Both methods are used by clinics and some GP surgeries to remove ear wax. They work in different ways.
Irrigation
Irrigation uses a gentle, controlled flow of water to wash the wax out of the ear canal. Water goes into the ear during the treatment.
Microsuction
Microsuction uses a small suction tip to lift the wax out. The clinician watches through magnification the whole time. No water goes into the ear.
Which is right for you?
It depends on your ears and your health history. Your clinician will look in your ears first and talk you through the options. At Pinna we offer microsuction.
