Ear Wax Removal
Understanding the impact of excessive
ear wax build-up.
Ear Wax removal – All You Need To Know
Are you struggling to hear? A build-up of excessive ear wax can lead to a blockage.
This can make it hard to hear which can be uncomfortable and sometimes painful.
Temporary hearing loss caused by excess ear wax can be effectively resolved with our advanced micro-suction technique. This method is gentle, safe, and does not require the traditional ear syringing method. Our clinic is staffed by highly trained and specialised healthcare professionals who will ensure your comfort and safety during the procedure.
Before the micro-suction treatment, we conduct a brief consultation to determine your suitability for the procedure.
As part of this consultation, we also offer a complimentary hearing check to assess your hearing ability.
In addition to earwax removal, we provide a range of private ear consultations, including full ear examinations and hearing assessments.
Improve your hearing and overall well-being today by visiting our clinic.

Frequently asked questions
What is ear wax, and why do we have it?
Ear wax, also known as cerumen, is a waxy substance that is naturally produced by the body to help protect and clean the ear canal. It helps to trap dirt, dust, and other foreign particles and prevent them from reaching the eardrum.

Excessive ear wax can cause a range of symptoms, including earache, ear fullness or pressure, ringing in the ears, itching, and difficulty hearing.
How can ear wax be safely removed?
Ear wax can be safely removed through a variety of methods, including micro-suction, ear irrigation, or ear drops. The best method will depend on the individual’s age, medical history, and the amount and type of ear wax present.

Do I need to put ear drops in before?
We recommend putting olive ear drops in for 1 weeks before the appointment. This helps soften the ear wax. We recommend Earol ear spray.

How much does it cost?
£80 for consultation and ears.
Is ear wax removal painful?
Ear wax removal should not be painful when performed by a trained healthcare professional using the appropriate method. Patients may experience a mild discomfort or pressure sensation during the procedure, but it should not be painful.

Can I have ear wax removal if I have a perforated eardrum?
