Our Ear Wax Removal Methods
No two ears are the same, which is why we don't rely on just one technique. Depending on your ears and the type of wax present, we may use:
Microsuction
A gentle suction technique that removes wax under direct vision, with no water and no mess.
Gentle Irrigation
Controlled, low-pressure warm water used to flush softer wax away comfortably.
Manual Removal
Careful removal using specialist instruments, ideal for wax close to the canal entrance.
Vicky will explain the most suitable approach during your appointment and only use methods appropriate for your ears.
Is Ear Wax Causing Your Symptoms?
You may benefit from ear wax removal if you're experiencing:
Not all blocked ears are caused by wax, which is why every appointment begins with a thorough examination.
Ear care that never feels rushed
As a family-run independent clinic, we take the time to carefully examine your ears, explain what we find and ensure treatment is carried out as comfortably as possible.
Our modern video otoscopy system allows you to see inside your ears for yourself, helping you better understand your ear health.
Whether you're attending for routine wax removal or you're unsure what's causing your symptoms, you'll receive honest advice and professional care throughout.
Before Your Appointment
If possible, we recommend using a few drops of olive oil in the affected ear(s) for 2–3 days before your appointment. This helps soften the wax and can make removal quicker and more comfortable.
If you're unable to use olive oil, don't worry. We're still happy to assess your ears.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is microsuction safe?
Yes. Microsuction is widely regarded as one of the safest methods of ear wax removal when carried out by a trained practitioner. We always assess your ears first to determine the safest treatment.
Does ear wax removal hurt?
Most patients find the procedure comfortable. Occasionally, if wax is very hard or close to the eardrum, you may experience some temporary sensitivity, but we'll always work at your pace.
How long does the appointment take?
Appointments are typically 30–45 minutes, allowing enough time for assessment, treatment and aftercare advice.
What if there's no wax?
If your symptoms aren't caused by wax, we'll explain what we've found and advise you on the most appropriate next steps. Where appropriate, we can arrange a comprehensive hearing assessment.
