Microsuction
Microsuction with Ear Care Lincs
In addition to the consultation process, microsuction is available for those who are aware of a wax build-up or are prone to the over-production of earwax.
What Can I Expect?
Your appointment will begin with a consultation and examination to fully understand your symptoms and any issues you have been facing with your hearing. If the presence of a wax build-up is identified and microsuction is right for you, we will move into the removal procedure.
The procedure is completed using a specialist vacuum machine with a fine-ended tip which is inserted into the ear canal. This machine is able to dislodge and remove earwax in a safe, sanitary, and painless manner.
Each ear and build-up is different, so we encourage you to make at least 45 minutes available within your day to create a relaxed environment free of wider commitments.
The only requirement is that you are able to remain still throughout the procedure to maintain safety. As long as this can be done, microsuction is an enjoyable, satisfying, and liberating procedure that will instantly improve your quality of life and connect you closer to the world and people around you.
Post-procedure, we will reflect on your previous symptoms to ensure these are now relieved. Any relevant aftercare advice will be given before continuing your day in high fidelity!
How You Can Prepare For Your Appointment
-If you are under 18, ensure you have a legal parent or guardian in attendance for the duration of the appointment.
-You will be required to answer a number of questions regarding your hearing-related symptoms and wider health.
-Please ensure you have made 45 minutes available around your appointment regardless of the procedure necessary. While all appointments should 30 minutes, this helps to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, free from external commitments.
Olive Oil
-If you are aware of a wax blockage and have booked a removal procedure, it is highly beneficial to instill of olive oil or Earol spray into the ear canal, before bedtime, in the days prior to your appointment.
3 drops, 3 times a day, for 3 days.
The properties of olive oil soften the earwax and make extraction quicker, easier, and more comfortable - avoiding the need for a potential secondary appointment.
Note: DO NOT use olive oil if you are aware of or suspect an eardrum perforation (tear or hole in the eardrum)
Please do not hesitate to CALL ahead of your appointment with any questions or queries you may have.
