Struggling with blocked ears and muffled hearing discomfort, our ear technicians are here to help you. Comfortable, safe and simple gold standard microsuction technology carried out by our highly trained professionals you can trust in Bristol.
Microsuction is a process carried out by our accredited ear health technicians using specialist gold standard technology. We examine your ear canal using a high-definition micro camera, then gently remove the wax using a simple suction device in a single appointment (typically around 30 minutes).

Gold-standard microsuction technology.
Use of a digital micro camera system (video/photography) so we can have a photographic record to capture and review your ear health.
You might need earwax removal if you experience:
Hearing loss or muffled hearing
Feeling of blocked ears
Earache, itching or discharge
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Loss of balance or dizziness
People more commonly affected include:
Those who wear hearing aids
Use ear-plugs or
Use earphones frequently
Clean their ears with cotton buds (which often pushes wax further in).
Booking & Pre-Prep
You can book an appointment online or by phone. Five days prior to your appointment we advise you to use a softening oil (Over the counter olive oil ear-drops) twice daily in the affected ear(s) to make removal easier.
Examination
On arrival your ear health technician will explain the process, ask about your ear health, and examine your ear using the micro camera system.
Microsuction Removal
Using the camera view, plus the microsuction tool, wax is gently removed - the treatment is usually painless though you might feel slight sensitivity. The appointment is around 30 minutes.
Follow-up & Aftercare
More often than not you’ll feel immediate relief from symptoms. If for any reason not all wax can be removed in one appointment, you may be asked to return after another short oil-softening period. If wax isn’t the cause of your symptoms, we’ll refer or write to your local pharmacist or GP/ENT specialist.
Immediate improvement in hearing clarity once the blockage is cleared
Relief from other troublesome symptoms like tinnitus or dizziness caused by wax-impaction
Safe and effective: the camera system allows direct vision so the procedure is more controlled than older methods like syringing
