Wax Removal

Could safe and effective wax removal be the answer to your hearing problems? Ear wax or “Cerumen”, is normal. Its presence is in the canal is healthy, as it helps to protect the ear. Occasionally as wax migrates from ear canal it can cause a blockage, preventing sound from travelling down the ear canal to the eardrum. This can cause temporary hearing loss.

Impacted wax can also adversely affect the performance of hearing aids. For example, it can cause feedback or whistling, or cause the instrument to become faulty.

Micro-Suction Wax Removal

“Micro-suction” offers a safe, gentle and very effective way of removing wax. It uses a soft suction or vacuum. Traditional ear syringing uses a jet of water, which many people find unpleasant. Traditional ear stringing can also be unsuitable for patients, for example if they have a perforated Eardrum.

Andrew Friel is one of only a handful of Private Hearing Aid Audiologists to offer micro-suction wax removal. Micro-suction is safe and harmless, using no jets of water at all.

Video Otoscopy

To establish whether wax is present in the ear canal, Andrew provides an examination using the latest in Video Otoscope technology. It is possible to view a live colour image of your own eardrum and ear canal on a TV screen using a miniature camera.  Should excessive Cerumen be present, Andrew offers micro-suction wax removal service on site, without the need for referral.
