What is Earwax and Why is Removal Important?

Earwax, or cerumen, is a natural substance produced by glands in your ear canal. It serves several essential functions:

Protection: Earwax protects the delicate skin of the ear canal from bacteria, fungi, insects, and water.

Lubrication: It helps keep the ear canal moisturised, preventing dryness and itching.

Cleaning: Earwax naturally moves out of the ear, carrying dirt, dust, and other debris with it.

However, sometimes earwax can accumulate and harden, leading to a blockage. Symptoms of excessive earwax include:

• Hearing loss
• Earache
• Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
• Dizziness
• Coughing

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to seek professional earwax removal services.

 

 

Why Choose Microsuction Earwax Removal?

Microsuction is widely regarded as the safest and most effective method for removing earwax. Here’s why:

Precision and Safety: Microsuction uses a gentle suction device to remove earwax under the direct vision of a microscope. This ensures that the ear canal and eardrum are not damaged during the procedure.

Comfort: Unlike traditional methods such as ear syringing, microsuction is generally more comfortable for the patient. There is no need for water, which means no mess or risk of infection.

Quick and Efficient: The procedure usually takes only a few minutes and provides immediate relief from the symptoms of earwax blockage.

Effective for All: Microsuction is suitable for most people, including those with perforated eardrums or previous ear surgeries.
