Micro-suction ear wax removal is the safest and most effective method for removing excess ear wax. Using specialist equipment and magnification, ear wax is gently removed under direct vision without the need for water irrigation. This makes micro-suction suitable for most adults, including those with sensitive ears, perforated eardrums, hearing aids, or a history of ear infections.
At Sounds Clear™, micro-suction ear wax removal is performed with care, precision, and full clinical assessment beforehand. I will always explain the procedure clearly and only proceed if treatment is appropriate, ensuring your comfort and safety at all times.
An aural examination allows for a detailed visual assessment of the ear canal and eardrum using professional otoscopy equipment. This examination helps identify common ear conditions such as wax build-up, inflammation, infections, foreign bodies, or signs of eardrum damage.
Aural examinations are often carried out prior to ear wax removal but can also be booked as a standalone service if you are experiencing symptoms such as ear pain, blocked ears, ringing, or hearing changes. Clear explanations and honest advice are always provided, and referrals will be recommended if further medical assessment is required.
Hearing checks provide a simple and effective way to assess your hearing levels and identify any potential hearing loss. This service is ideal if you are noticing changes in your hearing, struggling with conversations, or experiencing muffled or reduced sound.
At Sounds Clear™, hearing checks are carried out following an aural examination to ensure the ear canal is clear and suitable for testing. Results are explained clearly, with practical advice on next steps if hearing loss is suspected, including referrals where appropriate.
