At Just Ears, our mission is to provide top-notch ear care with a personal touch. One of the most common issues our patients face is earwax buildup, which can be uncomfortable and difficult to manage on your own. To address this, we offer a highly effective and safe treatment called microsuction. Here’s everything you need to know about earwax and why microsuction at Just Ears is the best solution for you.
What is Ear Wax?
Earwax, also known as cerumen, is a natural substance produced by glands in your ear canal. It plays a vital role in protecting your ears by trapping dust, dirt, and other foreign particles, preventing them from reaching the eardrum. Earwax also has antibacterial properties that help protect the ear from infections. Normally, earwax makes its way out of the ear naturally through chewing and jaw movements, where it dries up and falls out.
However, sometimes earwax can build up, leading to blockages. This can cause symptoms such as hearing loss, earache, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), dizziness, and even infections. Blocked ears can be extremely unpleasant and are almost impossible to self-treat safely.
About Microsuction Ear Wax Removal
At Just Ears, we offer a quick, convenient, and affordable treatment called microsuction, priced at £79 for both ears. This procedure gently and safely removes wax and debris from your ear. Here’s how it works:
Initial Consultation: First, we discuss your problem with you and explain the procedure.
Examination: We then gently examine your ear canal using a special microscope.
Wax Removal: While looking down your ear canal with the microscope, we use a tiny vacuum cleaner to clear the blockage.
Final Check: Finally, we use the microscope to check the condition of your eardrum and let you know how the procedure went.
More Effective Than Common Alternative Treatments
Microsuction is more effective than common alternative treatments such as ear syringing, which uses a jet of water to try and dislodge wax buildups, or using a probe and a headlight. Microsuction not only removes more wax but is also safer because the procedure is performed under direct vision using both eyes with a microscope. This means there is good depth perception and a clear view of the tip of the suction probe at all times.
