Everything You Need To Know About Ear Wax Removal
If you've never had ear wax removal before, it's completely normal to have questions.
Watch our short video to learn more about the symptoms of ear wax build-up, how microsuction works and what you can expect during your appointment.
Common Signs Of Excess Ear Wax
Ear wax plays an important role in protecting your ears. However, when it builds up excessively, it can sometimes affect your hearing, comfort and day to day life.
Muffled Hearing
Sounds may become unclear, distant or difficult to understand.
Blocked Ears
Many people describe a sensation of pressure or fullness inside the ear.
Ringing, Buzzing Or Discomfort
Impacted ear wax can sometimes contribute to tinnitus symptoms and cause discomfort.
What Happens During Ear Wax Removal?
Many patients are surprised by how quick and comfortable microsuction treatment can be.
Watch a short demonstration below to see exactly what happens during an appointment.
Safe, Effective Treatment Tailored To You
At GP Healthcare Alliance Clinic, we offer both Microsuction and Ear Irrigation.
Following an assessment of your ears, our clinician will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on the amount of wax present, your medical history and the condition of your ears.
This means you can be confident that you're receiving the safest and most effective treatment for your individual needs.
Microsuction
Microsuction uses a gentle medical suction device to carefully remove ear wax whilst allowing the clinician to maintain a clear view of the ear canal throughout the procedure.
It is widely regarded as one of the safest and most precise methods of ear wax removal and is suitable for many patients.
Ear Irrigation
Ear irrigation uses a controlled flow of warm water to gently remove softened ear wax from the ear canal.
For some patients, irrigation may be the most appropriate treatment option and can be highly effective at clearing impacted wax.

Treatment

Leave Hearing More Clearly
Most patients experience immediate relief from symptoms caused by wax build-up.
Before Your Appointment
To help make treatment as effective as possible, we recommend using olive oil drops in the affected ear for up to seven days before your appointment.
This helps soften the wax and can make removal quicker and more comfortable.
Please avoid using cotton buds, as they often push wax deeper into the ear canal and may worsen the blockage.
