Ear Wax Removal

Our expert audiologists provide professional ear wax removal services to ensure your ears stay healthy and clear.

It's always better to have ear wax removal done by a trained audiologist, as improper methods can cause damage.

We use advanced techniques like microsuction and irrigation to safely and effectively remove ear wax. Additionally, we employ precise instrumentation when necessary to remove any stubborn wax. 

Our goal is to offer you a comfortable and efficient ear cleaning experience, tailored to your specific needs.

Before your appointment

Contact us for advice on whether you should soften the wax before your appointment and which preparation to use.

Let us know if you have a perforated eardrum, grommets, previous ear surgery, ear pain or discharge. This helps us advise you appropriately.

Do not put cotton buds or other objects into your ear canals.

Our Approach

Earwax is normal and helps protect your ears. It does not always need to be removed.

We assess your ears before recommending treatment. If wax is not the cause of your symptoms, we will explain our findings and advise you on suitable next steps.

If you have hearing loss with ear pain or discharge, seek urgent advice from your GP or NHS 24 on 111.

    • Tell us about your ears
      We ask about your symptoms, previous ear problems and any ear surgery or treatment you have had.

    • We examine your ears
      We check for wax and assess whether removal is suitable. We explain what we find and discuss the proposed treatment and its risks.

    • Treatment suited to your ears
      Where appropriate, we remove the wax using microsuction, irrigation or specialist instruments. Tell us if you feel uncomfortable or need a break.

    • Know what to do next
      We check your ears after treatment and explain any further care or assessment that may be needed.

  • £50 for both ears
    £35 for one ear
    £20 consultation fee if no wax is found 

    • What if there is no wax?
      The consultation fee is £20 if no wax is found. We will explain what we can see and discuss whether further assessment is needed.

    • Which removal method will you use?
      We offer microsuction, irrigation and removal with specialist instruments. The method depends on the wax, your ear health and what is appropriate for you.

    • What if the wax cannot all be removed?
      We will explain why treatment has been stopped and discuss the next steps. Further softening, another appointment or medical assessment may be needed at no additional cost.

    • Do you remove wax from children’s ears?
      Children are considered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us before booking so we can discuss suitability.

    • Will removing wax improve my hearing?
      It may help if wax is causing the blockage. If you still have hearing difficulties after removal, a hearing assessment may be appropriate.

    • Should I use eardrops beforehand?
      Please contact us for preparation advice. Do not use ear drops if you have a perforated eardrum unless a doctor has advised you to do so.
