What To Expect From a Microsuction Appointment With Us

We aim to make ear wax removal as straightforward as possible for our patients. When you choose MyHealthcare Clinic for microsuction, here’s what you can expect from your appointment: 

  • Be Welcomed By Our Clinic: When you arrive at your chosen clinic, our friendly staff will give you a warm welcome and make sure your details are recorded accurately.
  • Ear Examination: During your appointment, your doctor or nurse will thoroughly inspect both ears using an otoscope to look for any wax.
  • Ear Wax Removal: If wax is found and you give your consent, your doctor or nurse will gently remove the wax using microsuction. 
  • Final Checks: Once your ear wax has been removed, your clinician will do one last check of your ears and then discharge you. 

 

How To Prepare For Your Ear Wax Removal Appointment

For at least 7 days before your appointment, it is important to soften your ear wax; otherwise, the procedure will not be able to be carried out. This ensures the removal of your ear wax is as comfortable and painless as possible. 

To soften your ear wax, you can:

  • Use olive oil.
  • Use Earol ear spray.
  • Use over-the-counter ear drops.

FAQs

What is microsuction?

Microsuction is a simple, safe and painless procedure of removing ear wax from the ear canal using a small vacuum tube.

Is microsuction painful? What does it feel like?

Microsuction is a quick, safe and painless treatment. During the procedure, you might feel a slight pulling or tickling sensation and will hear a loud vacuum-like sound. 

For most people, microsuction is not a painful procedure, though some people might find it slightly noisy and uncomfortable.  

What’s the difference between microsuction and ear syringing?

Microsuction uses a gentle vacuum to remove ear wax without any water. Ear syringing (or irrigation) uses a pressurised flow of water to flush wax out of the ear canal instead.

Microsuction is generally considered the safer and more comfortable method of earwax removal.  

How do I know if I have wax in my ears?

You may be experiencing earache, itchiness, ear infections, hearing loss, tinnitus, or dizziness.

If you are unsure, please book a nurse or GP consultation with one of our team who will be able to give you an ear check-up and advise.

What should I expect at my appointment?

The ear care and ear cleaning appointment will take around 20 minutes. Both ears will be examined prior to any ear wax removal by our clinical team. Our team will go through the procedure and ask you to sign a consent form.

The ear wax will be removed safely and gently, protecting the eardrum. The clinician will check your ears after the wax has been removed and then discharge you.

Is it painful?

It is a quick, safe and painless treatment.

What causes ear wax to build up?

Ear wax can build up in our ears due to the use of ear plugs, hearing aids, regular use of cotton buds to clean the ears, natural excessive ear wax production, getting older, producing hard/dry wax, or change in the shape of the ear canal.

How long does a microsuction appointment take?

An ear cleaning appointment should take around 20 minutes to complete. This includes examination of both ears and earwax removal. 

How much does earwax removal cost in London?

At MyHealthcare Clinic, the price of an earwax appointment in London depends on the type of appointment you have booked. Our fees differ for nurse appointments and doctor appointments:

  • Nurse appointments: £55 for 1 or 2 ears.
  • Doctor appointments: £95 for 1 or 2 ears. 

If we don’t find any earwax during your appointment,  we charge £25 for a nurse appointment and £50 for a doctor appointment.

Can I book a microsuction appointment for my child?

Children over the age of 12 can be booked in for a microsuction appointment. However, they must be booked in for an appointment with a GP.

Do all of your London clinics offer earwax removal?

No, only our Fulham clinic offers microsuction appointments.

Do I have to be a member to book a microsuction appointment at a London MyHealthcare clinic?

No. While most patients choose to join one of our membership plans, we also welcome non-members to use our services. Non-members are required to pay in line with our fees guide.
