The Procedure
Your ear health appointment will be conducted by one of our experienced Ear Nurses, who have extensive knowledge and experience treating patients of all ages. We use a gentle method to remove ear wax or infection using a small suction device.
Your visit typically includes:
- 💬Discussion of Your Ear Health History: We’ll begin by discussing any ear-related concerns or symptoms you may have.
- 🔍Examination of the Ear Canal and Eardrum: Using magnifying binocular glasses (loupes), we will carefully examine your ear canal and eardrum to assess the condition and identify any blockages.
- 🌀Gentle Removal of Ear Wax and Debris: Our Ear Nurse will use a small suction device, similar to a tiny vacuum, along with fine instruments to gently remove ear wax and debris. This process helps clear any blockages and allows for a clear view of the eardrum.
- 👂🏽Detailed Assessment of the Eardrum: After cleaning, we’ll perform a thorough check of your eardrum to ensure there are no perforations or fluid behind it.
- 💡Ear Health Advice: We’ll provide you with personalised advice on how to maintain optimal ear health and prevent future issues.
✨Our microsuction technique is similar to methods used by ENT specialists and is widely regarded as a clinically proven and comfortable procedure. Most patients experience immediate relief and improved hearing clarity following the treatment.
⏱️ Appointment Duration
Most appointments take between 15–30 minutes, depending on your individual needs. More complex cases, such as impacted wax or infections, may require follow-up visits.
For Children: Please keep in mind that we require children to be able to follow directions and remain as still as possible during the treatment. ⚠️This is necessary for their safety.
