Microsuction is an extremely safe and effective method for the removal of ear wax. Following an assessment of your ear canal at our Norwich clinic the wax can be removed by a suction unit swiftly and safely.
Ear wax is a perfectly normal protective response from your ears. It helps to remove skin cells, dust and debris from the ear canal. However a build up of ear wax can lead to discomfort and reduced hearing. People with hearing aids may find the build up of wax is greater due to the natural blocking of the ear canal.
All treatments are carried out by a qualified nurse trained in the Tympa system for ear assessments and micro suction for the removal of ear wax and at our Norwich clinic. We do not simply remove your ear wax but give an assessment and hearing screening for each of our patients too. The tympa system allows us to refer immediately for advice and guidance from the ear nose and throat team should it be necessary, allows us to take realtime video and pictures of your ear and can refer to an appropriate service if required.
We charge £55 for a 30 minute appointment which will include an assessment of your ear canal and removal of ear wax for one or two ears. If for any reason we are unable to remove the wax at the first appointment your 2nd visit will be at 50% discount.
