What is Ear wax?
Ear wax, also known as cerumen, is a natural substance produced in the ear canal. It helps to protect the delicate skin and tissues in the ear, and acts as a barrier against dust, dirt, and other foreign particles. The normal amount of earwax is usually sufficient to keep the ears healthy, but sometimes the wax can become impacted, leading to symptoms such as hearing loss, ringing in the ears, ear pain, and discomfort. In these cases, it may be necessary to remove the excess earwax to restore comfort and hearing. It is important to seek the advice of a healthcare professional for proper earwax removal, as attempting to remove earwax using cotton swabs or other objects can push the wax further into the ear canal and cause damage.

Ear candling is a method of removing earwax that involves the use of a cone-shaped candle that is placed in the ear canal. The heat from the burning candle creates a vacuum that is said to remove earwax. Although ear candling is a popular alternative method for earwax removal, there is limited evidence to support its effectiveness and safety.
Microsuction, on the other hand, is considered the best method for earwax removal due to its safety and effectiveness.

The procedure is performed by a healthcare professional using a syringe and warm water to gently flush the ear canal, breaking up and removing the impacted earwax.

What is ear microsuction?
Ear microsuction can be likened to an ear vacuum. It is essentially the process of cleaning out your ear wax safely with a suction machine whilst using a microscope as the primary viewing equipment. The suction machine is used at calibrated pressure levels to remove ear wax safely from your ears. “Micro” refers to the microscope used to look into your ears during this procedure, while “suction” refers to the machine used to draw out the ear wax, hence “microsuction”.
Endoscopic wax removal is a more advanced option for looking into your ears during ear cleaning as it provides a real-time view of your ears. We always offer our customers endoscopic wax removal as a first option because it is the most advanced technique. Most of our clients enjoy seeing the video recording of the ear cleaning process. We use our CE-marked endoscope called VerifEYEd View.
What is the best way to remove ear wax?
Various techniques can be used for professional ear cleaning. The best technique depends on the nature of ear wax to be removed.
Our preferred method at Verified Hearing is endoscopic wax removal using a suction machine because this is the most advanced technique. However, in some cases, we would need to use a sterilised instrument, such as a Jobson Horne or ear hook, to remove the ear wax gently. Patients sensitive to loud sounds or who suffer from tinnitus may find the sound of a suction machine unpleasant. So, we tend to avoid using it in such cases.
Although ear irrigation is becoming less and less popular, there are times when this is the most suitable technique for ear wax removal. In such cases, we do not hesitate to employ it, using only the safest irrigation machine.
Does Verified Hearing offer children’s ear wax removal services?
Yes. We have a senior paediatric audiologist who is part of our team. We can safely clear ear wax from your child’s ear(s).
