Improve your hearing, improve your quality of life
Hearing loss due to impacted ear wax can have a great impact on the sufferer. Often with hearing loss, as well as normal conversations becoming difficult to negotiate, we also miss out on life's more delicate sounds, such as birds singing away in the trees. Ear wax can be removed quickly and safely here at our clinic, often in just one appointment. Book your appointment online today or send us a message using the contact form at the bottom of this page with any questions.
About ear wax
Ear wax (cerumen) contains antibacterial agents and plays a vital part in preventing infections in your ears. It also traps dust and other foreign bodies, as well as keeping the skin in your ears moisturised. Small amounts of ear wax are normal and healthy, and it usually works its way out of your ear naturally.
However, ear wax can sometimes block your ear. This is most commonly caused by it being pushed into the ear canal by a cotton bud or similar items people use to try to clean wax from their ears.
The ear is an extremely sensitive and delicate organ, so wax should only ever be removed by a trained, experienced professional – never try it yourself.
When is ear wax removal needed?
Impacted Earwax can causes any of the following issues:
• Earache
• Reduced Hearing
• Tinnitus (noise)
• Dizziness
• Hearing aids stop working or whistle
• Ear ache
• Trapped water
• Infection
If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, please contact the clinic to book an appointment.
What to expect
Micro-suction is carried out using a microscopic lens, giving a clear magnified view of the ear canal. A low pressure, medical suction unit is then used to gently remove wax from the ear.
Rarely, irrigation may be used, for patients who are unable to have microsuction.
IMPORTANT: To aid removal of the wax, olive oil drops (e.g Earol) should be used for 5-7 days before an appointment
Our ear wax removal services start at just £60. All treatments will be carried our by a fully qualified, experienced nurse, ensuring your ears are in safe hands at all times.
We have plenty of free parking for you to use.
