Hearing Screening
Following your ear health check and microsuction (if needed), we offer a FREE hearing screening to help identify any signs of hearing weakness. This isn't a diagnostic test, but it does give valuable insight into your hearing health.
Enjoy Peace of Mind if no weaknesses are identified. - If a weakness is highlighted, we'll guide you through your next steps - whether that's seeing your GP, choice of private Audiologist/ENT specialist, or connecting you with a trusted audiologist via the Tympa referral system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ear microsuction?
Ear microsuction is a professional and safe method of earwax removal that uses a gentle suction device to clear earwax and debris from the ear canal without the use of water or irrigation.
How often should I have ear microsuction?
It is important to remember that wax has a purpose and it is healthy.
The frequency of ear microsuction depends on individual needs. Some people may require it occasionally, while others with chronic wax buildup might need more regular sessions. Your practitioner can advise on the best schedule for you.
Who can benefit from ear microsuction?
Anyone experiencing earwax buildup, hearing difficulties due to wax, or discomfort in the ear canal can benefit from ear microsuction. It is especially helpful for people who have sensitive ears or medical conditions that make irrigation unsuitable.
Does ear microsuction hurt?
Ear microsuction is generally painless. Some people may feel a slight tickling or suction sensation, but the procedure is usually comfortable and quick.
Can ear microsuction be performed on children?
Unfortunately, we are only trained to safely complete ear microsuction on Adults 18 and over. However, we are able to conduct a full ear health check (otoscopy) on children from the age of 6years.
Is ear microsuction safe?
Yes, ear microsuction is considered very safe when performed by trained professionals. It is a cleaner and less invasive method compared to irrigation, minimizing discomfort and avoiding the introduction of water into the ear.
How long does an ear microsuction session take?
A typical ear microsuction session takes about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the amount of wax and the condition of the ear. We would recommend blocking out up to 45 minutes just to be on the safe side, particularly if you are also hoping to have the hearing screening.
How is ear microsuction different from traditional ear irrigation?
Unlike traditional ear irrigation, which uses water to flush out earwax, ear microsuction uses a suction device to remove wax gently, reducing the risk of irritation or infection and is suitable for people with certain ear conditions.
What are the risks?
The Ear is the most sensitive part of the body, therefore only trained professionals shout be performing Otoscopy and Microsuction. Although risks are rare, they are a possibility. The 3 common risks to be aware of are:
1. There may be the need for a second appointment if we are unable to remove all of the wax at your first appointment
2. Hard and particularly 'old' wax can become adhered to the canal wall, therefore there is a small chance a slight nick/abrasion may occur. If this happens, I will let you know and give you after care advice and we will monitor it
3. This only applies to those with Tinnitus - the noise from the suction unit may make you more aware of the related symptoms. However, this should settle within a few days
