What happens at your ear cleaning appointment
You will be seen by one of our audiologist and the appointment can last up to 20 minutes
- Medical History: After checking your details, we will ask you a few questions to understand your ear blockage symptoms better and make sure there are no contraindications for the procedure.
- Ear examination: We will examine your ears with a medical oto-endoscope and explain the condition of your ears while showing you the video, if you would like to see.
- Explaining the procedure: Microsuction and endoscopic suction are our go-to procedures. We will explain the procedure to you and obtain consent verbally or via a consent form.
- Microsuction procedure: Microsuction is a painless procedure that should take 5-7 minutes for each ear.
- Post procedure otoendoscopy: We will properly examine your ears after the procedure and take another recording of your ears to show you if you wish to see.
- Ear care advice: We will give you advice tailored to you on how to look after your ears going forward.
- Free Follow-up: Once you become our patient you get free life-time free ear checks. We invite you a free check every 6 months.
What happens if your ear blockage is not earwax
Unfortunately, sometimes the cause of ear blockage or hearing loss is not ear wax. As audiologists, we are trained to investigate the cause of your hearing loss. We will offer you a hearing test and tympanometry (pressure test that checks the middle ear status) at the appointment. If we diagnose any condition that needs further management, we will write to your GP to facilitate an onward referral or refer to a private ENT who can see you within 48 hours.
Why microsuction ear wax removal
Microsuction is the safest method for removing ear wax and our procedure of choice. Our audiologist will use a small suction tube attached to an ENT grade suction unit to suck the ear wax out of your ears while visualising your ear canals and ear drum through an ENT-grade microscope or endoscope. For some patients ear irrigation (flushing the wax out gently with water) or manual instrumentation may be more suitable. If this is the case, we will explain why we think an alternative procedure is best for you and obtain your consent.
Why is ear syringing no longer recommended
Short answer is we found a better way of cleaning ears. Ear syringing uses a manual ear syringe to flush water into the ear canal with the hope of forcefully pushing the ear wax out. Over the years, experts found due to force exerted during the procedure, a higher number of ear drum perforations were recorded. There were also reports of ear infections following the procedure. Lastly, sometimes the water pushed the earwax further down the ear canal causing more problems. Since we now have safer methods of ear wax removal like microsuction, this method was discredited in the UK and we do not use it in our clinic.
