Earwax, or cerumen, is a natural, protective substance made from oily secretions, sweat, and dead skin cells that lubricates the ear canal, traps dust and debris, and helps prevent infection.
The safest and most effective method is micro-suction earwax removal, which we offer at our Leighton Buzzard clinic. It involves using a gentle suction device and a microscope to precisely remove wax without the use of water, making it suitable for sensitive ears.
No – micro suction is a pain-free procedure for most people. You might feel a mild suction or hear some noise during the process, but it’s generally quick and comfortable. If your ears are particularly sensitive or the wax is impacted, you may feel slight discomfort, but this is rare.
Signs of earwax build-up include muffled hearing, a blocked sensation in the ear, tinnitus (ringing), dizziness, or even mild earache. If you’re unsure, our earwax practitioner will examine your ears before proceeding with any treatment.
Yes, in most cases. Micro suction is especially ideal for people who have had ear surgery, perforated eardrums, or chronic ear infections, as it doesn’t use water. If there’s any reason it’s not suitable for you, our earwax practitioner will advise on the best alternative.
To make the procedure more comfortable and effective, it's essential to soften the wax beforehand. We recommend using olive oil spray in your ear two to three times a day for between five to seven days before your appointment. For really hard stubborn wax we may recommend sodium bicarbonate ear drops.
