What is Microsuction Ear Wax removal?

Ear wax is a natural lubricant and antibacterial material produced within the ear canal. Ear wax can help to clean, lubricate, and protect the lining of the ear by trapping dirt and stopping too much water from entering the ear canal.

However, excessive ear wax production could lead to symptoms such as the feeling of blocked ears, loss of hearing, earache or itchiness.

Microsuction ear wax removal is a technique for removing ear wax. The pharmacist wears a specialised magnification loupes to look in the ear canal in great detail and use a very fine sterile suction device at low pressure to remove the wax. This method is safe and highly recommended by The National Institute for Health Care Excellence (NICE).
