EAR CARE ADVICE

Pre-removal

IF YOU HAVE A PERFORATED EARDRUM, PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR ADVICE FIRST.

To ensure the wax is soft please use olive oil (Earol) every night for a week (minimum) before Microsuction.

• Tilt head

• Place a couple of drops/couple of sprays of Earol in ear.

• Leave head tilted for 15 mins to allow the oil to get beyond the wax and work to soften.

• Repeat in the other ear if applicable.

Please DO NOT put cotton wool in your ears to prevent the oil coming out as this will just absorb the oil.

Aftercare

Once wax is removed, please keep your ears dry for a minimum of 24 hours. It can be helpful to use a cotton wool ball with some petroleum jelly on in the entrance to the ear when showering.

If you notice any discomfort, pain, discharge, swelling, odour or disruption to your hearing following the procedure, please seek medical advice from your GP.
