Use olive oil or almond oil ear drops three to four times a day for up to five days before your appointment to help soften earwax and improve the chances of a successful microsuction. Wax softening drops are available at most high street pharmacies.
Please avoid ear drops containing hydrogen peroxide, as they may cause irritation and discomfort during the procedure and could reduce the effectiveness of microsuction.
Pre-treating with ear drops makes wax removal easier and quicker. If our pharmacist is unable to remove all the wax, they will provide guidance on the next steps.
