Ear MICROSUCTION
EAR MICROSUCTION IN PORTSMOUTH
Experience the Benefits of Ear Microsuction – a safe and efficient method for removing excess ear wax. Using a high-powered microscope, our experts gently clean the ear canal using a suction device, eliminating the need for water.
This vacuum-like suction device effectively loosens and eliminates built-up ear wax, making it the optimal choice for a quick, safe, and highly effective ear wax removal procedure.
Procedure
We use a binocular high-powered microscope for a 3D stereoscopic view, with elevated power magnification and very bright illumination for our ear microsuction process. This advanced equipment provides us with a clear view of the ear canal, enhancing our ability to assess and treat it safely and effectively.
To further improve our earwax removal services, we utilize Waxtract. This gentle suction device cleans the ear without the use of water, operating similarly to a vacuum cleaner. Although it can be quite noisy, the procedure is quick, painless, and typically takes 15–20 minutes depending on the amount and consistency of the wax or debris.
If the object being removed is hard, removal may be slightly uncomfortable. Our team members will always talk you through each step of the procedure and advise you if they anticipate any discomfort.
How do i know if i need ear microsuction?
Cerumen, or ear wax as it is commonly known, is a normal secretion of the ceruminous glands in the outer meatus (ear canal). It is slightly acidic, giving it bactericidal qualities
Jaw movement (talking, eating etc) assists the movement of wax through the canal to the outside. A build-up of wax is more likely to occur in older adults, hearing aid users, people who insert implements into the ear or have narrow ear canals.
Excessive wax should be removed before it becomes impacted, which can give rise to tinnitus, hearing loss, vertigo, pain, and discharge.
