Risks

Like any medical procedure, both ear microsuctioning and gentle irrigation involve minimal risks and rare potential side effects.

Procedure Risks

  • Partial Wax Removal With a 97% success rate, our service ensures thorough clearance. In the rare event of a follow-up visit, it's always complimentary.
  • Dizziness The procedure may induce dizziness, typically transient and lasting only briefly.
  • Coughing You might experience a tickle in your throat or develop a cough, which typically ceases once the procedure concludes.
  • Noise Exposure The equipment emits sound that may result in temporary hearing loss (known as temporary threshold shift). While extremely rare, there's a minute chance of tinnitus onset or exacerbation of existing tinnitus, or permanent hearing impairment.
  • Trauma There's a minimal risk of potential trauma to the ear canal or eardrum, with an exceedingly rare possibility of eardrum perforation.
  • Infection There exists a slight risk of infection following Microsuction and Irrigation procedures.
