Appointments typically take around 20 minutes, including consultation and treatment.

Yes, microsuction is one of the safest methods of earwax removal when carried out by a trained professional.

We recomend using olive oil ear drops (or Earol) a few days beforehand to help soften the wax and make removal easier.

Common symptoms include reduced hearing, blocked ears, discomfort, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), or dizziness.

This varies from person to person. Some people may need it once a year, while others may require more regular treatment.
