Hands-On Practical Microsuction Training

During the practical day, you start with otoscopy and safe handling of microsuction equipment on training heads. 

You then progress to supervised practice with real patients who have been appropriately selected and consented, allowing exposure to different wax textures and ear canal anatomy within a controlled learning environment.

The trainer will demonstrate positioning, depth awareness, and controlled movement. You will learn how to stop immediately if discomfort increases or the view inside the ear canal is compromised. You will practise on several supervised cases and receive feedback before sign off.

  1. Ear anatomy and physiology
  2. Types of wax, causes of blockages , and when microsuction is suitable or unsuitable.
  3. History taking, consent, record keeping and medico legal duty in ear care clinics.
  4. Red flags and contraindications with guidance on when to stop and refer to ENT or urgent support.
  5. Prevention of infection, personal protective equipment, decontamination, room preparation for routine micro suction clinics.
  6. Risk management, including potential microsuction complications, early recognition of adverse signs, and appropriate steps to stop procedures and escalate care or refer where required.
  7. Clinical governance, integration into existing services and handling referrals or follow up plans.
Our training course is CPD accredited. Successful learners receive a Certificate of Training in Microsuction Ear Wax Removal confirming completion of supervised training.The combined e-learning and supervised clinical hours can be logged for CPD. Competence is assessed through observed procedures and theory application.

Turning Microsuction Skills Into A New Career

In the UK, the demand for ear microsuction services has been steadily increasing, especially after its removal from the NHS framework in 2018. As a result, more patients are now seeking support from private clinicians, community practitioners, and pharmacies, which have expanded their services to meet this need.

We design this course to assist delegates in confidently setting up and delivering microsuction services within their existing practice. It includes operational aspects, like appointment scheduling, templates for clinical records, documentation needs, and how the service can be incorporated into the hearing care or private clinic environment.

We also offer support after the course has been completed through our clinician WhatsApp group, which provides mentorship support as delegates start delivering the service.

7 Reasons To Choose Ear Wax Specialist
As Your Training Provider?

01

We provide training on microsuction ear wax removal and water irrigation, equipping you with the two core methods in successful ear wax removal.

02

The microsuction course is supported by bespoke online presentations, given to delegates on the day of their training.

03

We can travel to you. If you're unable to reach one of our dedicated training centres, we'll send a regional trainer to your clinic and train the whole team.

04

Multiple training locations and flexible dates to suit you.

05

The course is delivered by experienced microsuction audiologists who see 20,000 ears a year. You can be confident you have the best trainers teaching you.

06

Bespoke one-to-one training. We don't train large groups, because that doesn't give each delegate the time and attention they deserve.

07

Unlike most other providers, you don't just practise on simulation heads with synthetic wax — you also practise on real patients. Every ear canal varies with the case in front of you, so you may perform irrigation, microsuction, or both combined.
