What is
ear wax?
Ear wax isn’t something we usually give much thought to until it starts to cause us problems. It’s a versatile substance that is naturally formed by the glands in the outer ear canal. Ear wax is very important for your ear health and serves as a protective layer against dirt, debris, and bacteria.
Without ear wax and the fine hairs in your ears, dust and other foreign bodies could end up getting into your ear canals and damaging your eardrum. Ear wax also helps prevent ear infections and moisturises the inside of your ears.

Frequently asked questions
Ear microsuction is a simple process which entails the use of a gentle vacuum machine to leave the ear dry and free of wax. The end results for the patient are better hearing and cleaner ears.
Most of the time, our ears keep themselves clean and free of dust and debris, but there are occasions when it doesn’t happen, your age or a possible infection might cause a build up. If you have a wax build-up, an infection or some unwanted debris in the ear, our pharmacists may decide the best way to make things right is via ear microsuction.
In general the procedure isn’t painful at all, although it can be somewhat noisy. The skin inside the ear canal is sensitive so it’s important to stay still when asked to do so.
Because the process is carried out with the help of a powerful microscope, more wax and other debris can be reached and removed. The procedure tends to be quicker and more comfortable than other forms of wax removal. The main benefit after is usually a significant improvement in hearing.
Many people choose to have an ear microsuction procedure on a regular basis to keep their ears cleaned, although the regularity always depends on the individual needs of the patient. Some choose to undergo microsuction every three months while others may do so once a year.
