If you find that moderately loud noise like a vacuum cleaner or hand dryer causes you physical pain, then microsuction may not be right for you. Instead, we would recommend manual instrument ear wax removal. Fortunately all of our practitioners are trained to offer manual instrument ear wax removal, which is especially suitable for people who are very sensitive to loud noise.

Since the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis, we have unfortunately ceased to offer our service for under 12s.

If your ear has been examined by a doctor, nurse or Audiologist and your ear wax has been confirmed as being impacted, you should buy Waxsol from a Pharmacy and use it for two days before your procedure as advised in the patient leaflet. Otherwise we recommend that you use two squirts of Earol spray two to three times a day for at least three days before your procedure. When you come to your appointment, we will discuss any issues that may affect the procedure, examine your ear, then examine your ear with a portable ENT microscope. As long as it is safe to proceed, we will use gentle medical suction as well as specialist ENT instruments to safely and gently remove your impacted ear wax

If you have confirmed soft ear wax, then you do not need to soften it as it is already soft. Also, if you have a perforated ear drum that has not healed, then you should not use ear drops before a microsuction procedure.
In every other case, pre-softening the wax is recommended: in “Aural microsuction for wax impaction: survey of efficacy and patient perception“, a significant finding was “Patients who had used cerumenolytics [ear drops or sprays] reported significantly less pain and vertigo [dizziness]”. Combining this important information with the study below (Suction-generated noise levels during aural toilet), we can conclude that patients should use 2 to 3 squirts of Earol spray (optionally with the addition of 3 glycerine drops 2 – 3 times a day) for at least 3 days prior to a microsuction procedure. Very hard impacted ear wax can also be softened with Waxsol used for two days prior to a microsuction procedure.
It is worth noting that there has been a recent review of various studies comparing the effectiveness of different types of ear drops. The conclusion is that no one brand of ear drop has been comprehensively shown to be better than any other. Nevertheless, we still recommend the use of Earol spray with the optional addition of glycerine drops as this has been shown to increase the comfort as well as reduce the chances of vertigo during a microsuction procedure.
We specifically recommend you do not use sodium bicarbonate or hydrogen peroxide ear drops: In a study called “Suction-generated noise levels during aural toilet“, noise levels were measured in the ear of an artificial model head using various suction tubes on different substances. It was noted that the suctioning of water generated very high levels of noise (over 130 dB(A)). For this reason we do not generally recommend the use of aggressive ear drops that contain sodium bicarbonate or urea hydrogen peroxide as it can make ear wax very watery, greatly increasing the noise level during the procedure. In addition, prolonged use of sodium bicarbonate ear drops can lead to an opportunistic infection of the ear canal (because sodium bicarbonate reduces the protective acidity level within the canal); and prolonged use of urea hydrogen peroxide drops can cause severe irritation to the skin surface in the ear canal in some people (hydrogen peroxide is bleach, after all).

We give research-backed reasons why you need to soften your ear wax in the above answer to “Do I need to soften my ear wax?”

Other websites say you don’t need to soften your ear wax because they want to get you through their door. If they then find that your ear wax is too hard, could you then be sure that they would stop and tell you that they weren’t entirely honest and you do actually need to soften your ear wax – and you’ll have to come back at another time?

We would rather be completely up front, outlining the benefits of pre-softening with Earol for you safety and comfort, as well as it greatly improving the chances of a successful procedure.

At the Hearing First Microsuction Ear Wax Removal Network we never syringe or irrigate. Instead, we use the far safer microsuction and manual instrument methods to remove ear wax.

Syringing was routinely offered in GP surgeries, and was largely replaced in the 1980s with electric ear irrigators. However, in a 2002 article (Removal of ear wax | The BMJ), the BMJ reported that ear syringing carries with it a high chance of complications: perforation of the ear drum, otitis externa, damage to the external canal, pain, deafness, vertigo, and tinnitus are all possible with syringing.

Syringing and irrigation is also contraindicated (not recommended) in case of current or previous ear drum perforation, ear infection, presence of a grommet, or a history of ear surgery, whereas microsuction can be safely used in these cases.

Microsuction is much safer than syringing, but requires a significantly higher level of training. All of our audiologists are hand picked and undergo additional training in advanced ear wax removal methods, giving us an unrivalled success rate of 99.8%.
