Why Microsuction
Signs to look out for:
There are a range of signs to watch out for which could indicate you have an ear or hearing problem:
Loss Of hearing, Coughing, Moving Closer To Those Talking, Turning Up The Volume, Ringing, Loss Off Balance, Concentrating Harder Than Normal To Listen.
Simple diagnosis & treatment:
During a Tympa appointment your clinician will be able to assess your ears, and if wax is present, gently remove it with microsuction. Microsuction is the gold standard of wax removal and is considered safer than other methods such as irrigation.
Once wax has been removed a hearing screening can be performed. This will identify whether you have a level of hearing loss. If you do have a hearing loss your clinician may refer you to an audiologist for further investigation. However, in many cases, the initial problem could’ve simply been down to the presence of wax itself.
