Three clinically proven methods
TREATMENTS
Our trained clinicians will assess your ears and recommend the most appropriate technique for your individual needs.

Common questions
FAQS
Does ear wax removal hurt?
No — when carried out by a trained clinician, the procedure is generally comfortable and well-tolerated. Microsuction produces some noise and a mild sensation. Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how quick and easy it is.
Do I need to prepare my ears before the appointment?
We highly recommend using olive oil ear drops 2–3 times daily for 3–5 days beforehand if possible. This softens the wax and makes removal easier. If you can't do this in advance, don't worry — we can still assess and often treat your ears in the same visit.
How long does the appointment take?
A standard appointment takes around 20–30 minutes, including the examination, removal, and aftercare advice. Very impacted wax may take slightly longer.
Is microsuction safe?
Yes — microsuction is a safe ear wax removal method is the gold standard used by ENT consultants in hospitals. It involves no water and allows the clinician to view the ear canal throughout, making it one of the safest and most effective options available.
Yes — microsuction is suitable for patients with a perforated eardrum or grommets, as no water is used. Irrigation is not suitable in these cases. Please let us know when booking so we can prepare appropriately.
Can I have treatment with a perforated eardrum?
Will my hearing improve straight away?
Most patients notice an immediate and significant improvement following treatment. Some mild, temporary fluctuations in the hours after removal are normal as the ear canal adjusts — this settles quickly.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly with us — no GP referral required. Simply call us or book online to secure your appointment.
This varies between individuals. Some people only ever need treatment once, while others build up wax regularly and benefit from a routine appointment every 6–12 months. Hearing aid users often find more frequent visits helpful. We'll advise based on what we find.
How often will I need ear wax removal?
Can I get my ear wax removal done through my GP?
As far as we are aware most of the local GPs do not do ear wax removal anymore but you may of course inquire with your GP prior to booking with us.
