Why our micro-suction ear wax removal stands out

Not all micro-suction services are equal!

Your ear is a delicate structure and should not be treated by anyone who does not have a thorough training in audiology – there are now many people offering this service who have done just a weekend course or, worse still, only an online reference.

A COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION

  • A comprehensive hearing test clarifies your overall hearing health to reassure you and prevent further decline.
  • An audiologist talks you through the non-invasive test, making you feel more comfortable about the process.
  • When you come to Easi Ear, you’ll see an audiologist with more than 30 years’ experience who will ensure you get the care and attention you need.

“Walked in hearing nothing and left hearing birds…

“I was expecting to wait until mid May for an appointment elsewhere, but Ian managed to fit me in on the same day! I walked in hearing nothing and left hearing birds. Really great and fast treatment, I’d recommend it to anyone.”

Experiencing a build-up of ear wax? Turn to the professionals

Ear wax may fall out of your ear over time, just through a natural process, but you should never attempt to remove it by inserting anything into your ear – especially cotton buds. Regular ear wax softening products may induce ear wax to come out, but this can take some time and can actually make the situation worse – check the ingredients before you start or, better still, call us for free and ask our advice. Call us if it is irritating and/or painful because you would like immediate relief.

Our EAR WAX REMOVAL PROCESS

Our audiologist has over 25 years of experience in audiology. They will talk you through the ear wax extraction process which is painless and safe.

  1. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: The first step of a hearing test is a physical examination and we’ll also ask about your general health and lifestyle.
  2. AUDIOGRAM TEST: A more detailed hearing healthcare check is an audiogram test. Your assessment begins with an audiogram, where we examine your hearing abilities so we can understand your unique hearing needs. Performs a hearing test to identify common problems and to assess you for potential hearing issues. Sometimes it will be straightforward, like an ear wax build up, for example.
  3. DIAGNOSTIC TEST If, after completing an examination, we find that your hearing difficulties are more complex, then we perform a full diagnostic test and use the results to determine if hearing aids are the most practical next step.
  4. NEXT STEPS: From there, we’ll discuss next steps around whether you need hearing aids or simply ear wax extraction. Either way we have you covered with our hearing services.

COMMON CAUSES OF EAR WAX BUILD UP AND WHEN TO SEEK REMOVAL

Why do I have a build-up of ear wax?

You can’t prevent ear wax. It’s there to protect your ears from dirt and germs. Nevertheless, there are several reasons why you might get a build-up of earwax:

  • Unique to you: You just have more wax in your ears (some people naturally do).
  • Limited space: you have hairy or narrow canals (the tubes that link the eardrum and outer ear).
  • Your age: ear wax gets harder and more difficult to fall out as you age.
  • Ear wax being pushed in: Hearing aids, earplugs, and other things you place within your ear might be pushing the wax further in.

Several symptoms may indicate earwax:

  • Ear pain
  • Difficulty hearing
  • Itchiness
  • Dizziness
  • Ear infection
  • Sounds such as high-pitched tones (tinnitus).

Micro-Suction Ear Wax Removal: Innovative and Safe

It is an innovative wax-removal technique that uses binocular vision complete with high-intensity light (which allows depth perception and magnification) to look straight into the ear canal. It employs a very fine sterile suction device at safe, low pressure to remove the wax build-up.

Thus, the micro suction technique for ear wax removal means that we can always see precisely what we are doing and can avoid touching the skin on the sides of the ear canal, which makes the process a lot more comfortable, even if we occasionally need to use other instruments or techniques to remove hard wax.

Compared to traditional forms of wax removal such as ear drops and ear irrigation or syringing, micro suction is safer, quicker, generally better tolerated and more effective and can usually be done immediately, without having to wait weeks for drops to soften the ear wax.

HOME REMEDIES OR a professional?

There are a lot of suggested home remedies for this common problem. Mineral oil, olive oil, and OTC sodium bicarbonate ear drops work to soften wax, and others turn to ear candling or the popular favourite, cotton buds for managing ear wax.

While some audiologists may suggest using products to soften wax, we advise against treating the problem yourself as this can often be detrimental to ear health.

