Ear Microsuction and Irrigation
At The Guildhall Practice, we are dedicated to offering expert ear care services, including advanced ear wax removal techniques such as ear microsuction and ear irrigation. Our team of experienced professionals ensures that your ear health is in safe hands, providing treatments tailored to your individual needs.
The glands in the ear canal naturally produce earwax, also known as cerumen. While it often gets a negative reputation, earwax serves important functions. It forms a barrier that prevents bacteria, dust, and foreign particles from reaching the eardrum. Ear wax keeps the ear canal lubricated, reducing the risk of dryness and irritation. It assists in the natural cleaning process of the ear by trapping debris and expelling it as the wax moves outward. However, excessive earwax build-up can lead to discomfort, hearing loss, and other complications, necessitating professional removal.

What does microsuction ear wax removal involve?
Microsuction is a safe and precise method of removing ear wax. It involves using a gentle suction device under a microscope to remove the wax without the need for water. This technique is highly regarded as the ‘gold standard’ for earwax removal.
Benefits of Microsuction:
- We perform the procedure with direct visualisation, ensuring accuracy.
- It is painless and usually well-tolerated.
- Microsuction can effectively remove both soft and hard ear wax, often in a single session.U
- nlike ear syringing or irrigation, microsuction does not use water, making it suitable for people with perforated eardrums or a history of ear infections.
What Does Ear Syringing Involve?
Ear syringing is a traditional method of earwax removal that uses a stream of water to flush out the wax. While this method can be effective, it has largely been replaced by safer techniques such as ear microsuction and ear irrigation.
What is ear irrigation?
Ear irrigation is an updated and safer version of ear syringing. A specialised device gently introduces controlled streams of warm water into the ear canal to dislodge and flush out the wax. This method is suitable for soft wax and can be an alternative for patients who prefer water-based treatments.

Our Earwax Removal Procedure
We use advanced microsuction – a safe, effective, and modern method for removing earwax. It works by gently suctioning out blockages using a precise, low-pressure vacuum. No water, no mess.
What to expect:
- Safe & non-invasive: No water means less risk of infection.
- Comfortable: Most people feel little to no discomfort.
- Quick & efficient: The procedure takes around 15–30 minutes.
Is microsuction better than ear syringing?
Yes, microsuction is generally considered safer and more effective than ear syringing. Unlike syringing, microsuction does not use water and is performed under direct observation, reducing the risk of complications such as eardrum perforation or ear infections.
Microsuction is suitable for most people, including those with:
- Perforated eardrums.
- Ear infections.
- Previous ear surgeries.
- Hearing aids or narrow ear canals.
Is ear irrigation suitable for everyone?
Ear irrigation is generally safe but may not be suitable for individuals with:
- Perforated eardrums.
- Recent ear surgeries.
- Chronic ear infections.
Our practitioners will evaluate your suitability during your consultation.
Can children undergo microsuction?
Yes, microsuction is safe for children. Our practitioners are skilled in providing gentle and effective care for younger patients.
Is earwax removal safe?
Yes, ear microsuction is one of the safest and most effective methods for earwax removal. It is performed under direct vision, reducing risks.
How does The Guildhall Practice ensure patient safety during ear wax removal?
Our highly trained practitioners provide safe and effective treatments using state-of-the-art equipment. We assess each patient’s ear health prior to the procedure and tailor the treatment accordingly.
What if I have an ear infection?
If you have an active ear infection, our practitioners will assess your condition and determine the safest treatment option. In many cases, micro-suction can still be performed.

Does earwax removal hurt?
Most patients find the procedure comfortable. You may feel a slight suction sensation during treatment.
How often should I have earwax removed?
This varies. Some people benefit from routine removal every 6–12 months. Your GP will provide you with personalised advice.
What happens if I don’t treat earwax build-up?
Untreated blockages can lead to hearing loss, infection, or even damage to the eardrum. Early treatment prevents complications.
Do I need to prepare for the ear wax removal appointment?
We recommend softening earwax with olive oil drops 2–3 days before your visit. This makes removal easier and more comfortable.
How long does the procedure take?
Depending on the amount of wax and the complexity of the case, most microsuction appointments take 15 to 30 minutes to complete.
Do you offer earwax removal for both ears in one session?
Yes, we can treat both ears during the same session. This is often more convenient and cost-effective for patients.
How much does ear wax removal cost at The Guildhall Practice?
Our pricing is transparent and affordable.
Single Ear: £50.
Both Ears: £70.

Can earwax removal improve hearing?
Yes, clearing impacted earwax often leads to significant improvement in hearing, as it removes the blockage that prevents sound from reaching the eardrum.
Can I remove earwax at home?
Home remedies, such as cotton buds, can push wax deeper into the ear and cause damage. Professional removal is safer and more effective.
Can I use over-the-counter remedies to remove earwax?
While over-the-counter ear drops can help soften wax, they are not always effective in removing it completely. Professional removal methods, such as microsuction or ear irrigation, ensure thorough and safe cleaning.
What should I avoid after earwax removal?
After microsuction, your ears might be a little more sensitive than usual. To help them settle, we recommend:
- Avoid getting water in your ears for at least 24 hours (no swimming or long showers).
- Don’t insert anything into your ears – no cotton buds or fingers.
- Hold off on using ear drops unless advised by your practitioner.
- Avoid loud noise for a few hours – your hearing may feel sharper right after the procedure.
If you notice any discomfort, ringing, or unusual symptoms, get in touch with us.
