Why We Use an Examination Microscope
At Plymouth Hearing Care, we use high-quality ENT examination microscopes similar to those used within hospital ear, nose and throat departments.
This allows us to:
✓ Examine your ear canal and ear drum in exceptional detail.
✓ Remove ear wax gently and accurately.
✓ Work safely, even when wax is close to the ear drum.
✓ Identify anything unusual that may require referral to your .GP or ENT specialist.
Quite simply, better visibility allows for more precise treatment.
Our Approach to Ear Wax removal
We believe ear wax removal should never be rushed.
Every appointment begins with a careful examination of your ears with an explanation before any treatment is carried out.
Where removal is required, we use micro suction and specialist manual techniques as appropriate, with high-magnification ENT microscopes providing excellent visibility throughout the procedure.
If wax isn't the cause of your symptoms, we'll explain what we've found and advise you on the most appropriate next step.
Sometimes, the most valuable advice is knowing that ear wax isn't the problem
Our Clinical Standards
We use modern micro suction and manual instrumentation where appropriate.
We do not routinely use water irrigation, as our clinicians prefer techniques that allow excellent visibility and control throughout the procedure.
Where appropriate, we can also carry out additional hearing assessments if your symptoms are not caused by ear wax.
