How Microsuction Ear wax removal Works
Micro suction is made up of two words: “Micro” refers to the operating microscopes that can either be large floor standing units, or can be incorporated into glasses, in whch case they are known as operating loupes.
“Suction” refers to the medical suction pump that is attached to a tube and a 2 millimetre suction wand, which is used to suction the wax from your ear. Micro suction requires a good knowledge of the anatomy of the ear, along with training in how to safely use the equipment.

FAQ
General Questions
Yes, professional ear wax removal is significantly safer and more effective than attempting to remove wax yourself using cotton buds or other household objects. Although many people believe cotton buds help clean the ears, they often push wax deeper into the ear canal, compacting it against the eardrum and making it more difficult to remove.
Using hairpins, keys, or other objects can also scratch the delicate lining of the ear canal and increase the risk of infection or injury. Ear candling is another method that has become popular in some circles, but there is little scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness, and it may pose unnecessary risks.
Cleaner Ears uses professional techniques designed specifically for safe ear wax removal. Before treatment begins, we carefully assess the condition of your ears and recommend the most suitable method for your circumstances. Patients frequently experience immediate relief and a noticeable improvement in hearing after treatment. Choosing professional care provides reassurance that your ears are being treated safely by experienced clinicians.
The frequency of ear wax removal varies considerably from person to person. Some individuals may never require professional treatment, while others naturally produce excessive amounts of wax and benefit from routine maintenance appointments every six to twelve months.
People who wear hearing aids, use earplugs regularly, have narrow ear canals, or have certain skin conditions affecting the ears may be more prone to recurring wax build-up. As hearing aids can sometimes prevent the natural migration of wax out of the ear canal, regular ear examinations become especially important for hearing aid users.
Rather than following a strict timetable, Cleaner Ears recommends seeking professional advice whenever symptoms develop. We can also advise whether regular maintenance appointments would be beneficial based on your medical history, lifestyle, and previous experiences with ear wax accumulation.
Modern hearing aids are far more sophisticated than many people realise. Today's devices are discreet, comfortable, and equipped with advanced technology designed to improve speech understanding and overall listening experiences.
Cleaner Ears offers a range of hearing aid styles to accommodate different levels of hearing loss and individual preferences. These may include behind-the-ear devices, receiver-in-canal models, in-the-ear devices, and smaller custom-made options designed to fit discreetly within the ear canal.
Many modern hearing aids feature automatic adjustments that adapt to changing listening environments, helping users hear clearly whether they are in a quiet room, busy restaurant, family gathering, or workplace meeting. Additional features may include rechargeable batteries, Bluetooth connectivity, smartphone applications, direct streaming of phone calls and media, and tinnitus support programmes.
Our hearing specialists take the time to understand your lifestyle and communication needs before recommending a suitable hearing aid solution tailored specifically to you.
Hearing loss often develops gradually, making it difficult for individuals to recognise how much their hearing has changed over time. Many people adapt subconsciously by lip-reading, avoiding noisy environments, or asking others to repeat themselves more frequently.
Common signs that you may benefit from hearing aids include difficulty following conversations, particularly in groups or noisy settings, misunderstanding words, asking people to repeat themselves regularly, increasing the television volume beyond what others find comfortable, struggling to hear on the telephone, or withdrawing from social activities because communication has become challenging.
A comprehensive hearing assessment can determine whether hearing aids would improve your hearing ability and quality of life. The assessment is painless and provides valuable information about the type and degree of hearing loss present.
At Cleaner Ears, we believe patients should receive honest, pressure-free advice. If hearing aids are recommended, we explain your options thoroughly so you can make an informed decision that best suits your needs.
Yes. Excessive ear wax can have a significant impact on the performance of hearing aids. Wax may block receivers, microphones, or tubing, causing reduced sound quality, intermittent functioning, distortion, or whistling noises known as feedback.
Because hearing aids sit within or behind the ear, they can sometimes alter the natural movement of wax out of the ear canal, increasing the likelihood of wax build-up in susceptible individuals. Regular ear examinations and proper hearing aid maintenance are therefore extremely important.
If you notice sudden changes in hearing aid performance, Cleaner Ears can examine both your ears and your hearing devices to determine whether wax accumulation is contributing to the problem. Professional wax removal and routine maintenance can help ensure your hearing aids continue to perform effectively.

Why Choose Us
Ear wax (cerumen) is naturally occurring in our ears. It is designed to protect our ears against foreign bodies and infection with its antibacterial and lubricating properties.
Those who wear hearing aids, have anatomically narrower or hairier ear canals, or who use cotton buds are more likely to produce a larger volume of wax.
They may require ear wax removal services more often than others. Symptoms like ear pain, dizziness or hearing loss can be indicative of a blockage in the ear due to excess wax.
Since the ears are so sensitive, they require careful attention throughout any ear cleaning procedure.
There are many options for ear wax removal in Harrow, Ruislip, Wembley, Hampstead and Hayes, but microsuction is the safest, most hygienic, and effective of these methods.
Ear cleaning techniques include microsuction, irrigation, candling, syringing and manual instrument extraction.
Microsuction is regarded so highly for ear wax removal because it offers a reduced risk of damage to the eardrum.
It involves a finely-calibrated suction device, akin to a small vacuum cleaner, and a microscope to ensure a clear view of the anatomical structures of the ear.
