Ear Microsuction Overview

Gentle, precise earwax removal using medical-grade suction—no water irrigation required.

Book an ear microsuction appointment with Dr Ibraham Barakat. This quick, clinic-based procedure uses magnification and fine suction to remove built-up wax, helping relieve blocked ears, dulled hearing, and tinnitus.

One of the main benefits of microsuction ear wax removal is that, unlike other procedures in which ear wax is flushed out of the ear with no visual aids to guide the person carrying out the procedure, microsuction procedures use a microscope to give a clear image of where the wax needs to be removed from.

  • Why Microsuction?: A dry, controlled technique that avoids water flushing—ideal for those with ear infections, perforations, grommets, or sensitive ears.
  • What to Expect: A short assessment, then wax removal under direct vision. Most treatments take just minutes.
  • Before Your Visit: If advised by your doctor, use olive-oil or wax-softening drops for 2–3 days prior to your appointment.
  • Who It Helps: Adults and children with wax impaction, hearing-aid users, swimmers, or anyone experiencing fullness, ringing, or reduced hearing.
