Ear Wax Removal – Frequently Asked Questions

What type of ear wax removal do you offer?

We provide safe and gentle microsuction ear wax removal, a precise method that allows us to view the ear canal throughout the procedure.

Do I need a GP referral for ear wax removal?

No. You can book a private ear wax removal appointment directly with us — no referral required.

How do I know if I need ear wax removal?

Common signs include a blocked sensation, reduced hearing, muffled sounds, discomfort or pressure. A video otoscopy check confirms whether wax is present.

Is microsuction ear wax removal safe?

Microsuction is widely recognised as a safe method because it does not use water. We assess your ears before beginning to ensure the procedure is suitable for you.

Does ear wax removal hurt?

Most people find microsuction comfortable. You may hear the suction noise or feel slight pressure, but it is not typically painful.

How long does an ear wax removal appointment take?

Appointments usually take around 20–30 minutes, including your medical history and before-and-after video otoscopy.

What if all the wax can’t be removed in one appointment?

If it’s unsafe to remove all the wax at once, we may soften it and arrange a follow-up appointment at no extra cost.

Can I have ear wax removal if I have tinnitus?

Yes. Many people with tinnitus can safely undergo microsuction, and we assess your ears first to determine whether it’s suitable.

How often should I have ear wax removed?

This varies from person to person. Some rarely need removal, while others experience regular build-up. We can advise based on what we see during your appointment.

Do you offer a hearing check after wax removal?

Yes. Once the wax has been safely removed, we offer a complimentary hearing check to ensure everything is functioning as expected.
