Same-day ear wax removal
Ear wax is a perfectly normal secretion of the ear canal which is important to our ear’s functions. As our ears self-clean, this wax will naturally be pushed out which means, for the most part, ear wax should be left alone. However, in some cases, excess build-up can occur which requires professional ear wax removal.
As excessive wax can lead to pain and discomfort, and sometimes, hearing loss, it’s important to remove any old wax that is causing these issues in order to provide immediate relief.
Ear wax removal should always be performed by a professional audiologist in order to guarantee a safe procedure and effective results.
Providing the highest standards of care
Ear Wax Removal
If no ear wax is present and removal is not needed, we will use your appointment time carry out a special test to assess middle ear function and check for any fluid or congestion that might be causing your “blocked up” feeling. Please note that the appointment fee remains applicable, as it covers the audiologist’s time and expertise.
If a follow-up appointment is required, you will be charged a special reduced rate of £40.
We kindly request that you provide notice as soon as possible if you need to cancel. Since the appointment fee covers the audiologist’s dedicated time reserved for you, missed or late cancellations are non-refundable if you booked and paid over the phone. However, if you booked online, no payment is taken at the time of booking, and therefore no charge will apply.
Following ear wax removal you may notice temporary tinnitus; this should subside within a few hours or a few days.
