Ear Wax Removal by Vacuum (Microsuction)

Close-up of a person examining an ear with an otoscope while wearing glasses.

If you’re experiencing blocked ears, discomfort, or reduced hearing, ear wax removal by vacuum, also known as microsuction, is the safest and most effective treatment available.

Unlike ear syringing or home remedies, microsuction uses a fine suction probe to gently remove wax from the ear canal while under direct visualisation.

At The Studio Goostrey, we use advanced equipment, including an otoscope, to ensure maximum safety and comfort. Patients can view before-and-after images or videos to see the difference for themselves.
