What is ear wax?
Ear wax is typically produced in small amounts and gradually moves out of the ear canal on its own, often assisted by jaw
movements (like chewing). However, sometimes too much ear wax can build up, causing blockages, discomfort, or even hearing
issues. In such cases, it may need to be safely removed.
1. What is ear wax removal?
Ear wax removal clears excess or impacted wax from your ears. We use microsuction, a safe and effective method that removes wax without water.
2. How does microsuction work?
Microsuction uses a low-pressure suction device to remove earwax quickly and painlessly without water.
3. What is ear irrigation?
Ear irrigation flushes out earwax with warm water. It differs from microsuction as it relies on water pressure rather than suction and may not be suitable for everyone.
4. What is the difference between ear syringing and irrigation?
Ear syringing is an older method using a metal syringe to inject water into the ear canal. It has been replaced by ear irrigation, which uses a controlled electronic pump for a gentler approach.
5. Is ear wax removal painful?
No, microsuction is gentle and comfortable, providing instant relief.
