Do you have blocked ears, trouble hearing, or a sensation of fullness in your ear? You may have a build-up of ear wax. Warrandyte Road Clinic offers ear microsuction – a safe, effective and precise way to remove ear wax.
What is Ear Microsuction?
Ear microsuction is a modern technique for clearing blocked ears. It involves using a gentle suction device under direct vision through a microscope or loupes. Unlike ear syringing or irrigation, microsuction doesn’t involve water, making it a cleaner and safer alternative, particularly for those with:
- Recurrent ear infections
- Perforated eardrums
- Grommets
- Previous ear surgery
Why Choose Microsuction?
- Safe and low risk
- More comfortable than syringing
- Quick procedure with instant results
- No need for softening drops in many cases
