Your ears are self-cleaning, but occasionally this mechanism can fail. When this happens, Auditone Hearing is here to help. Ear wax is the most common cause of blocked ears.
Our Audiologists get asked how to remove ear wax almost every day. Our Audiologists only practice and promote microsuction as this is the gold-standard method of treating ear blockage caused by wax.
What is microsuction?
‘Micro’ because we use microscopes to look into your ear canal, and ‘suction’ because we use a finely calibrated suction device to vacuum out the wax in your ear canal.
Occasionally, when microsuction alone is not possible, we use a combination of fine instruments and eardrops – eg. in cases of severely impacted earwax or foreign object removal.
The microsuction procedure will normally take a maximum of 20 minutes. The most you should feel is a gentle pulling sensation as your ear is cleaned.
Once the procedure is complete patients will notice an immediate relief in their symptoms and often an instant improvement in hearing. No more blocked ears.
If you have any questions regarding microsuction or wish to make an appointment to have your ears cleaned please call us at 021-4271351
