Tired of Blocked Ears? We Have the Solution

Blocked ears can affect your hearing, balance and comfort — but safe, fast relief is just one appointment away.
At Ear Wax Solution, our team of experienced audiologists provide microsuction ear wax removal at our clinic in Surrey and across London.
Recommended by ENT specialists and considered the gold standard for earwax removal, microsuction is safe, quick and effective, even if you’ve had problems with syringing in the past.
What is Microsuction?
Microsuction is a safe and gentle method of ear wax removal where a trained audiologist uses a fine suction device under a microscope to carefully remove wax from the ear canal.
Unlike syringing or irrigation, no water is flushed into the ear — making it suitable even for people with perforated eardrums, ear infections or previous ear surgery.
✔ ENT-recommended method
✔ Dry and precise
✔ Quick and virtually painless
Why Choose Microsuction Over Syringing?
Many patients ask us how microsuction compares to ear syringing or irrigation.
The key differences between microsuction and syringing or irigation are:
-
Safety – no water pressure, so lower risk of infection or damage
-
Accuracy – performed under direct vision with a microscope
-
Comfort – usually painless and only takes a few minutes
-
Suitability – safe for patients with ear conditions where syringing is not recommended
Did you know? The NHS now rarely offers syringing because microsuction is considered the safer and more effective method.

Aftercare Tips for Clear Hearing
After undergoing microsuction ear wax removal, proper aftercare is crucial to maintain healthy ears and enjoy clear hearing for the long term. This involves understanding the importance of ear care post-removal, the role of regular check-ups, and using recommended products like ear drops. Ensuring the ear canal remains clear of blockages and adopting healthy habits will enhance overall ear health. By maintaining these practices, you'll prevent future build-ups and support optimal hearing. Discover effective strategies and tips to care for your ears after a microsuction treatment.
Maintaining Healthy Ears Post-Removal
Maintaining the health of your ears after a microsuction removal procedure is essential to prevent issues like earwax build-up and to preserve your hearing clarity.
Start by practicing gentle ear care; avoid inserting cotton swabs or other objects into the ear canal, as this can lead to impacted wax.
Keeping the ears dry is another important component, which can be managed by drying them gently with a towel after swimming or showering.
Regularly use ear drops specifically designed to maintain ear health, as these can help clear any minor deposits that might form between appointments.
Keep an eye on any changes in your hearing or discomfort levels and inform a healthcare provider promptly if you notice anything unusual.
Scheduling regular check-ups with an ear specialist can ensure your ears are in optimal condition. These proactive measures support not just healthy ears but also contribute significantly to maintaining clear, unobstructed hearing.
Identifying the Need for Microsuction
The decision to pursue microsuction for earwax removal often stems from specific signs indicating professional intervention is necessary.
Symptoms such as ear discomfort, muffled hearing, and visible wax build-up can indicate a need for this procedure.
While natural earwax is beneficial for protecting the ear canal, excessive accumulation can lead to hearing issues and potential infections.
Through a proper health assessment, patients can understand when ear microsuction is the best option.
This non-invasive, high-precision method ensures a safe and effective solution, allowing individuals to regain clear hearing without the risks associated with traditional wax removal methods.
How to Know if You Need to Remove Earwax Professionally
Recognizing when earwax removal requires professional attention is vital for maintaining optimal ear health.
Look out for symptoms like persistent ear discomfort, hearing reduction, or a sensation of fullness in the ear canal.
These can be signs of significant earwax build-up that standard at-home methods might not resolve.
Visiting a healthcare provider such as Ear Wax Solution for an ear assessment can provide clarity.
Through necessary scans, professionals can determine the extent of the blockage and if microsuction is the right course of action.
Appointment at a clinic or hospital ensures a thorough examination and tailored treatment plan.
The NHS advises seeking help for persistent symptoms that might affect daily life, emphasizing the importance of regular ear health assessments.
This proactive approach helps identify potential issues early, preventing complications and ensuring your hearing remains unimpaired.
Ultimately, opting for professional earwax removal not only restores hearing but also enhances overall ear health, safeguarding against infections and ensuring peace of mind.
