WAX REMOVAL

St Neots Only
How our ear wax removal service works

Before your appointment

To ensure a smooth and comfortable ear wax removal experience, it’s essential to soften the wax beforehand. We recommend using olive oil drops specifically designed for this purpose. Apply these drops once or twice a day in the affected ear for 5 days leading up to your appointment. This softens the wax, making it easier to remove without discomfort.

During your appointment:

1. Personalised consultation

Your appointment begins with a friendly chat with your clinician. They’ll take the time to understand your ear health concerns and any relevant medical history. This personalised consultation allows them to tailor the wax removal method to best suit your needs.

2. Discover your ear’s inner world

Next, your clinician will use advanced video technology to give you a fascinating glimpse inside your ear canal. You’ll have the unique opportunity to see firsthand the condition of your ear before any wax removal takes place. This visual insight provides clarity and helps you understand the process better.

3. Expert wax removal

With your comfort in mind, your clinician will skilfully remove any excess earwax using gentle techniques. Throughout the process, they’ll ensure you feel relaxed and at ease.

4. Hearing health check

To wrap up your appointment, your clinician will conduct a quick hearing health check. This ensures that your hearing is at its optimal level. If further assistance is needed, they’ll discuss appropriate next steps with you.

How we remove ear wax

At The Hearing Care Partnership, we offer the latest, safest methods of wax removal. During your appointment, your clinician will choose the most suitable method for you based on your level of wax build-up, as well as the condition and position of earwax within your ear.

1. Manual removal

If you only have a small amount of ear wax that’s built up near the entrance of your ear canal, manual removal is the best option. For this, a variety of tools may be used to safely remove wax from the ear canal.

2. Microsuction

The safest and cleanest way to remove ear wax from moderately blocked ears is the microsuction method. A probe is gently inserted then connected to a vacuum pump to suction out the excess wax from the ear canal.

3. Water irrigation

This is safer, gentler and more effective technology than the old “syringing” method.

With water irrigation, body temperature (37°C) water is used to flush debris out of the ear canal at a low pressure.

It’s ideal for removing larger quantities of ear wax.

How much does ear wax removal cost?

Our ear wax removal treatment is available for £70 for in-branch appointments with no extra hidden costs. That’s whether we have to remove ear wax from one ear or both ears.

How do I know if I need ear wax removal?

You may need ear wax removal if you’ve been experiencing any of these symptoms:

Lower or muffled hearing
A feeling of ‘fullness’ in the ears
Itchiness
Pain or earache
Tinnitus (noises being heard without external source e.g. ringing or buzzing)

If any of these symptoms sound familiar, then ear wax may be the cause. If so, you can book an appointment with one of our skilled clinicians who will be able to check your ears and remove any wax that may be present. They will also provide a hearing health check at no additional cost.
