Do you experience excessive build up of Ear Wax?
Ear wax is a natural substance that protects the ear canal from dirt, bacteria, and other foreign particles. However, when there is an excessive buildup of ear wax, it can cause discomfort, itching, and even hearing loss. This is why ear wax removal is an important part of ear care.
What is Ear Wax Microsuction?
Ear wax microsuction is a safe and effective method of ear wax removal that involves using a suction device to remove the excess wax from the ear canal. It is performed by a trained healthcare professional, such as an audiologist or an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist. During the procedure, the healthcare professional uses a microscope and a suction device to carefully remove the ear wax without causing any damage to the ear canal.
Benefits of Ear Wax Microsuction
1
Safe and Gentle
Ear wax microsuction is a safe and gentle method of ear wax removal. It does not involve any harsh chemicals or high-pressure water, which can cause damage to the delicate skin of the ear canal. The procedure is performed under direct vision, which means that the healthcare professional can see exactly what they are doing, minimizing the risk of injury.
2
Quick and Effective
Ear wax microsuction is a quick and effective method of ear wax removal. The procedure usually takes only a few minutes to complete, and patients usually experience immediate relief from their symptoms. This is because the excess ear wax is removed completely, allowing the ear canal to function properly.
3
Suitable For All Ages
Ear wax microsuction is a suitable method of ear wax removal for all ages. It is particularly beneficial for patients with narrow or blocked ear canals, which can make other methods of ear wax removal, such as ear syringing, difficult or impossible.
4
Minimal Discomfort
Ear wax microsuction is a minimally uncomfortable procedure. Patients may experience a slight sensation of pressure or suction in the ear, but this is usually not painful. The use of olive oil drops prior to the procedure helps to soften the wax and make it more comfortable.
