Could ear wax be affecting your hearing?
Ear wax build-up is very common. You may benefit from removal if you have:
- Earache or discomfort
- Hearing loss or muffled sounds
- An itchy sensation or a feeling of fullness in the ear
- Tinnitus (a ringing or buzzing in the ear)
We also provide safe and professional removal of foreign objects lodged in the ear canal.
Think it might be wax?
Get in touch and we’ll arrange an appointment at your home, work or wherever suits you.
Our method: the gold standard in ear care
We use microsuction, one of the safest and most precise methods of ear wax removal. Unlike traditional ear syringing, microsuction is completely water-free. Using magnification and a low-pressure suction device, your Audiologist can carefully and precisely remove the wax.
It’s quick and gentle, with minimal risk of infection or dizziness, and most people notice clearer hearing straight away.
Preparing for your appointment
For the easiest, most comfortable removal, please soften the wax beforehand:
Apply 1 to 2 drops of olive oil twice daily for 2 to 5 days before your appointment.
It is completely normal for your ears to feel slightly more blocked after using the drops. This simply means the wax is successfully absorbing the oil and softening up for removal.
What to expect during your visit
Your appointment will take up to 30 minutes and follows a structured, safety-first process.
Medical consultation
We will ask you to complete a brief medical questionnaire to review your history and ensure the procedure is entirely safe for you.
Clear explanation
Your Audiologist will walk you through every step of the process and answer any questions you might have.
Otoscopy and video examination
Using a high-definition video otoscope, we will examine your ear canal. You are welcome to view the inside of your ear on the screen with us.
Gentle removal
We will extract the ear wax using our microsuction device, occasionally using manual precision tools if needed.
Final check and aftercare
We will re-examine the ear to confirm it is completely clear and provide a personalised aftercare plan. If we detect an issue that requires further medical attention, we will arrange an ENT referral via a letter to your GP.

Clear ears (no wax found)
If we examine your ears and discover that there is no wax blockage present, your appointment will be treated as a consultation, carrying a standard fee of £25.
Incomplete removal
If the wax is severely compacted or resting on the eardrum, it may not be safe to remove it all in one sitting. We will advise you to continue using softening drops and arrange a follow-up visit, charged at a reduced fee of £20.
