Earwax removal

Blocked ears, reduced hearing, ringing, or pressure can often be caused by ear wax build-up.

Microsuction is the safest and most effective method of ear wax removal when carried out by a trained professional.

Common symptoms of ear wax build-up

You may benefit from ear wax removal if you’re experiencing:

Blocked or muffled hearing
A feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear
Ringing or buzzing (tinnitus)
Hearing aids whistling or sounding blocked
Discomfort after using ear drops

Ear wax problems are very common and do not reflect poor hygiene.

Why microsuction?

Microsuction is now considered the gold-standard method of ear wax removal.

Unlike syringing, microsuction:

Does not involve water
Is precise and controlled
Is suitable for most adults
Allows direct visualisation of the ear canal

This makes it safer and more comfortable when performed correctly.

What happens at your appointment

Your appointment includes:

A brief discussion about your symptoms
Otoscopy (a detailed look inside the ear)
Microsuction ear wax removal if appropriate
A final ear check and clear explanation

If no wax is present, we’ll tell you — no unnecessary treatment.

Is ear wax removal safe?

When carried out by a trained audiologist using microsuction, ear wax removal is safe and well tolerated.

We do not carry out treatment if:

The ear canal is inflamed or infected
There is a high risk of complications

Your safety always comes first.

Do I need ear drops beforehand?

In many cases, softening drops can help.

If drops are required, we’ll advise you clearly.
If not, treatment can often proceed immediately.
