Micro-suction is far less evasive than other methods such as ear syringing, however there is always a risk of discomfort or pain during the procedure.

Due to our Audiologists delicate nature and years of experience many clients have commented on his ability to help them feel at ease during the process.

At any time of discomfort or pain we always ask that you say immediately or raise your hand as a sign to stop.

For home visits specifically, If there is no wax present upon examination in the ear(s) we do charge a £25 call out fee, which helps cover our travel expenses, time and equipment used to check the ears.

We do not charge for a recall where required unless deemed to be without justified reason.

The procedure can take anywhere between 1-15 minutes per ear.

We explain step by step how to best feel comfortable during the procedure and will consistently check to see how you feel, during and after the process.

There is a possibility that not all wax will be completely removed from the ear in the first session.

This can be due to the texture of wax, narrowness of an ear canal, position of where the wax is located (deep in the ear canal) and in some cases the clients ability to not remain comfortable during the wax removal.

Throughout the consultation(s) we ensure to keep to best practice, informing and protecting our clients.

Wax build-up depends on a number of factors. Experience has taught that after wax removal, the earliest wax can build up tends to be after a 3 month period.

With regular build up, we recommend ideally having your ears checked for wax at least once a year to avoid a complete ear wax blockage.
