When ear wax builds up, it can cause significant discomfort, a feeling of fullness, and even temporary hearing loss. Micro-suction is widely recognised by clinical experts as the gold standard for ear wax removal.
Unlike traditional syringing, which forces water into the ear canal, micro-suction uses a gentle, medical-grade vacuum to carefully lift the blockage away. The main benefits of this advanced procedure include:
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing and instructions to empower your healthcare decisions.
To ensure your treatment is as comfortable and successful as possible, preparation is essential.
Actionable advice: Please use a medical-grade olive oil ear spray to soften the wax in your affected ear(s) for 3 to 5 days before your scheduled appointment. Softening the wax is a crucial step that allows the micro-suction device to remove the blockage smoothly and safely.
No, the procedure is completely painless. You will hear a slight whooshing or clicking sound from the suction device and feel a gentle pulling sensation inside the ear, but it is designed to be entirely comfortable.
The procedure is incredibly efficient. Most appointments are completed within 15 to 30 minutes, allowing you to return to your normal daily activities right away.
If the wax has not been sufficiently softened, we may not be able to remove it safely in one session. This is why we strongly advise applying olive oil spray for up to 5 days prior to your visit. If the wax is still too hard, a follow-up appointment may be necessary.
Do not let compromised hearing or ear discomfort disrupt your daily life. Contact Island Hearing today to schedule your procedure and experience immediate relief.
