A pharmacist uses a microscope and a low-pressure suction device to gently remove earwax from your ear canal.

Microsuction is a quick procedure that doesn't use water, so it's cleaner and more comfortable than other methods. You can usually go home the same day and should notice an immediate improvement in your symptoms.

Microsuction is recommended for people who shouldn't have water in their ears, such as those with a perforated eardrum, a history of thick ear discharge, or who have had ear surgery.

After the procedure, you should avoid strenuous activity for 1-2 days. You can take over-the-counter pain relievers if you experience any discomfort.

Possible side effects include dizziness, discomfort, reduced hearing, infection, or trauma to the ear.

To ensure successful earwax removal, it is recommended to use olive oil ear drops for softening the wax for 3-5 days before the appointment. This helps to loosen the wax, making it easier and more comfortable to remove during the procedure.
