Ear wax treatment

If you find your hearing becoming dull, it pays to book a free hearing check at your local Triton Hearing Clinic. Triton Hearing no longer offer ear wax removal via micro-suctioning but can refer you to a local provider.

It may also be as a result of excess ear wax or other debris in the ear canal. Over time, the narrow, curved ear canal can become blocked with wax, skin or debris.

A good option for ear wax removal is called the micro-suction technique. This gentle procedure ensures a safe and effective result and enables the ear nurse to view the ear canal under a microscope, helping pick up any other ear health concerns during the process.

What is micro-suctioning? The Ear Nurse will use a microscope to see into the ear canal and ear drum. A small tube attached to a suction device is placed in your ear canal and will remove wax and debris, this can feel tickly but is not uncomfortable. 

Triton Hearing no longer offer ear wax removal services but can refer you to a trusted local provider. Please get in touch with your local clinic for advice on 0800 45 45 44.
