Earwax Removal

Safe, gentle microsuction wax removal

Blocked, muffled or uncomfortable ears? Our trained clinicians remove stubborn earwax quickly and comfortably by microsuction — with immediate relief and no messy syringing.

What is microsuction?

Microsuction is the safest and most comfortable way to remove earwax. Using a gentle suction device and a microscope to see clearly inside your ear canal, our clinician lifts the wax away — no water, no flushing and no mess. It’s quick, controlled and suitable for almost everyone, including people with perforated eardrums or a history of ear problems.

Signs you may have a wax blockage

  • Muffled hearing or a feeling of fullness in the ear
  • Earache or discomfort
  • Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
  • Itchiness, or a whistling hearing aid that’s suddenly blocked
  • Dizziness or a blocked sensation that won’t clear

Why choose microsuction over syringing?

Unlike old-fashioned ear syringing, microsuction doesn’t force water into the ear, so there’s far less risk of infection or discomfort. Your clinician can see exactly what they’re doing throughout, which makes it both safer and more thorough — and you’ll usually walk out hearing clearly straight away.

Good to know

For very hard or impacted wax, we may ask you to soften it with olive-oil drops for a few days beforehand. We’ll always advise you when you book.

Most appointments take around 30 minutes.
