Ear Wax Removal in Sligo
If a build-up of ear wax is making things sound muffled, Sligo residents can access professional microsuction — a gentle, modern alternative to ear syringing — without travelling far from home.
What is microsuction?
Microsuction is a modern, gentle method of removing ear wax. Using a fine suction device under direct vision, a trained practitioner clears the wax without water or syringing — often more comfortable, and suitable for a wider range of ears than traditional methods.
What to expect
Your practitioner will first look in your ear with a microscope or headlight to check the wax build-up, then use gentle suction to clear it. Most appointments are quick and straightforward, and you'll notice the difference right away.
Who it's for
Microsuction is suitable for most people with a build-up of ear wax, including those who find syringing uncomfortable or who have had ear surgery in the past. If you have a current ear infection, a perforation, or recent surgery, let us know when you get in touch.
