Blocked Ears? You’re Not Alone…
Ever found yourself saying “Eh? Say that again!” one too many times? 😅 Blocked ears caused by a build-up of earwax can be surprisingly frustrating — muffled hearing, odd popping noises, that annoying pressure like you’re underwater. It’s not just uncomfortable — it can make everyday life feel like a constant game of lip reading.
Seeking ear wax removal by microsuction is a good choice if you’re dealing with blocked ears . This is often the safest, most effective option. Most people have heard of syringing, but that method is falling out of favour — and for good reason.
So which one should you choose?
As someone who’s worked closely with both eyes and ears over the years, I’ve seen a fair share of wax-related woes. In this guide, we’ll compare both options so you can decide which one suits your ears best.
What Is Ear Syringing?
Ear syringing — or irrigation, as it’s also called — is the old-school way of removing earwax. A tool that looks like a large syringe is used to squirt warm water into your ears with the aim of loosening and flushing the wax out.
Sounds easy enough… until it’s not.
👍 Pros:
- It can work well on soft wax.
- It’s familiar — many remember it from their GP practice years ago.
👎 Cons:
- It can push wax further in the ears if not done correctly.
- It may leave moisture behind, which can lead to infections.
- Many NHS clinics no longer offer it due to safety concerns.
- It’s unsuitable for those with perforated eardrums, ear infections, or hearing aids.
“I had a patient once who ended up needing antibiotics after a routine syringing — not ideal!”
So yes, while syringing has been around for a while, it’s falling out of favour — and for good reason.
What Is Ear Wax Removal by Microsuction?
Ear wax removal by microsuction is the new gold standard — safe, effective, and mess-free. It involves using a gentle suction device under direct visual guidance (usually with a loupe or microscope) to precisely extract wax from your ear canal.
No water. No flushing. No drama.
👍 Pros:
- It’s a dry procedure, so no risk of post-treatment infection.
- It’s quick and safe, usually completed in under 20 minutes.
- This is best for people who use hearing aids, older people, and kids.
- There is minimal contact with your eardrum, reducing risk even more.
👂 The “Not-Quite-Cons”:
- You may hear a soft vacuum-like sound — not painful, just a little unusual.
- It requires a trained professional, but that’s a plus, not a minus!
“One client said it sounded like a tiny Dyson vacuum cleaner at work — oddly satisfying!” 😄
So, Is Ear Wax Removal by Microsuction Better Than Syringing?
Let’s cut to the chase: ear wax removal by microsuction is the safer, cleaner, and more modern solution for most people.
Why is it better?
- No water means less risk of infection.
- It’s faster and more comfortable.
- It’s widely recommended by private clinics and audiologists.
- It’s suitable for nearly everyone, including:
- ✅ Hearing aid users
- ✅ Children
- ✅ Elderly patients
- ✅ People prone to ear infections or discomfort
Honestly, no one wants water squirted in their ear unless they’re at the beach — and even then, it’s questionable!
