What is the process for microsuction ear wax removal Bexleyheath?
Microsuction ear cleaning is a technique that uses a high magnification microscope to identify blockages and remove them using a steel fitting suction pipe.
During the procedure in our Bexleyheath clinic, our specialist doctor will examine the ear canal using a binaural microscope. This will identify the ear wax, which is then gently dislodged and removed with the vacuum. It is a quick and effective procedure for ear wax removal, usually taking only a few minutes to complete. Most people experience no pain or discomfort during this service, just a slight tickling sensation, meaning if you work or live in Bexleyheath your day will be minimally affected.

Ear Wax Microsuction FAQ
Ear microsuction entails the use of a gentle vacuum machine to leave the ear free of wax. A microscope allows us to see clearly into the ear to carry out the procedure. The end results for the patient are better hearing and cleaner ears.
At our specialist ear wax clinic near Bexleyheath, a suction device is used to remove the earwax under a microscope. A small, thin wand is placed inside the ear canal to carefully suction the wax away.
Microsuction should not cause any pain or discomfort. However, due to the sensitive nature of the ear canal, extra care is taken to avoid touching the surface so as to prevent discomfort. No anaesthetic or analgesia is generally used to perform the procedure. The suction can sound relatively noisy. If you have an ear infection or inflammation in the ear canal, the procedure may be slightly uncomfortable.
If you come and visit our clinic near Bexleyheath, we’ll conduct a very quick procedure and usually only takes around 15 to 30 minutes to complete.
No preparation is required for micro-suction to be performed.
The only preparation you need to make is to check your route to get to our clinic as we are located outside of Bexleyheath, in Welling.
However, it is recommended to use olive oil based ear drops for a couple of days before the procedure to soften the wax. If you have an ear infection (external or internal) it is recommended to have this treated by a GP before micro-suction as these conditions can make the procedure uncomfortable. Alternatively, the ear canal can be suctioned to help clear up the infection.
A General Practitioner (GP) is unlikely to perform micro-suction and will most often refer you to a Pharmacist, ENT or Audiologist, all of whom are qualified to perform the procedure. You can make an appointment directly with us and we should be able to accommodate you within a day or two. Or simply walk in to our clinic and we should be able to carry out the procedure right away.
The cost for the procedure is £40 for one ear and £60 for both ears.
An otoscopic examination is performed before microsuction, which provides video of the inner ear and will detect a wax build-up. If no wax is found, the procedure will not be performed. However, if wax is present, the procedure will go ahead.
The procedure is considered to be entirely safe although, as per any medical procedure, there are some risks associated with micro-suction. Some dizziness may occur for a short time after micro-suction. Tinnitus may result from the procedure but should dissipate naturally. Damage to the ear canal is very rare.
If the ear has healed entirely post surgery, micro-suction is entirely safe for patients who have had ear surgery in the past.
Wax is constantly created by the ears and can build-up in the ear canal again. Micro-suction can be performed as often as necessary to remove excess ear wax, so come and visit our Bexleyheath Ear Wax Clinic today.
Experts have a clear view on Microsuction. Based on studies, it is the safest method of ear wax removal, resulting in the lowest risk of complications.
No procedure is 100% risk free, but Microsuction offers clear advantages over ear irrigation:
- For tympanic membrane (eardrum) perforation, microsuction is recommended
- if the ear has an infection of the external or middle ear, microsuction is the only technique safe to perform wax or debris removal;
- microsuction is a more comfortable process, completed in only a few minutes;
- no liquids used during the process;
- no ear drops or pre-treatment required
- pain free
