Does microsuction hurt?
If the wax is hard it may feel slightly uncomfortable but you should let the clinician know immediately you feel any pain. The procedure should then be stopped as it may mean the wax has adhered to your eardrum. Your ear may need oiling for a few days and the procdure continued at a later date.
Can deep ear wax be removed?
It can, but that depends on the shape and narrowness of your ear canals.
How often do I need microsuction?
This can be gauged from taking an ear health history and from a second visual inspection of your ears. People who work in particularly dusty environments may, for example find they need wax removal every 4 to 5 months.
Why does my ear still feel blocked after microsuction?
Allow your ear a few hours to settle especially if your canal was full with wax. Sometimes the blocked feeling is from the middle ear and having a chat with a pharmacist about a decongestant may help.
There could be an underlying ear infection, or potential hearing loss.
