Microsuction
How is it done
Your microsuction appointment covers inspection, ear wax removal, education and health advice for both ears.
A combination of tools to safely remove the ear wax may be used during the appointment. This may include the use of a medical-grade suction unit, small microsuction tools, ear curettage, and cerumenolytics. Every service is specifically tailored to the individual and their situation.
The microsuction itself may be noisy as it removes the ear wax. If the wax is too hard or the ear canal is swollen and inflamed, then the procedure may be uncomfortable. This may necessitate the need for the client to soften the wax with olive oil for 3-7 days, then return, so the procedure can be completed with minimal discomfort.
Microsuction can be used even if there is a perforation, it is useful for removing debris and drainage resulting from an ear infection. It is also possible to remove foreign bodies.
Olive oil drops can be used in the ear canal to soften the ear wax for three days prior to the appointment provided the client does not have a perforation.
What if I do not have any wax?
If you book an appointment and you have no wax that needs to be removed, then you will be charged a $30 consult fee.
It is important to note that hearing loss and earaches also have other causes. You should consult your doctor if you have these symptoms or think you have an ear infection.
