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.
