Manual removal techniques (microsuction and curettage) have been shown to be faster, safer, more effective, and more suitable for a wider range of patients under direct vision. It is now the preferred method of the otolaryngologist to treat earwax.

However, many health professionals, especially general practitioners, continue to practice the old-fashioned method of removing earwax: rinsing or spraying. This article aims to raise awareness of the recent developments that make manual earwax removal more accessible.

Recent innovations in head-worn microscopes and micro-suction devices enable a cost-effective transition for entrepreneurs on a lower budget. High-quality training combines e-learning and hands-on learning to minimize the time spent on training.

These developments allow companies involved in irrigation to begin manual removal to reduce risk, improve patient comfort, and help a wider range of patients more effectively. Triage hearing care professionals who are not yet actively involved in earwax removal can now start using this easy-to-learn manual removal method.
