What is microsuction
Earwax removed, gently and precisely
Microsuction is the modern way to clear blocked ears at Coldean Pharmacy in Brighton — a fine, gentle suction device removes wax under direct vision, with no water and no mess.
Why microsuction
Gentler and cleaner than syringing
Performed under direct vision
Unlike ear syringing or irrigation, microsuction uses no water — the clinician looks directly into the ear canal throughout and removes wax with a fine suction probe. Most people find it quick and comfortable, and both ears can usually be cleared in a single short appointment. Every visit starts with an examination, so nothing is removed unless it needs to be.

Blocked or muffled hearing
If sounds feel dulled, your own voice echoes, or an ear feels full, a build-up of earwax is often the cause — and examination will confirm it.
Discomfort, pressure or earache
Hardened wax can press against the ear canal, causing a feeling of pressure, itching or mild earache. Gentle removal often brings quick relief.
Hearing-aid users & hearing tests
Wax can block hearing-aid moulds and interfere with audiology appointments — many audiologists ask for clear ears before a hearing test.

Included
Gentle ear examination
Alison examines both ears with an otoscope to check for wax build-up and make sure microsuction is suitable for you before anything is removed.
Under direct vision
Careful microsuction removal
A fine suction probe gently removes the wax while the ear canal is viewed directly throughout — no water, no syringing, no mess.
Take-home
Aftercare advice
Before you leave, you’ll get simple advice on keeping your ears healthy, and guidance on when to come back if wax tends to build up again.
