Earwax Removal with Microsuction, is it safe?

 

Is Microsuction safe?

in general, ear wax removal by micro-suction is a safe procedure, however, as with any medical procedure, there are things that may go wrong. The risks are as follows:

Damage to or infection of the skin of the ear canal or the eardrum The procedure is noisy and may cause a temporary shift in your hearing thresholds The procedure may start or aggravate any existing tinnitus. The procedure may cause temporary dizziness or discomfort

If the procedure goes on too long, it can reduce the temperature within the ear canal. This can produce dizziness, in some people, it can produce full-on vertigo. In some susceptible people, it can turn into something resembling a scene from the Exorcist. Again, this is a very rare occurrence and most professionals will always try to limit the amount of time that the probe is in the ear canal. 

In essence, there are risks, just as there is with any medical procedure. The professional should do everything to reduce those risks though. The professional should also make sure that you are fully informed of the risks. If you have any other questions, please feel free to get in touch.

Micro suction ear wax removal is undertaken using a medical suction unit and something to allow the professional to see clearly what he or she is doing. This is normally a microscope, loupe or endoscope. A thin suction is attached to the suction machine that can be comfortably place inside the ear canal. A skilled practitioner will only make contact with the wax and not the patient’s ear canal walls or ear drum.
