Microsuction Ear Wax Removal

Microsuction is a precise method of removing ear wax using a small medical suction device under direct visual guidance.

Unlike traditional ear syringing, microsuction:

• Does not use water
• Is typically quicker and more comfortable
• Allows the clinician to clearly see inside the ear canal
• Reduces the risk of infection or complications

It is considered one of the safest and most effective methods of ear wax removal.

You may benefit from microsuction if you’re experiencing:

• Blocked or muffled hearing
• Ear discomfort or pressure
• Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
• Dizziness
• Itchy ears
• Hearing aid feedback or malfunction

If you are unsure whether wax is the cause, our team can assess your ears during your appointment.

Your microsuction appointment at Brecken Health Busselton includes:

1. A brief assessment of your symptoms
2. Examination of your ear canal
3. Gentle removal of wax using medical suction
4. Post-procedure check and advice

The procedure usually takes 15–30 minutes. Most patients experience immediate improvement in hearing and comfort.

Some people may feel a mild suction sensation or slight noise during the procedure, but it is generally well tolerated.

In some cases, softening drops may be recommended for a few days prior to your appointment, particularly if the wax is hard or impacted. Our reception team will advise you when booking.

Avoid using cotton buds or inserting objects into your ears, as this can push wax deeper.
