Microsuction Ear Wax Removal
Ear wax is produced inside your ears to clean them and keep them free from germs, dust, and bacteria. This wax normally passes out of the ears without us noticing however if the wax builds-up it can cause a blockage.
Ear wax removal by micro-suction is a safe and effective method for removing ear wax, providing a gentle alternative to traditional methods like syringing. This procedure involves using a microscope and a tiny suction device to carefully extract excess ear wax without the need for water irrigation. The suction is precise, allowing our Audiologist to target specific areas without causing discomfort or pushing the wax deeper into the ear canal. Unlike ear syringing, micro-suction is suitable for individuals with a perforated eardrum or a history of ear infections. The procedure is typically quick, and patients usually experience immediate relief from symptoms such as partial hearing loss or earache. Micro-suction is performed by our Audiologist, ensuring a safe and efficient process for maintaining optimal ear health. If you're experiencing ear wax-related issues, get in touch to determine if micro-suction is the right solution for you.
Hearing Assessment
Our hearing assessment is a comprehensive examination conducted by our audiologist to evaluate your hearing. The assessment typically involves a series of tests designed to measure various aspects of your hearing, including sensitivity to different frequencies, speech recognition, and the ability to hear in noisy environments.
We will begin with a chat to identify any potential factors affecting your hearing. Pure-tone audiometry, is then used to see how you respond to tones of different frequencies and volumes, and speech in noise tests may be used to assess your ability to hear spoken words in the presence of background noise. Results from your hearing assessment will help us to diagnose any hearing loss, determine its type and severity, and recommend the appropriate course of action, such as a hearing aid or medical treatment.
Regular hearing assessments are essential for early detection and management of hearing issues and promoting overall well-being of your hearing.
