How We Work

How We Remove Earwax

Microsuction

The safest and cleanest way to remove ear wax from moderately blocked ears is the microsuction method. A probe is gently inserted then connected to a vacuum pump to suction out the excess wax from the ear canal.

Water Irrigation

This is safer, gentler and more effective technology than the old “syringing” method.
With water irrigation, body temperature (37°C) water is used to flush debris out of the ear canal at a low pressure.
It’s ideal for removing larger quantities of ear wax.

Manual Removal

If you only have a small amount of ear wax that’s built up near the entrance of your ear canal, manual removal is the best option. For this, a variety of tools may be used to safely remove wax from the ear canal.

How Our Earwax Removal Service

Works In Birmingham

Specialist Assessment (case history)

Your audiologist listens carefully to what you have to say, checks through relevant medical history and carries out video otoscopy checks, you will be shown your ear canal on screen and the wax present in it.

Microsuction Ear Wax Removal

A zoellner suction probe is used under direct endoscopic view to remove wax from each ear canal. The treatment normally lasts 15-20 minutes by our ear wax removal specialist in a few minutes while you are seated and comfortable.

Aftercare And Prevention Advice

Your ears are checked again and hearing is reviewed with a hearing tympanometry  check to ensure your eardrum is vibrating correctly post procedure.  This is the same test you will receive in most ENT departments to check the integrity of the middle ear. You will then  receive clear guidance on preventing future build up, ear hygiene and when to return for routine checks if required.

Microsuction And Ear Syringing In Birmingham

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.

Microsuction, irrigation, and manual removal are all recognised methods for earwax removal. 

The most appropriate technique is selected based on clinical assessment, ear health, and individual patient factors, in line with current UK clinical guidance.

The audiologist maintains vision with an endoscope or microscope throughout the procedure. This method is suitable for many people including some with a past perforation or surgery, after proper assessment and offers gentle ear wax removal process.

Water-based ear syringing in Birmingham  or manual removal with fine instruments may be used when microsuction is not ideal or when wax is soft and loose. Your audiologist will explain the chosen method, including relevant ear syringing risks, before starting treatment.

Not all blocked ear sensations are due to wax. Some patients have middle ear fluid, Eustachian tube dysfunction or infection instead. Because your appointment is with a qualified audiologist, additional tests can be carried out to check whether your symptoms match earwax build up or indicate another condition. 

Understanding earwax build-up symptoms can help explain when further assessment is required. The results are explained clearly and referral to a GP and/or ENT specialist is arranged,thus ensuring correct diagnosis

Audiologists do not diagnose medical conditions outside their professional scope and will refer to a GP or ENT specialist when further medical investigation is required.

*No earwax removal technique is completely risk-free, and your audiologist will explain relevant considerations before treatment.

What Is Cerumen Build Up?

  1. Cerumen is a natural mix of skin cells and oily secretions that help protect the ear canal and trap debris. Normally this secretion more commonly known as ear wax moves out of the ear canal with jaw movements naturally. 
  2. Cerumen build ups are caused when this natural process is no longer efficient. Understanding the causes of earwax build-up can help explain why symptoms may occur. This can be caused by a number of reasons
    a. Use of hearing aids
    b. Cotton Buds
    c. Headphones
    d. Narrow ear canals
    e. Chronic infections
  3. Professional earwax removal by our specialists may be recommended in cases where natural clearance is ineffective or symptoms are present as opposed to DIY unregulated kits, Unregulated DIY ear-cleaning kits may increase the risk of earwax being pushed deeper into the ear canal.

Microsuction And Ear Syringing In Birmingham

Microsuction is generally well tolerated. Sensations and comfort levels vary between individuals.

Treatment often takes 10-15  minutes, though complex cases may take longer depending on how close the ear wax is to the eardrum.

Some patients benefit from softening drops post procedure but generally drops are not required.  If the audiologist feels drops may benefit post procedure they will advise and book you for a second appointment free of charge.

Microsuction is often preferred because it is a dry procedure, unlike traditional water-based ear irrigation. The most appropriate method of earwax removal is always determined following an individual clinical assessment. Microsuction may reduce certain risks associated with water-based irrigation for some patients, as ear irrigation can increase the risk of ear infection due to the introduction of water into the ear canal.

Microsuction is a widely used and clinically accepted method of earwax removal. NICE guidance recognises multiple appropriate techniques, with the choice based on individual clinical findings. You can read more about microsuction vs ear syringing and how audiologists select the most suitable method following assessment.
