How Microsuction Works

Our Audiologist John explains how Microsuction wax removal works and completes a demonstration.

Before Your Ear Wax Removal Appointment

Before your appointment, our Audiologists recommend using Earol for 4 – 5 days before the appointment. Earol contains olive oil that assists in soften and loosen the wax in the ear canal. Our Audiologists recommend using Earol twice daily for 4 – 5 days before your appointment.

Does microsuction hurt?

Microsuction is not painful and quite often the preferred method of removing ear wax. Traditionally ear syringing or ear irrigation were performed to remove the wax. Ear syringing and ear irrigation aimed to remove wax blockages by squirting water into the ear canal to release the blockage. Microsuction is a clean and accurate method of removing wax with a lower risk. Microsuction is a very safe method of removing ear wax blockages. As no water and irrigation is used, the risk of eardrum perforation, infections, or trauma to the eardrum is greatly reduced. We have several Audiologists who can perform microscution in our clinics across Ireland.

How much does microsuction cost?

Microsuction costs €50 for 1 ear & €75 for both. We will always advise the use of Earol 4 – 5 days before your appointment. Earol can be purchased on our online store for €9 or in your local pharmacy.
