EAR WAX REMOVAL

How We Work

How We Remove Earwax

Endoscopic microsuction

The safest and cleanest way to remove ear wax from moderately blocked ears is the microsuction method. A probe is gently inserted then connected to a vacuum pump to suction out the excess wax from the ear canal.

Water Irrigation

This is safer, gentler and more effective technology than the old “syringing” method.
With water irrigation, body temperature (37°C) water is used to flush debris out of the ear canal at a low pressure.
It’s ideal for removing larger quantities of ear wax.

Manual Removal

If you only have a small amount of ear wax that’s built up near the entrance of your ear canal, manual removal is the best option. For this, a variety of tools may be used to safely remove wax from the ear canal.

Our Vision

At the Ear Wax Specialist, we pride ourselves on providing exemplary customer care and satisfaction and use the latest state-of-the-art equipment in helping our patients with their ear-related issues.
