Due to various reasons commonly including age, use of cotton buds and how an ear is shaped can lead to wax becoming blocked. This can lead to a variety of symptoms including hearing loss, irritation, ringing and even dizziness.
We recommend using Earol spray in the affected ear 3 times a day for 5 day prior to the microsuction appointment. This helps soften the wax and reduces the likely hood of a second visit.
Avoid swimming and soaking the ears in water for 48 hours. If stubborn wax requires a second appointment we may recommend Earol applications prior to the appointment. This appointment will be free and details discusses as required.
