Frequently Asked Questions
What is microsuction ear wax removal?
Microsuction is a safe and gentle method of ear wax removal that uses controlled suction to carefully remove wax from the ear canal. Unlike older methods that use water, microsuction allows the ears to be examined clearly throughout treatment, making it a popular option for many patients.
How do I know if I have ear wax build-up?
Common symptoms of ear wax build-up include blocked or muffled hearing, a feeling of fullness in the ear, ringing or buzzing sounds (tinnitus), discomfort, dizziness, or difficulty hearing conversations clearly.
Does microsuction ear wax removal hurt?
Most patients find microsuction comfortable and quick. You may hear some noise during treatment, but the procedure is gentle and carried out carefully. Vicki takes time to explain the process clearly and ensure patients feel reassured throughout their appointment.
How long does an ear wax removal appointment take?
Most appointments take around 30 minutes, including an ear examination, discussion of symptoms, and treatment where appropriate. Appointment times can vary depending on the amount of wax present and whether one or both ears require treatment.

Should I use olive oil before my appointment?
Using olive oil drops for a few days before your appointment may help soften ear wax and make removal easier. Guidance can be provided before your appointment if you are unsure whether ear drops are suitable for you.
