Earwax Removal FAQs
Is microsuction safe?
Yes, microsuction is very safe when performed by a trained audiologist. Unlike ear syringing, it doesn’t use water, which lowers the risk of ear infections or damage.
Does microsuction hurt?
Most people feel no pain during microsuction. You might feel slight discomfort or pressure, but it shouldn’t be painful. If you do feel pain, let the audiologist know immediately.
How long does it take to recover from microsuction?
There’s no recovery time needed! You can go back to your usual activities right after the procedure.
Can microsuction help with hearing problems?
Yes, microsuction is great for removing earwax that could be causing hearing loss or discomfort. Many people notice improved hearing afterwards. If your hearing issues are unrelated to earwax, you may need to seek further medical advice.
Are there any risks with microsuction?
Microsuction is generally very safe. Some minor risks include slight irritation, dizziness, or discomfort. Serious complications are rare, especially when performed by a trained audiologist.
Is microsuction better than ear syringing?
Many people prefer microsuction over ear syringing because it doesn’t involve water, reducing the risk of infections, ruptured eardrums, or discomfort. It’s also effective for individuals with heavy earwax buildup.
