FAQ

1. What is ear wax microsuction?

Microsuction is a safe, gentle, and effective method of removing ear wax using a small suction device under direct visual guidance. It’s considered the gold standard for ear wax removal.

2. What is ear irrigation?

Ear irrigation involves gently flushing the ear canal with warm water to remove softened wax. It’s a safe and effective method when carried out by a trained professional.

3. Which method is better — microsuction or irrigation?

Both are effective. Microsuction is ideal if you have a history of ear infections, perforated eardrums, or ear surgery. Irrigation works well for soft wax and healthy ears.

4. Is the treatment painful?

No, both microsuction and irrigation are generally painless. You may feel a mild tickling or whooshing sound during the process.

5. How long does the appointment take?

Most appointments last 30-60 minutes, including consultation and treatment.

6. Do I need to use ear drops before my appointment?

Yes. It’s recommended to use olive oil or Earol drops for 3–5 days before your appointment to soften the wax, making removal easier.

7. Can I have ear wax removal if I have a perforated eardrum?

Microsuction is suitable, but irrigation should not be performed if you have a perforated eardrum or a history of ear surgery.

8. How often should I have my ears checked?

Most people only need treatment once or twice a year, but it varies depending on wax build-up and personal ear health.

9. What are the signs I might have a wax blockage?

• Reduced hearing

• Fullness or pressure in the ear

• Tinnitus (ringing sound)

• Mild earache

• Dizziness

10. Is it safe for children and older adults?

Yes — both procedures are safe for most age groups when carried out by a trained clinician.

11. What should I do after treatment?

Avoid getting water or inserting anything into your ears for 24 hours. You can use olive oil drops or Earol spray 1 drop/spray in each year every 2 weeks to help prevent build-up.

12. Can I try to remove ear wax at home?

No. Avoid using cotton buds or objects — they can push wax deeper and cause injury or infection
