When performed by an appropriately trained and qualified professional, microsuction earwax removal is accepted as the safest and most effective method of earwax removal, and is suitable for all kinds of ears, including those that have undergone surgery.

Unlike ear syringing, no liquids or chemicals are put into your ears during microsuction. This means that there is a lot less mess and the procedure has fewer risks associated with it.

Microsuction also allows your audiologist or registered hearing care assistant to use a head-worn microscope, providing a clear view of the ear canal and eardrum, and good depth of vision at all times during the earwax removal process.

Appropriately trained professionals have the skills and experience to perform microsuction safely. However, it’s worth noting that, being unregulated, earwax removal services may be advertised by those who do not hold an appropriate clinical qualification.
