What causes ear wax?
Also known by the medical term ‘cerumen’, Ear wax is a yellowish waxy substance that protects the skin ear canal, assists in cleaning and lubrication, and also provides some protection from bacteria, fungi, insects and water.
Ear wax does not usually cause any problems, but if too much ear wax is produced it can lead to a blocked and painful ear or hearing loss. It can also affect the operation of hearing aids, causing them to whistle, produce feedback noises and reduce the quality of sound.

Microsuction vs ear syringing
Microsuction is widely considered to be a much safer and more effective ear wax removal method compared to ear syringing, as it avoids touching the sensitive skin of the ear canal and will have no contact with the ear drum. As no water is introduced into the ear with microsuction the risk of infection is also reduced.
