EAR WAX REMOVAL
Microsuction is the preferred method for safe and effective ear wax removal.
HEARING SCREENING
Following wax removal, a hearing screening will determine if there is any hearing loss and if additional treatment is necessary.

Various techniques can be used alone or in combination to remove wax or foreign objects from an ear canal.
We offer microsuction, irrigation, and instrumentation for earwax removal. Our experienced audiologists will assess your ear canals, medical history, and the nature of the material in your ear to determine the most suitable technique. We will explain the chosen technique before proceeding with the procedure. Visit our Cheshire clinic for a comprehensive earwax removal service.
Due to the limited NHS service, it may be difficult to secure an appointment. Contact us today for more information or to book an appointment with our audiologists who are ready to assist you with your hearing needs.
Microsuction
Microsuction is our preferred technique for wax removal. Using a video endoscope, or a binocular operating microscope which allows depth perception and magnification makes it easier to look into the ear canal. Using a sterile suction device at a low pressure we gently remove the wax in a safe and comfortable manner.
Occasionally we may need to use other techniques to remove hard wax. Using a microscope allows us to always see what we are doing and avoid touching the inside of the ear canal which makes the process safer and more comfortable.
Irrigation
Ear irrigation is an ear cleansing method to remove a build-up of earwax. An ear irrigator is used, rather than a metal syringe, to reduce the risk of damaging the ear. During the procedure, a controlled flow of water is introduced into your ear canal to clean out any material.
While irrigating your ear our hearingcare professional may hold your ear at different angles to ensure the water reaches all parts of your ear canal.
We do not recommend ear irrigation for people with certain medical conditions and those who have had eardrum tube surgery.
