What is Ear Wax?

Naturally produced in the ear canal, earwax moisturises and protects them from dust, germs, irritation and even insects. Most people don’t need to remove it because our ears are ‘self cleaning’ - earwax moves from part way down the canal to the outside of your ear naturally.

Some people can have problems with excess earwax, or it may get stuck in their ears. In these cases, people can suffer from discomfort or reduced hearing and can benefit from having the earwax removed. Our earwax removal service is a safe, effective way of sorting these issues.

What is ear microsuction?

Microsuction is one of the best ways to remove earwax. Once Dr.James Keir has assessed your ear canal, he will use a gentle suction device to remove any earwax blockages.

This suction device acts like a vacuum cleaner, helping to loosen and remove any impacted earwax. Once the procedure is over, Dr.Keir will use a microscope to check over your ears.

Previously, using an ear syringe with water was a common way to get rid of earwax, however microsuction is a quick and much safer method.

Start eardrops a few days before your appointment

Once booked, we’ll ask you to start using olive oil or almond oil ear drops three to four times daily for up to five days prior to your appointment to soften your ear wax and increase the chances of a successful microsuction.

You can buy wax softeners from most high street chemists. Please do not use any ear drops which contain hydrogen peroxide. As well as potentially causing irritation and discomfort during the procedure; these products can also cause microsuction to be unsuccessful.

Using ear drops before your appointment makes removal much easier and quicker. If Dr.Keir can’t remove all the wax, they’ll advise you on what to do next.

Attend your appointment at the Lido Medical Practice

The appointment itself will last around 15 minutes. Dr.James Keir will run through some questions, talk you through the process and make sure you’re happy.

Dr. Keir then uses a special camera to look inside your ear, before proceeding to remove any excess earwax.

The sound of the earwax removal device can take a little getting used to if it’s your first time. Dr.Keir will show you beforehand so you know what to expect. Having something in your ear can feel odd, but it shouldn’t hurt.
