We recommend using ear drops for 3 to 5 days before your appointment. This will help soften the wax, making it easier to remove and is available at most pharmacies.

To cancel your appointment, you must give us at least two clear working days’ notice, otherwise your booking fee will be non-refundable. 

In the past, one popular method of cleaning wax out of the ears was syringing, which involves squirting water into the ear using a hand-held syringe. This method is now considered unsafe when using a syringe manually. The pressure can’t be regulated which can lead to perforated eardrums.

Another popular ear wax removal method is irrigation. Like ear syringing, this involves water being flushed into the ear which pushes out any excess wax. Since the pressure can be controlled, unlike ear syringing, this method is considered safe, although it can be messy. A basin is often used to collect the excess water.

There are many ear wax removal methods. But only some are considered safe and effective, while others are questionable at best, and dangerous at worst.

We carry out ear wax removal by micro-suction. This method is quick, safe and effective. Unlike irrigation, the benefits of micro-suction are that there is no mess and there is no need to get any water in your ear.

The micro-suction method involves placing a tiny probe inside your ear, cleaning out any excess ear wax and debris like a tiny vacuum cleaner. And unlike irrigation, micro-suction is suitable even if you have a perforated eardrum.

Also, since the probe that is used in our micro-suction technique is connected to a video otoscope, the practitioner can watch the ear wax removal in real-time but also record the removal process in case any further investigation is needed.

We use micro-suction.  This painless technique doesn’t require any water being squirted into your ear, like some other methods. It involves a low-pressure suction probe being inserted into the ear which will gently remove excess wax and debris. This latest technology means your ear wax removal will be quick and effective. 

In September 2020, a government minister confirmed that the NHS would no longer be offering ear wax removal as a core service. This means that you might not be able to get your ear wax removed at your local GP surgery, even if you used to in the past. We offer ear wax removal as an alternative, private service. 

Cotton buds may look soft, but they are made from artificial fibres that can scratch and inflame the sensitive skin inside the ear canal, making it more vulnerable to infection. They can also push wax deeper into your ear canal, making things worse.  If you think you have a blockage in your ear canal or think you have an ear wax build-up, you can book an appointment for a specialist wax removal appointment.

Ear wax removal shouldn’t hurt. An experienced ear wax removal practitioner will help remove your wax using the most up-to-date technology. And modern methods for ear wax removal should only lead to a mild sensation in the ear. 

No. Normally ear wax works its way out naturally by itself. You can wipe away any visible ear wax using a clean damp cloth. But never insert anything into the ear canal. If you have a wax blockage, have it treated by a professional.  

Symptoms of ear wax build-up can include having difficulty hearing, tinnitus or a sensation of fullness or discomfort in the ear. If you have any of these symptoms you should get a healthcare professional to examine your ears. 

What is ear wax?

Ear wax is a natural, moisturising secretion that helps keep your ears clean and healthy. We all produce ear wax at different rates.

What are the symptoms of ear wax build-up?

For people who produce a lot of ear wax, or if it’s quite dry, it can start to build up and cause problems. The symptoms of too much ear wax can include:

• Hearing loss
• Pain or discomfort in the ear (earache)
• Tinnitus
• Vertigo (dizziness and nausea)

How can I treat ear wax build-up? 

Ear wax works its way naturally out of the ear, collecting debris and dry skin along the way. But if your ear wax doesn’t fall out on its own and blocks your ear, you can use Earol®. This natural, olive oil spray helps soften wax and makes it more likely to come out on its own. You can get Earol® in most pharmacies, (make sure you read the leaflet carefully as it may not be suitable if you have a perforated eardrum).

Do not use cotton buds to remove ear wax. These can push the wax further into your ear canal and make your symptoms worse.
