Earwax removal with micro-suction is a medical procedure that uses a small, gentle suction device to remove earwax from the ear canal. Here are the key aspects of this procedure:
1. Microscopic Guidance: The procedure is typically performed using a microscope or a special magnifying loupe, allowing the healthcare provider to see inside the ear canal.
2. Suction Device: A small, delicate suction device is used to carefully extract the earwax. This device creates a gentle vacuum that lifts the wax out of the ear canal.
3. Precision and Safety: Microsuction is known for its precision and is considered one of the safest methods for earwax removal. It minimizes the risk of damaging the ear canal or eardrum.
4. Comfort: Unlike some other methods, microsuction is usually well-tolerated and comfortable for patients, with minimal discomfort.
5. Effectiveness: This method is highly effective at removing even stubborn or impacted earwax, ensuring the ear canal is thoroughly cleaned.
Earwax removal with microsuction is typically performed by an audiologist, ENT specialist, or other trained healthcare professionals.
