Microsuction is a technique used to safely remove a build-up of ear wax. We use a high-powered microscope to look down the narrow ear canal while using a gentle suction device to clean the ear without the use of water. The suction device acts like a vacuum cleaner, helping to loosen and remove any built-up ear wax.

It is the most effective, quick and safe way to remove ear wax. Here are some signs that you may need microsuction:

  1. Earwax buildup: If you have a buildup of earwax in your ear canal, it may cause symptoms such as earache, tinnitus, or a feeling of fullness in the ear. If you have tried at-home remedies to remove earwax, such as drops or irrigation, and they have not been successful, microsuction is the answer.
  2. Impacted earwax: If earwax becomes impacted or is pushed deeper into the ear canal, it may cause more serious symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, or hearing loss. In these cases, microsuction will help to remove the earwax and alleviate the symptoms.
  3. Ear infection: If you have an ear infection or other ear-related condition, such as a perforated eardrum, microsuction could be a helpful part of your treatment plan.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or have concerns about the health of your ears, come and see us at WaXtract for evaluation and treatment.
