Professional ear wax removal in London
Struggling with blocked ears? Are your ears feeling dry, itchy or painful? Experiencing earache or slight hearing loss? It’s likely that you have a build-up of excessive ear wax, which can be quickly and easily resolved with professional ear wax removal.
Harley Street Hearing offers safe and effective ear wax removal in London, performed by highly skilled clinical audiologists who specialise in microsuction and irrigation.
Our team of ear care practitioners are available for same-day ear wax removal, appointments from £80. To book, use the buttons below to call or book immediately online.
Using high-spec examination microscopes with x20 magnification, our audiologists can work safely in the ear canal with full visibility and depth perception. Using a gentle suction device, any moderate ear wax build-up can then painlessly be removed from the ear canal providing instant relief.
This method is not advised if you have an ear infection or history of ear infections.
Using a specialised ear irrigator, our audiologists gently apply a low-pressure flow of body-temperature water to the upper ear canal wall which slowly flows out, bringing the wax with it.
Same-day ear wax removal
Ear wax is a perfectly normal secretion of the ear canal which is important to our ears’ 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.

Ear wax removal should never be performed at home. Whilst it can be tempting, trying to pull the blockage out using your hands or a cotton bud can cause further damage and exacerbate the problem.
Quick, painless and immediately effective, ear wax extraction carried out by a professional is the best and only solution to providing relief. Get in touch with Harley Street Hearing to book an appointment at one of our London hearing clinics using the button below.
“Having had microsuction on numerous occasions from both private and NHS practitioners, some of which have included some fairly esteemed ENT consultant doctors – I can genuinely say that the care, attention and precision was without parallel. I will definitely be making a return visit to the clinic!” Arthur Woodward BA ACA

Ear Wax Removal
If no ear wax is present and removal is not needed, we will use your appointment time to 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.

This very much depends on the individual. Some patients have it removed every couple of years, others can be every 12 months. There are people that we see once and then they don’t need to come back at all.
