Ear Wax Removal by Vacuum (Microsuction)
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.
What to Expect from Ear Wax Removal by Microsuction
Your appointment includes a full extended medical case history to understand your ear health, followed by a safe and controlled microsuction procedure:
Case history
We’ll discuss your symptoms, lifestyle factors, and past ear health.
Otoscopy
Examination of the ear canal and eardrum using a medical otoscope.
Consent & explanation
We’ll explain the procedure clearly and answer any questions you may have.
Microsuction procedure
A fine suction probe and tube are used to gently vacuum wax from your ear canal.
Before/after visuals
