What is Ear Wax & Why Does it Cause Problems?
Ear wax, also known as cerumen, is a natural substance produced by the ear canal. It plays a vital role in protecting your ears by trapping dust, dirt, and other debris. Sometimes ear wax can accumulate and harden, leading to a blockage. This buildup can cause a range of problems, including:
Hearing Loss: Blocked ear canals can significantly reduce your ability to hear properly.
Tinnitus: A persistent ringing or buzzing sound in the ear can be a symptom of ear wax buildup.
Dizziness & Vertigo: Ear wax blockage can affect your balance system, leading to dizziness and vertigo.
Earache: Pressure and discomfort in the ear can be caused by excessive ear wax.
Microsuction in Richmond - The Gentle & Effective Solution
Here at MK Ear Wax Clinic, we favour microsuction as the preferred method for ear wax removal. This safe and minimally invasive procedure offers numerous benefits:
Reliable & Non-invasive: Microsuction eliminates the risks associated with traditional methods like cotton buds or irrigation, which can push wax further into the ear canal and damage the eardrum.
Effective & Long-lasting: Our experienced mobile ear wax specialists use a microscope to provide a clear view of the ear canal, allowing for the complete removal of all visible ear wax. This ensures immediate relief and long-lasting results.
Quick & Pain-free: The microsuction process is often completed within 30 minutes and is generally considered painless. We understand that ear discomfort can be particularly unsettling for children, and microsuction is a perfect solution for those with sensitive ears.

Using cotton swabs to clean your ears is not recommended, as it can push ear wax deeper into the ear canal and potentially damage the eardrum. It's safer to have ear wax removed by a trained professional.
