- Earache or discomfort.
- Tinnitus (ringing in the ears).
Contributing factors may include age, narrow ear canals, hearing aids, frequent earphone use, or exposure to loud sounds.

Why Choose Microsuction Earwax Removal?
Microsuction is considered the safest and most reliable method for earwax removal. Unlike syringing, which uses water, microsuction employs a gentle suction device under direct microscopic guidance.
Key benefits of microsuction earwax removal:
- Quick – usually complete in 30 minutes.
- Safe – suitable for patients with perforated eardrums or infections.
- Comfortable – minimal discomfort, no mess.
- Precise – performed under direct observation.
Safety and Comfort First
Your ear health deserves careful attention. That’s why our clinicians follow strict hygiene standards and use state-of-the-art equipment for every appointment. We never use water-based syringing, reducing the risk of dizziness, ear infections, or discomfort.
