Microsuction vs Ear Irrigation: What’s the difference?
Microsuction (recommended method) ✅
Microsuction uses a specialised medical microscope and a tiny suction device to gently remove ear wax under direct visual guidance. This allows your clinician to see exactly what they’re doing, making it safer and more precise than other methods.
Benefits of microsuction:
- Controlled direct removal with less risk of pushing wax deeper
- No liquids or water in the ear canal
- Works for most wax types, even hard or impacted wax
- Comfortable and suitable for most adults and children
Ear Irrigation (water flushing)
Irrigation uses a controlled stream of water to flush out wax. While it can be effective for some patients, it isn’t suitable for everyone, particularly those with:
- A history of perforated eardrum
- Recent ear surgery
- Ear infections or sensitive skin
- Narrow ear canals
Microsuction is widely regarded as the preferred choice in private clinical settings because it’s precise, has fewer contraindications and doesn’t rely on water flow. Your clinician will discuss the right option for you during your assessment.
How long does the procedure take?
Most ear wax microsuction appointments last around 15–30 minutes per session, depending on how much wax needs removing and whether one or both ears are treated.
Before we begin, a clinician will:
- Review your symptoms and medical history
- Examine your ears with a medical otoscope or microscope
- Explain the procedure and answer any questions
Treatment provides instant improvement in hearing and comfort for most patients. Some may experience a sensation of fullness or slight sensitivity afterwards this normally settles quickly.
