How microsuction works and how to stay safe with it
Microsuction is the most up-to-date, safest, and painless way to get rid of ear wax.
The best way to do microsuction is with a high-quality surgical microscope that shines light into the ear and magnifies the ear canal and ear drum so that the ear doctor can see every part of the outer ear in high definition.
The procedure is also completely safe and there is no chance of getting an infection because the tools are sterile and only used once. It doesn't take a lot of time either—between 2 and 10 minutes per ear.
The microsuction technique can also be used to get rid of an infection or a foreign body.
A low-pressure suction ENT device that is safe, effective, and clean can also be used to do microsuction in a safe and effective way.
Both of these methods of microsuction are advanced enough that, in the hands of a skilled doctor, they can safely remove wax that is stuck to the ear drum. There's no need to use olive oil first, and even the hardest, most stuck-on wax can be removed the first time without pain. With microsuction, most people don't need to come back for a second appointment.
