Wax removal won’t be necessary for the majority of people, and some may even be able to do it themselves at home. But if your earwax is giving you problems, there are choices from medical professionals. At the moment, we provides  microsuction earwax removal homes services in Colchester Essex, Witham Essex, Maldon Essex and Chelmsford.

To schedule for our microsuction earwax removal services, you are not required to have health insurance.

While there are safe home remedies for removing earwax, such as olive oil drops or ear canal hygiene sprays, these are sometimes insufficient for those with heavy or impacted earwax. One of the safest methods for getting rid of extra wax is through microsuction earwax removal. To ensure that you receive the best care possible, a qualified specialist examines your ears both before and after the appointment. In general, you should refrain from inserting objects like cotton buds or fingers into your ears. Infection and injury are possible effects of this. Furthermore, it can force wax deeper into your ear canal, aggravate ear blockage, or possibly harm your ear drum.

Microsuction is the approach we employ to remove earwax because it is the safest. We can observe and safeguard delicate tissues like your ear drum while safely removing your earwax by using a microscopic camera to peer into your ear canal. The earwax is then gently suctioned out using a device. We avoid using syringing to remove earwax since it is unsuitable for everyone and can lead to infection and eardrum damage.

You must be over 18 and give your agreement to the process, as well as acknowledge that you understand the advantages and dangers, in order to utilise earwax microsuction removal service. Anyone who won’t be able to sit still should not have the operation because there is a chance that their ear may be harmed. This service might not be appropriate if you have other conditions including an infection, ear surgery, acute tinnitus, or vertigo. When you make a reservation and have the chance to fill out a questionnaire, you’ll be able to see a complete list of factors that may make this service inappropriate for you. There is no need to make the reservation if this demonstrates that the treatment is inappropriate.

Please let us know if there are any changes between the time you scheduled your microsuction earwax removal appointment and the time you are scheduled to arrive. Otherwise, the treatment may no longer be appropriate for you.

If you use an over-the-counter earwax softener, earwax removal is likely to be more successful and far more comfortable for you. Your earwax removal procedure could not be successful if you don’t initially do this, particularly if your earwax is firm and impacted. We advise using earwax softening drops for two to three days before your earwax removal procedure, or for five days if you believe your earwax is particularly firm. Your local pharmacy may sell earwax softeners like olive oil drops or sprays or ear-canal hygiene sprays (who can advise if they are right for you)

• If you wear a hearing aid, only use earwax softening drops at night and avoid putting it on right away because this can harm the device.
• After applying the ear drops, if you get a terrible taste in your mouth, you may have a hole in your ear drum. It may not be obvious to you, but it rarely causes cause for concern. It would, however, prevent us from providing you with our earwax removal service. Stop using the ear drops, then visit your GP.

Although they are uncommon, these side effects of microsuction include:

• Feeling lightheaded or faint – This is often a transitory reaction of the body to the ear canal cooling down following wax removal. If you are already suffering dizziness or fainting spells, you should consult a doctor rather than getting earwax removed.
• Damage to the ear or eardrum, which may result in mild bleeding, is an unusual adverse effect, and the danger can be greatly reduced by being able to sit very still throughout the entire earwax removal treatment.
• Noise-induced damage: Although this is uncommon, you could temporarily lose your hearing. This is due to the possibility that tiny muscles in your ear may constrict to shield them from the sounds of the suction device. Tinnitus is exceedingly uncommonly brought on by or aggravated by microsuction.
• Infection: We strictly adhere to infection control protocols and only use one tool per patient. Earwax removal does, however, carry a very minor risk of infection, which is treatable, as with any procedure.
