Hear The Difference With Ear Microsuction in Epsom and Ewell

Ear wax is a natural substance that helps protect your ears. It traps dust, dirt, and other particles, preventing them from reaching your eardrum.

Ear wax is typically a harmless substance, but when there’s too much, it can have a negative impact on your hearing and life.

For residents of Epsom and Ewell, ear microsuction from Ricky’s Pharmacy offers an quick and painless solution for ear wax removal that can dramatically improve your hearing, reduce discomfort and get you back to living life to the full!

Signs Ear Wax Is Impacting Your Life

Our ears and hearing are so important, we often don’t think about them until something is wrong. There are signs to watch out for that could mean you’re getting a build-up of ear wax and might need to get it removed.

The first thing you might notice is feeling fullness or pressure in your ears, as if something is blocking them. You might notice that sounds seem muffled, and not as clear as you’re used to as well.

A build-up of ear wax can also cause some pain and discomfort depending on how much is in your ears. The trapped wax can become hard and dry, irritating the sensitive skin inside your ear canal. It’s this irritation that can lead to itching, pain, and even ear infections.

If you’re worried about a potential ear infection our pharmacists can take a look at this for you through the pharmacy first scheme.

How Ear Microsuction Can Help

Ear microsuction is a quick and effective method for removing ear wax. Unlike traditional methods, such as using ear drops or irrigation, microsuction uses a gentle suction device to safely remove wax from the ear canal with minimal discomfort.

The process is quick and effective and you’ll be in and out, going back about your day in no time at all!

Once the excess ear wax is removed you’ll notice a difference almost immediately. Patients say that they’ve noticed sounds become clearer and sharper, allowing them to enjoy conversations, music, and other activities without the frustration of muffled hearing!

What To Expect At Your Ear Microsuction Appointment

If you’re considering ear microsuction at Ricky’s Pharmacy in Epsom or Ewell, it’s normal to wonder what will happen during your appointment. The process itself is straightforward and typically takes just a few minutes.

First, our ear care specialist will ask you about any symptoms you’ve been experiencing and check your medical history to ensure that microsuction is the right procedure for you. If you’ve recently had any ear infections or pain we may need to reschedule your procedure to give your ears time to recover.

After this initial consultation, our specialist will carefully examine your ear canal to get a clear view of the wax build-up and determine the best approach for removal.

During the microsuction procedure, you’ll be asked to sit or lie down comfortably we’ll then use a small, thin tube attached to a suction device to gently remove the wax from your ear.

The device makes a soft suctioning sound, which can feel a little strange but is not painful.
Throughout the procedure, we’ll monitor the process using a microscope to ensure that the wax is being removed safely and effectively and regularly check in with you to make sure you’d not experiencing discomfort and you’re happy to keep going.
