Microsuction is a modern, clinically recognised method of ear wax removal that allows wax to be removed with precision and control. Using specialist suction equipment, wax is cleared gently without the use of water, making this method particularly suitable for sensitive ears and patients who require a more controlled approach.
Ear irrigation is a carefully managed warm-water technique used to remove softer wax where clinically appropriate. After a detailed examination of your ears, Sam will advise whether irrigation is the most suitable and safe option for your individual ear health.
For patients who prefer treatment at home, Sam offers a professional mobile ear wax removal service across Cardiff and surrounding areas. This service provides the same high standard of clinical care as a clinic appointment, delivered in a familiar and comfortable environment.
Ideal for patients with limited mobility or busy schedules
Ear wax (cerumen) is a natural substance that protects the ear by trapping dust and bacteria and keeping the ear canal lubricated
This can occur due to narrow canals, overproduction of wax, aging, wearing hearing aids or ear plugs. It can also build up with cotton bud use which pushes wax deeper into the ear canal
Reduced or muffled hearing
Discomfort or earache
Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
Dizziness
A feeling or pressure or fullness in the ear
Itchy ears
* Microsuction- a gentle vacuum using a microscope to gently remove wax from your ear canal
* Irrigation- a controlled pressure of warm water to flush the wax from your ear
Yes, ear wax removal is safe when performed by a trained professional. Microsuction is widely regarded as the safest method.

Are there any side effects?

Post Microsuction
* Minimise water exposure for 2-3 days post procedure to reduce the risk of infection
Post Irrigation

* For patients who use hearing devices, wait 3 hours post procedure before re-fitting your device
