Micro-suction Ear Wax Removal

What is microsuction?

‘Micro’ – because we use microscopes, ‘suction’ – because we use a finely calibrated suction device, to vacuum out the wax.

Our microsuction equipment is the best in class. We use Carl Zeiss optics and suction units designed and manufactured by DeVilBiss Healthcare, who are world leaders in the production of medical devices for ear cleaning.

Occasionally, when microsuction alone is not possible, we use a combination of fine instruments and eardrops; for example, in cases of impacted ear wax or foreign body removal.

The procedure will normally take a maximum of 30 minutes. The most you should feel is a gentle pulling sensation as your ear is being cleaned.

Why microsuction ear wax removal?

We only practice microsuction, which is the NHS gold-standard for ear wax removal and is supported by NICE guidance.

We are the UK’s first CQC regulated provider of microsuction for mobile ear wax removal in London.

Unlike ear candling, syringing or irrigation, microsuction ear wax removal has a significantly lower risk of causing damage to your eardrum. This is because the procedure is performed under direct vision and avoids the use of any liquids at high pressure.

Microsuction is also an important part of the treatment of swimmer’s ear, or otitis externa, which can cause discharge and itchy ears.

The ear canal is a highly sensitive structure measuring approximately 7mm in diameter and 25mm in length. With such a small cavity to work in, microsuction above other methods has proven to be safer, cleaner and better tolerated by our patients.

Once the procedure is complete, our patients notice an immediate relief of their symptoms and often an instant improvement in hearing, from the comfort of their home. No more blocked ears!

All about ear wax

Ear wax is the most common cause of blocked ears. Ear wax plays a very important part in protecting your ears; it is a substance that is secreted inside the ear canal and has cleansing, lubricating and antibacterial properties.

Your ears are self-cleaning, but occasionally this mechanism can fail. An excess amount of wax in your ears can lead to a feeling of blocked ears, itching, pain, hearing loss, dizziness and in some cases tinnitus. Cotton buds – often used to relieve irritation or itching – actually push the ear wax further down into the ear and make ear blockage worse. Hearing aids are also a common cause of impacted ear wax.

Auris Ear Care ear wax removal specialists use microsuction, considered to be the safest, cleanest and most efficient method of ear wax removal. The very definition of 21st century ear care: microsuction ear wax removal in London, at a time and place of your choosing with our innovative private mobile ear cleaning service.

Rash

Excellent home visit service, I needed ear wax removal urgently as was going on holiday and an Auris doctor came within hours and restored my hearing! Kind and professional.

Christopher P.

Dr. Riaz was extremely helpful and skilled and was thorough with his work. He was polite and explained the procedure throughout. I had an impacted ear wax problem which he efficiently resolved and treated. Thank you, Dr. Riaz!

Kamy M.

Alex S.

Riaz came to my house and within 30 mins I could hear again. Absolutely amazing and would recommend to anyone experiencing ear pain like I was. I didn’t even have to leave my home which was especially helpful with a toddler! Thank you!

Alex S.

I can’t recommend this company enough. I had problems hearing due to wax on my eardrum and now my hearing is so clear it’s blown my mind.

Jack R.

I was referred to Riaz having had my ears suctioned twice already by another specialist who felt Riaz was better qualified to deal with my ears without causing any damage. He was excellent, came to my house the following day. I had wax that was so built up on my drum the previous specialist didn’t realise it was wax.
Having spent quite some time working on both canals he advised & prescribed what I needed going forward
Couldn’t recommend higher

Gabrielle F.

I’ve had repeated infections for the last few years.

When I felt like I was getting another one, I searched the internet to find a private option for care. Most options around London were either way too expensive or appointments didn’t fit my schedule.

Then I found Auris Ear care online. Within a couple of minutes of putting an enquiry, I was on the phone with Dr Riaz. He was very attentive on the and I got a sense that I would be in good hands.

I was working from home and took 30mins out for the appointment. Dr Riaz arrived on time and explained every step. Following the ear care I’ve been on treatment for the last couple of days and I’m hopeful that I won’t have this problem again.

If you’re looking to get your ears cleared or you’ve had a persistent issue and need a second opinion I highly recommend Auris! Thanks for all your help Dr Riaz!

Zeba I

I had an excellent experience with Dr Riaz. Incredibly professional, thorough, and gentle during the ear cleaning procedure. He took the time to explain everything, making me and my partner feel at ease throughout the process. Hearing feels so much clearer now, and I’m amazed at how quick and painless it was. I highly recommend Dr Riaz to anyone needing ear care, he truly care about his patients well-being.

Sarah O.

Thanks to speedy on the day home visit, my ear infection was solved. So grateful for Dr Riaz and his expertise.

Arthur F.

Dr Riaz removed a piece of plastic that the A & E doctors had not spotted. Very happy with his work and it was all done in the comfort of our home with zero waiting time. Would recommend as a specialist for ears!

How do I keep my ears clean?

Do not self clean with over the counter (OTC) instruments as your ears are self-cleaning. Watch our ear wax removal video to learn more about the microsuction procedure.

How often should I get my ear wax removed?

There is no clinical evidence published on how often you should clean your ears, as the need for ear wax removal varies from person to person. Your ENT doctor will advise suitable scheduling after your first appointment.

Do you offer manual ear wax removal?

Yes. We use wax hooks, crocodile forceps and Jobson Horne probes particularly in patients who have a sensitivity to noise from micro suction ear wax removal procedures.

What happens if I don’t have ear wax?

Our ENT doctor will further investigate the reasons for your appointment. You will be provided with lifestyle advice, prescribed medicine or a referral to one of our recommended specialists (ENT Surgeon, Audiologist, Vestibular Medicine, GP).

Microsuction

Is microsuction ear wax removal painful?

No. Occasionally some people may experience mild sensitivity or discomfort.

I’ve had ear surgery in the past, is microsuction suitable?

Yes. Microsuction is the safest method of ear wax removal for people who have had grommets, tympanoplasty (eardrum repair) and/or mastoidectomy. We also treat patients with narrow ear canals, exostoses or canaloplasty.

Do you offer treatment for otitis externa (swimmers ear)?

Yes. Otitis externa is best treated with microsuction followed by a course of antibiotic or anti-fungal eardrops. Follow up appointments are offered in cases of severe infections, to ensure complete resolution. If your infection is resistant to antibiotics, we will take a microbiology ear swab and send your sample to a laboratory for further investigation.

Will microsuction ear wax removal affect my tinnitus?

If tinnitus is present due to the ear canal being blocked, this is often alleviated when the blockage is cleared with microsuction.

In cases of chronic tinnitus, microsuction can temporarily exacerbate tinnitus for up to 48 hours following treatment.

If you suffer from tinnitus, please notify your clinician at the time of consent.
