Microsuction Ear Wax Removal in London
Microsuction is a method of removing earwax using gentle suction under direct visual guidance. Unlike ear irrigation, microsuction does not require water to be introduced into the ear.
Before treatment, the ear is examined using an otoscope to assess the ear canal and determine whether microsuction is appropriate. If treatment is suitable, the wax is removed under direct visual guidance.
Microsuction may be suitable for people experiencing blocked ears, muffled hearing, itching or discomfort caused by excess earwax. Your clinician will assess your ears before treatment and advise you on the most appropriate approach.
What Are the Symptoms of Ear Wax Build-Up?
Excess or impacted earwax can cause several symptoms. These may include:
- Blocked or full feeling in the ear
- Muffled or reduced hearing
- Itching
- Ear discomfort
- Tinnitus or ringing
These symptoms can also have other causes, so an ear examination can help determine whether earwax is responsible.
Our Ear Wax Removal Process
1. Book an Appointment
Choose a convenient appointment time at our Barbican clinic. If you're unsure whether earwax is causing your symptoms, our team can advise you on the most appropriate next step.
2. Patient History and Ear Assessment
Before treatment, we'll ask about your ear health, symptoms and any relevant medical history. This helps our clinician determine whether microsuction is appropriate.
3. Ear Examination
Your ears will be examined using an otoscope so the clinician can assess the ear canal and eardrum and identify any visible wax or other concerns.
4. Microsuction Ear Wax Removal
Where appropriate, the clinician uses a medical microsuction device to carefully remove the earwax. The procedure is performed under direct visual guidance.
5. Free Follow-Up
If the wax is particularly hard or cannot be completely removed during the appointment, you'll be advised about the next steps, which may include using ear drops and returning for another appointment.

When Should You Consider Ear Wax Removal?
You may want to have your ears checked if you are experiencing a blocked or full feeling, muffled hearing, itching, discomfort or tinnitus.
Earwax is not always the cause of these symptoms, so an examination can help determine whether excess wax is present and whether microsuction is appropriate.
How Often Should I Remove Earwax?
There is no set frequency for ear wax removal. Some people rarely need treatment, while others may experience recurring earwax build-up.
If you regularly experience blocked ears or recurring earwax build-up, an examination can help determine the most appropriate next step.
What Can Happen When Ear Wax Builds Up?
When excess earwax becomes impacted, it can sometimes cause:
- A blocked sensation in the ear
- Reduced or muffled hearing
- Itching or discomfort
- Tinnitus
Persistent or significant symptoms should be assessed because they may have causes other than earwax. An examination can help determine whether wax removal is appropriate.
