The procedure

Both ears are examined with an otoscope prior to treatment, however it’s not uncommon for just one ear canal to be blocked with wax.

Using a binocular operating microscope and a bright light to enable a clear view of the ear canal, a fine, sterile suction device is used to remove the excess wax.

Microsuction is a safe and painless technique requiring an expert
qualification in clinical ear care to carry out the procedure.
