EARWORX · HULL & EAST YORKSHIRE
Earwax Removal
Earwax removal including microsuction, following an ear assessment.
About this service
A build-up of earwax can cause blocked ears, reduced hearing, discomfort and sometimes ringing or buzzing in the ears. If troublesome earwax is affecting your everyday life, Earworx offers professional assessment and microsuction earwax removal tailored to your individual needs.
We aim to make every appointment comfortable and reassuring, taking time to examine your ears, explain our findings and discuss the most appropriate treatment.
The difference is our clinical experience
Professional ear care involves more than simply removing wax. Some patients have deeply impacted earwax, narrow ear canals or other ear-health conditions that require particular care and clinical judgement.
Cheryl's nursing background and clinical experience bring valuable knowledge to the assessment and treatment of patients, including those with more complex earwax problems.
Our approach prioritises careful examination, appropriate treatment, patient comfort and safety. We also welcome enquiries and referrals from other providers where additional clinical assessment may be helpful.
How microsuction works
Microsuction is a method of earwax removal that uses a small, controlled suction device to remove wax from the ear canal under direct observation.
Unlike traditional ear irrigation, which uses water to flush the ear canal, microsuction does not introduce water into the ear.
It may be suitable for some patients for whom irrigation is not recommended. However, microsuction is not appropriate for everyone. We assess each person's circumstances, explain the procedure and discuss any relevant risks before treatment.
Do you need earwax removal?
Some people are more prone to earwax build-up, particularly those with narrow ear canals or who regularly use hearing aids or ear protection.
Not every blocked ear is caused by earwax. If you are unsure whether removal is necessary, we recommend arranging an initial examination.