Trusted Audiology Services for Safe Ear Wax Removal

There is currently much concern among leading ENT Consultants and experienced Audiologists over the number of poorly trained operatives now offering this service. They are seeing increasing cases of damage caused by people who are not experts in this procedure – ask about their experience, regulatory body, insurance and length of training in Audiology before committing your ears to their hands.

Please read this statement issued by the British Society of Audiology (BSA) and British Academy of Audiology (BAA), which highlights the significance of safe and effective earwax removal services and the imperative need for training, regulation, and collaboration within the audiology profession. Trust a professional like Ian for your ear care.

EAR WAX REMOVAL FAQS

How can I remove ear wax at home?

You can use over-the-counter ear drops, such as hydrogen peroxide(bleach| -based or saline solution or glycerin, to soften the wax. After a few days, gently flush your ear with warm water using a bulb syringe. Avoid inserting cotton swabs or any sharp or small objects into your ears, as this can push wax further in or cause damage.

What dissolves ear wax the fastest?

Hydrogen peroxide-based ear drops, carbamide peroxide solutions, or warm mineral oil can quickly dissolve ear wax. These are available at most pharmacies and are safe when used as directed.

How do I unblock my ears from wax?

Use ear drops to soften the wax, and then gently flush the ear with warm water. If this doesn’t work, visit a healthcare professional for safe removal through ear irrigation or micro-suction.

Does the NHS do free ear wax removal?

The NHS in the UK has largely stopped offering free ear wax removal services. You may need to visit a private clinic or pharmacy, though some GP practices still provide the service if deemed medically necessary.

What is ear wax removal?

Ear wax removal is the process of clearing excess or impacted ear wax from the ear canal to restore hearing and comfort. Common methods include irrigation, micro-suction, and manual removal.

What causes ear wax build-up?

Ear wax build-up can occur due to:

  • Overproduction of wax.
  • Narrow or curved ear canals.
  • Use of hearing aids or earplugs.
  • Improper cleaning with cotton swabs that push wax deeper into the ear canal.

How can I tell if I need ear wax removal?

Signs you may need ear wax removal include:

  • Reduced hearing.
  • A feeling of fullness or blockage in the ear.
  • Earache.
  • Tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
  • Dizziness.

What is micro-suction ear wax removal?

Micro-suction is a professional procedure where a small vacuum device gently removes excess ear wax under the guidance of a microscope. It is precise, effective, and does not involve water.

Is micro-suction ear wax removal safe?

Yes, micro-suction is generally very safe when performed by trained professionals. It minimises the risk of damage to the ear canal or eardrum compared to other methods.

How long does the ear wax removal procedure take?

The procedure typically takes about 15–30 minutes, depending on the amount and type of wax.

Does ear wax removal hurt?

Ear wax removal is usually painless. You might feel some mild discomfort or a tickling sensation during the procedure, but it shouldn’t be painful.

How often should I get my ears cleaned?

Most people don’t need regular cleaning, as ear wax naturally clears itself. If you’re prone to excessive wax build-up, cleaning every 6–12 months may be sufficient.

Can I remove ear wax at home?

Yes, but you need to take care. Don’t use cotton swabs or cotton buds as these can push wax down further and make the problem worse. Try softening the wax with ear drops. The NHS has some guidelines for safe ear wax removal you can follow. Don’t use drops if you have an infection, a perforated eardrum, discharge or dermatitis. In these cases, you should speak to a healthcare professional.

What happens if I don’t get my ear wax removed?

A buildup of ear wax can lead to hearing loss, discomfort, ear infections, or damage to the eardrum if left untreated. It’s important to address severe build-up promptly.

Is ear wax removal covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by insurance provider. Companies such as Aviva, Axa, and Vitality Health Insurance cover it, for example. However, many plans consider ear wax removal a routine or non-essential procedure, so it may not be covered. Check with your provider for details.

How can I prevent ear wax buildup?

  • Avoid inserting objects into your ears.
  • Use ear drops periodically to keep wax soft.
  • Protect your ears from excessive debris or water.
  • If you use hearing aids or earplugs, clean them regularly.
