Ear Wax Removal Gravesend

About our Ear Wax Removal in Gravesend

As a leading network of high-quality audiology clinics throughout the southeast, Regain Hearing offers a full suite of ear health treatments and tests at our Gravesend practice, including gentle, innovative and safe microsuction to remove excess ear wax from your ears.

Microsuction is suited for even the most sensitive ears, with no pain or mess. It provides the advantage of a fast procedure that uses an advanced, tiny tool to create a delicate suction movement to extract ear wax without physical contact with the inner ear.

Clients often find that the removal of ear wax blockages results in instant improvements in their comfort and hearing, with the procedure concluded within one appointment.

Signs That Microsuction Ear Wax Removal Would Be Beneficial

It is common for ear wax to accumulate over time, and in a large proportion of cases, issues with your hearing or ears are simply down to a blockage or impacted ear wax, where this creates a barrier that prevents you from hearing noises correctly.

Ear wax can also increase the risk of developing a painful ear infection and is frequently mistaken for hearing loss. In clients with reduced hearing, ear wax can equally worsen their symptoms and reduce the sounds, pitches, and frequencies they can hear comfortably.

The following signs all indicate that a microsuction appointment would provide a great improvement in your hearing and ear health, whether you’d like one or both ears to be treated:

  • Variations in your normal hearing, such as feeling like your hearing is muffled on one side or that your ability to hear has changed.
  • Feeling dizzy, disoriented or unbalanced – also known as vertigo and spatial disorientation.
  • Pain, soreness and irritation within your ears.
  • Persistent earaches, odours or discharge.
  • An ongoing cough without any irritation to your chest or lungs.

Before we proceed with your microsuction ear wax removal, we’ll use our clinical equipment to check your ears first. This helps us verify whether there is indeed a build-up of ear wax, where this is located, and whether there are signs of other issues, such as an infection.

Should there be an identifiable cause of the ear wax, we’ll talk this through to suggest the best treatments or options to return your ears and hearing to health following the removal of the ear wax that is causing or contributing to the issue.

What to Expect At Your Appointment

Microsuction works remarkably quickly, with a complete treatment taking as little as 30 minutes. The process itself is pain-free, with an occasional sensation of pressure as the small suction device removes ear wax from all parts of the ear.

During an ear wax removal appointment, you can expect:

  1. A private, confidential chat with your audiologist to discuss your symptoms and concerns and assess your inner ears with a small camera that enables us to identify the problem and verify where there is a build-up of ear wax.
  2. Gentle microsuction, without any water, fluids, mess, or residues—you can resume your normal routine immediately after your ear wax removal.
  3. Advice about any further treatments or therapies we might suggest, normally if there is a cause or reason for the build-up of ear wax that you can take action to prevent it from recurring.

As part of our commitment to client satisfaction, we offer complimentary follow-up appointments if necessary to ensure you are entirely happy with the removal of your ear wax.

Why Microsuction?

Ear wax removal is a straightforward and effective solution for a wide array of hearing and ear health concerns. It is also faster and far gentler than traditional solutions.

Microsuction is highly preferable due to several factors:

  • Safety: The small device used during a microsuction treatment is appropriate for sensitive ears and clients with irritation since it never makes contact with your ear canal and uses a gentle suction function to remove the wax.
  • Effectiveness: Most clients see 100% success, with no residual ear wax—this takes just half an hour, even for more complex ear wax blockages.
  • Convenience: Microsuction does not involve any liquids, which prevents the typical mess associated with ear syringing.

Further information about microsuction and ear and hearing health treatments available at our Gravesend practice can be obtained at any time by contacting your local branch. You can also schedule your ear wax removal appointment through our user-friendly booking form at your convenience.

Is Having Ear Wax Removed Painful?

Microsuction ear wax removal is entirely comfortable, and we will talk you through the process one step at a time, share our findings from a video otoscopy of your ear, and ensure you are relaxed and happy to proceed.

Syringing has long been a conventional method of ear wax removal, where a practitioner injects water directly into the ear, which can flush away any ear wax. 

The problems with syringing include excessive mess and residues, discomfort and potential pain, and the possibility of causing injuries to some of the inner workings of your ear.

Our preferred microsuction technique is proven to be effective. It removes almost 100% of ear wax and is gentle, without any need to touch or impact the ear canal and without the use of water.

Ear wax is connected to a wide array of hearing and ear health concerns, and if you either have tinnitus or have suspected tinnitus, it is common to find that blockages, excess ear wax and inflammation in your ears are making your symptoms worse or creating noises that replicate those of tinnitus.

Microsuction, performed by a qualified, experienced audiologist, is undoubtedly the fastest and lowest-risk way to deal with problematic ear wax. It should be performed alongside an examination of your ear to ensure any contributing causes, such as an ear infection, are identified and treated.

We advise against using any DIY or over-the-counter ear wax removal method. All too often, these methods push the wax further into the delicate ear canal, which can exacerbate the problem.
