What is Ear Wax Removal (Both Ears)?

Microsuction uses gentle suction under direct vision to remove wax. Nothing is syringed or flushed into the ear, which is why it suits people with a perforation or a history of ear problems.

Both ears take longer than one, which is why this is booked as a thirty minute slot. Softening drops for a few days beforehand usually make the appointment quicker and more comfortable.
