Types of Earwax Removal
Microsuction
Microsuction is the most popular method of Earwax Removal, as it is quick, safe, and requires less preparation. During this specialist procedure, a certified practitioner uses a suction device and a microscope to remove built-up earwax.
This procedure is performed without water for minimal mess.
Water Irrigation
Water Irrigation is a another common Earwax Removal method that is quick and safe for most individuals. During this specialist procedure, a certified practitioner uses an electric ear irrigation machine to gently spray warm water into the ear canal at a controlled and steady rate to flush out excess wax.
This method is ideal if earwax is deeper in the ear or compacted.
Aural Toilet
Aural Toilet is the most straightforward Earwax Removal method, as it's most commonly used when the earwax is close to the entrance of the ear. During this specialist procedure, a certified practitioner will use an instrument like a Jobson Horne probe or fine calipers to capture the wax and gently remove it.
This method is ideal in minor cases or for individuals with tinnitus, as there is no noise during the procedure.
