Treatment Method
The typical method to remove ear wax at GP practices is using the Syringing method. However, many GP practices have stopped offering ear syringing due to the contraindications involved. There are several contraindications including:
- Likelihood of the perforation of the Ear Drum.
- Lack of precision as no view of the ear canal during procedure.
- Water being used can more likely result in ear infections.
- Cannot be performed on anyone with perforations, mastoid cavities or foreign bodies in the ear.
The method we use on our clients is Microsuction as it is the “Gold Standard” for the removal of ear wax. This is the same method used by Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialists at hospitals and private clinics. There are several reasons Microsuction is the preferred method of treatment.
- There is a clear view of the ear canal to ensure optimal precision, safety, and effectivity of the wax removal process.
- No water involved minimises chances of developing an ear infection. Anyone with perforations, mastoid cavities or foreign bodies can be treated.
- Pain-free and effective treatment of wax
- Little to no risk of damage to the ear
- Quick procedure – Effective results can be achieved within 30 minutes for both ears.
At ClEar Wax Removal we have invested in the latest and most effective technology as we aim to provide the most optimal service and experience in the whole of Yorkshire!
The device we use is from a well renowned company called Guymark.
The procedure will involve the specialist Audiologist looking into the ear canal through a fixed microscope to locate the wax, so that it can be removed effectively using a thin, very quiet suction.
As we aim to provide an optimal service, we use an additional device alongside our highly effective Microsuction device, as part of the treatment. The device used is called an Endoscopic Otoscope which is also from a well renowned brand. This device works by showing our clients a clear image (HD PIXEL 1080p) of their ear canal on a HD display screen. This is a great way for our clients to see the effectiveness of our treatment method and it promotes patient centred care, which is key to the service we provide.
