Home Visit
Emma arrives at your home with all the professional equipment needed. There's no need to travel to a clinic or arrange transport. We come to you across Welwyn Garden City and Hertfordshire.
Ear Assessment
Before any treatment, Emma uses an otoscope to carefully examine your ears. She'll explain what she finds, discuss whether treatment is needed, and answer any questions you have.
Microsuction Treatment
Using medical-grade microsuction equipment, Emma gently and safely removes the ear wax. The procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes and most patients find it comfortable with minimal discomfort.
Aftercare & Advice
After treatment, Emma provides personalised aftercare advice, including how to care for your ears, what to expect in the days following treatment, and when to seek further help if needed.
What Is Microsuction?
Microsuction is a safe, gentle method of ear wax removal that uses a small suction device to carefully remove wax from the ear canal. It is the method recommended by ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) specialists and is widely used in NHS and private clinics.
Unlike ear syringing (which pushes water into the ear), microsuction is a dry procedure. This means there is no risk of water being forced deeper into the ear canal, and no mess. The clinician has a clear view of the ear canal throughout the entire procedure, making it extremely precise and safe.
Microsuction is suitable for most people, including those with perforated eardrums, hearing aids, or a history of ear surgery.
