We have invested in a microscope for each of our clinics.Using a microscope is the safest way of removing wax and we suggest that if you ever have it done elsewhere you make sure they use a microscope.

The THREE main advantages of a microscope over any other method are:

• Firstly the microscope lenses bring your eyes together so you can look down the narrow ear canal with TWO eyes which gives us depth perception which is very important when moving the sucker close to the ear canal wall and ear drum. Having depth perception makes it much safer than syringing or some places which use a sucker and a headlight instead of a microscope where they will be looking down the ear canal with only one eye.
• Secondly the microscope gives us lots of magnification and and extremely clear view of the ear canal.
• Lastly the microscope has a very bright light so we can get a really good detailed view.
