If you’re experiencing blocked ears, muffled hearing, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), or discomfort, ear wax build-up could be the cause. Across Stourbridge, Wollaston, Dudley, Brierley Hill, and Kingswinford, more people than ever are searching for safe and effective ear wax removal — and many are discovering that micro suction is the modern alternative to traditional ear syringing.
At Hear-Now, we specialise in professional micro suction ear wax removal for patients throughout the DY postcode area. In this article, we explain the difference between ear syringing and micro suction, and why micro suction is now considered the gold standard in ear care.
What Is Ear Syringing?
Ear syringing (also known as ear irrigation) involves flushing the ear canal with water to dislodge wax. It was once commonly offered by GP surgeries, including across Dudley and surrounding areas, but is now far less widely available.
Problems with Ear Syringing
- ❌ Uses water, increasing the risk of infection
- ❌ Can cause dizziness or discomfort
- ❌ Not suitable for people with perforated eardrums, grommets, or previous ear surgery
- ❌ Often ineffective for hard or impacted wax
- ❌ Higher risk of ear canal irritation or eardrum damage
Because the clinician cannot see inside the ear during syringing, wax may be left behind or pushed further into the ear canal — leading to repeat appointments or worsening symptoms.
What Is Micro Suction Ear Wax Removal?
Micro suction is a safe, water-free ear wax removal technique that uses a gentle suction device to remove wax under direct visual guidance using a microscope or specialist ear camera.
This method is now widely recommended by audiologists and ENT professionals and is the preferred ear wax removal method for patients in Stourbridge, Kingswinford, Brierley Hill, and across the DY postcode area.
Why Micro Suction Is Better Than Ear Syringing
1. Safer for Your Ears
Micro suction allows the practitioner to see the ear canal and eardrum clearly throughout the procedure. This precision significantly reduces the risk of injury and makes it suitable for patients who cannot safely have ear syringing.
At Hear-Now, micro suction is safe for:
- Patients with previous ear problems
- Hearing aid users
- Narrow or sensitive ear canals
- Those prone to ear infections
2. More Effective for Impacted Ear Wax
Unlike syringing, micro suction works on all types of ear wax, including:
- Hard or dry wax
- Deeply impacted wax
- Long-standing build-ups
Most patients across Dudley, Wollaston, and Brierley Hill experience immediate improvement in hearing after just one appointment.
3. Comfortable and Quick
Micro suction is usually completed in 10–15 minutes, with minimal discomfort. There’s no water involved, no mess, and no need to wait for ears to dry afterwards.
Some patients notice a mild suction noise, but the procedure is generally described as comfortable and well-tolerated.
4. Lower Risk of Complications
Compared to ear syringing, micro suction has a much lower risk of:
- Ear infections
- Vertigo caused by water temperature changes
- Eardrum perforation
- Wax being pushed further into the ear
This makes it the preferred option for modern ear care clinics, including Hear-Now.
