Frequently Asked Questions about Microsuction Training

What is Aural Microsuction Training?

Aural Microsuction Training provides comprehensive hands-on experience for ear care professionals, focusing on safely removing earwax through microsuction. Endorsed by the British Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists, this one-day course is designed to enhance practical skills.

Am I insured during the training?

Yes, all participants are provided with Personal Indemnity insurance for the duration of the course. This ensures you are fully covered when practicing microsuction on each other or any real patients, offering peace of mind as you learn.

Who is eligible for the training?

Registered ear care professionals with prior ear care experience, including ENTs, nurses, audiologists, and hearing care assistants, and other medical professionals with proof of attendance at a recognised ear wax removal course. We will also consider those who have gained experience in ear anatomy, pathology knowledge, and otoscopy skills through working with patients.

What makes this training unique?

The training is highly practical with a focus on hands-on learning. It offers personal attention with a maximum of four trainees per trainer, ensuring you gain the confidence to perform microsuction safely and effectively.

Can the training be conducted at my practice?

Yes, there's an option for the training to be conducted at your practice. Hosting a training day requires providing a suitable venue, and the training team can come to you, making it highly convenient and tailored to your needs.

Do I need to be CQC registered?

Potential trainees should check with their governing bodies, registrations and societies regarding providing an aural microsuction service for the NHS, a company or independently.

Practical

We only train registered ear care professionals, so you already have a high level of expertise and knowledge. Therefore, we can spend most of the time hands on and developing the practical skills needed to complete the procedure safely, professionally, and confidently.

Personal

With a maximum of four trainees per trainer, we'll work with you all day, up close and personal, so you'll gain all the confidence you need to add this to your practice immediately. Constant supervision using a combination of synthetic wax and real ears means you can qualify in one day.

Convenient

Only one day & we can come to you and you practice on your own clients, family and friends. They trust you the most and are definitely the best ears to train on. You may also join another person or group if that's more convenient for you. We run numerous courses every month.

Who we train

The full list of eligible candidates we can train in either private or NHS departments includes: ENTs, clinical scientists, GPs, physician associates, assistant practitioners, nurses, nursing associates, audiologists, audiology associates, and hearing care assistants. All must be registered, have prior ear care experience (e.g., irrigation), and be comfortable using an otoscope to attend the microsuction training course.

We can accept other medical professionals with proof of attendance at a recognised ear wax removal course. We will also consider those who have gained experience in ear anatomy, pathology knowledge, and otoscopy skills through working with patients.

Potential trainees should check with their governing bodies, registrations, and societies regarding providing an aural microsuction service for the NHS, a company, or independently.

Hosting a Training Day at Your Practice

We are always looking for people to host venues so we can add more training dates around the UK. Hosts are required to provide a suitable venue and for doing this we will travel to your practise/department and provide training on-site. We prefer to train in groups of 4 and we can supplement numbers with other trainees looking for training places in your area. Therefore, if only one person requires training at your practice/department, it's not a problem, we'll do the rest. Costs are the same as attending our organised venues and we normally need 6 weeks notice to arrange everything.

'I have completed the course and can thoroughly recommend this to any hearing care professional. The course is well structured with a good balance of theory and practical, the knowledge and guidance is excellent on the range of equipment available to suit the practitioner and it's safe effective use.'
