repeat this for at least 3 days before your appointment.
If you visit the clinic and have not ‘oiled’ your ears, the clinician may not be able to remove hard wax deposits, and you may be sent away without your treatment.
