What is microsuction ear wax removal?
Microsuction is a safe, pain-free, and highly effective way to remove ear wax.
Using a gentle suction device and a microscope, your audiologist removes the ear wax without water, making it a cleaner and more precise treatment than ear syringing.
At Direct Ear Care, our HCPC-registered audiologists use microsuction to give you instant relief and clearer hearing in minutes.
How is microsuction performed?
Microsuction is a quick and gentle procedure.
Your audiologist uses a small suction device and a microscope or an endoscope to clearly see the ear canal and safely remove the ear wax.
You’ll be comfortable throughout the treatment. Afterwards, we’ll show you a picture of your ears so you can see the results for yourself.

Do I need to use ear drops beforehand?
Yes, for microsuction we recommend using olive oil 2-3 days before your appointment to soften the ear wax.

Depending on the amount of ear wax buildup, the procedure is usually about 15- 30 minutes.

Is microsuction earwax removal painful?
Most patients find the procedure painless. However, some may experience slight discomfort or an unusual sensation due to the noise of the suction device.
