Microsuction as a tool for ear wax removal has been around for a very long time. Generally, most ent departments used microsuction to remove ear wax from the ear canals of people with perforations or large cavities after mastoid operations. The reason was simple, removal of ear wax using water could be dangerous for these people. Hearing care professionals began to provide ear wax removal as a service several y ears ago in the uk because it was becoming more difficult to have a gp (general practitioner, medical doctor) provide the service. Gps are under pressure and wax removal takes time.

Many people have only ever experienced syringing by a nurse at their gp surgery. It is now more accurately known as irrigation, as the old stirrup syringe has been replaced by a regulated water pump with a specially adapted spray head. These irrigation pumps are based on the high pressure water pump dental f loss ers (for example, the waterpik ® ultra) that are so popular nowadays. However, using such high pressure water is not without its consequences. Possible complications of ear wax removal by irrigation are perforation of the ear drum, outer ear infection, and further impaction of the ear wax.

Wax blockage can be stressful for many people causing temporary hearing loss and sometimes pain. It can restrict a person’s ability to hear with their hearing aids and prevent them from having hearing aids fitted.
