Frequently Asked Questions

What is microsuction earwax removal?
Microsuction earwax removal is a clinical procedure that uses a professional suction device to safely remove earwax under direct visualisation. It is widely considered one of the safest and most effective earwax removal methods available.
Microsuction does not use water and allows clinicians to clearly visualise the ear canal throughout the procedure. This improves precision, patient comfort, and safety, particularly for patients with sensitive ears or certain medical conditions.
This course is designed for allied healthcare professionals with existing healthcare experience. Basic understanding of ear anatomy and otoscopy is recommended before attending.
Yes. Delegates receive supervised practical training using real patients, helping build confidence in real clinical scenarios rather than relying only on simulation models.
Completing this course allows you to introduce microsuction earwax removal into existing clinical services or begin offering earwax removal independently where appropriate. Many professionals use this training to expand private healthcare services, improve patient access to ear care, or support hearing healthcare clinics.
