The notice in full
Aural Micro-suctioning service to provide ear wax removal locally, via an inter-practice referral, for more complex cases. Aural Micro-suctioning uses direct microscopic vision with a small suction tube to remove cerumen, discharge and debris present in the ear canal. The delicate ear structures are seen throughout the procedure by the clinician, so this technique is associated with the least risk to the ears and hearing mechanism.
