A Guide to Ear Wax

Before we dive into the specifics of ear wax removal, it’s important to understand what ear wax is and how it can cause problems. Medically known as cerumen, ear wax is a natural substance produced by glands in the ear canal. Its purpose is to protect and lubricate the delicate skin of the ear canal, preventing the entry of dust, debris, and bacteria. In most cases, ear wax naturally moves out of the ear, aided by jaw movements such as talking and chewing.

However, some people experience an excessive build-up of ear wax, leading to uncomfortable symptoms like earache, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), reduced hearing, dizziness, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. Seeking professional ear wax removal is crucial to address these symptoms and restoring optimal ear health.

What is Micro Suction?

A small suction tube and probe are used in the micro suction method to carefully remove any excess wax from the ear. Shivas Pharmacy prefers to remove ear wax using micro suction. All of our specialists receive micro suction training from recognised training organisations.

You might not be able to have micro suction if you have certain ear-related conditions. This includes experiencing frequent ear infections or having an eardrum perforation.

How does micro suction work?

When you visit Shivas Pharmacy for a micro suction appointment, our experienced ear wax removal specialist will first go over your medical history with you. This checks to make sure micro suction is not medically contraindicated. Before starting the procedure, our expert will make sure your consent has been obtained and will go over any possible risks. Our top priorities are to ensure your safety and well-being.

Then, the specialist will use an otoscope, a magnifying device with a light on it, to examine your ears.

Using micro suction, we can make sure the wax in your ears is soft enough to be removed.

The specialist will carefully place the suction tube and probe into your ear to remove any soft wax.

Before scheduling a second appointment to remove the wax if it is too difficult to remove, we will advise you to use wax-softening drops like olive oil or sodium bicarbonate. Before using wax softening drops, please make sure to consult a healthcare professional.

The Benefits of Micro Suction

Micro suction has become a preferred method for ear wax removal due to its effectiveness and safety. Unlike traditional techniques such as ear syringing, which can be uncomfortable and carry the risk of damaging the ear canal or eardrum, micro suction offers a gentle and non-invasive approach.

Can micro suction damage your ears?

Micro suction is one of the safest and most efficient ways to remove ear wax when carried out by a qualified professional. Your visit to Shivas Pharmacy will typically last 30 minutes, giving you enough time for both a thorough evaluation and the procedure itself.

While the micro suction procedure is typically painless, you might hear some noise and feel a little discomfort. Please let our ear wax removal specialist know if you experience any discomfort or pain during your appointment.

After the removal of wax, you may notice a difference in how things sound, as well as a temporary ringing or buzzing sensation in your ears. These effects should subside within a few days.

During your appointment at Shivas Pharmacy, our ear wax removal expert will provide detailed information about the potential side effects of the procedure, ensuring that you are well informed and comfortable throughout the process.

Can micro suction remove hard wax?

Yes, impacted earwax can be removed using micro suction, but it works much better if the wax has already been softened. Our specialist audiologist will advise you on the best course of action before your appointment.

You may need to schedule a second appointment if the wax is too deep. Micro suction may not always be the best option, in which case your specialist will provide you with appropriate guidance regarding your other options.
