Keep Swimmer’s Ear at Bay: How ear microsuctioning can help.

Swimmer’s Ear, also known as otitis externa, is a common condition that affects many swimmers and water enthusiasts. It occurs when water becomes trapped in the ear canal and creates a moist environment. This then leads to inflammation, infection, and overall discomfort. Earwax build-up also contributes to the development of this condition. Ear microsuctioning can provide several benefits to individuals with Swimmer’s Ear.

When it comes to addressing discomfort, ear microsuctioning is the go-to solution. Specialist nurses perform the procedure, using a high-powered microscope and small suction device to gently remove earwax and alleviate discomfort. Microsuctioning is considered the golden standard method of ear cleaning.
