For blocked, waxy or infected ears: Ear microsuction. The modern safe way to clean ear canals.
Microsuction – is the term used for cleaning ear canals using the magnified view of a surgical microscope and a tiny vacuum cleaner and/or tiny instruments.
What are the benefits?
Because we can see so well with the magnified vision, we can then remove wax/debris without touching the ear canal walls – hence a comfortable, safe procedure. The magnified views allow the Ear Nurse Therapist to assess the ear canal andeardrum to make a diagnosis.
Who may need microsuction?
Earwax, also known by the medical term cerumen, is a yellowish waxy substance secreted in the ear canal of humans and other mammals. It protects the skin of the human ear canal, assists in cleaning and lubrication, and also provides some protection from bacteria, fungi, insects and water. Excess or compacted cerumen can press against the eardrum and/or occlude (block) the external auditory canal or hearing aids, potentially hindering hearing.
Ear wax is leading to blocked ears and hearing loss. Before any of these could happen, a fullness discomfort is common. According to the statistics, the chances of wax accumulating are increased by the use of external objects in the ear canal- Hearing Aids and Cotton Buds are the first 2 places.
