What is included in professional ear wax removal?

Choosing a professional ear wax removal clinic should be about more than simply having wax taken out.

At Littleborough Ear Care, your appointment includes an assessment of your ears and consideration of the most suitable treatment method.

We offer two methods:

1. Microsuction ear wax removal

Microsuction uses gentle suction to remove ear wax under direct vision. It is a dry procedure and does not involve flushing water into the ear.

It can be particularly useful for people who have previously experienced problems with ear irrigation or who are unsuitable for water-based treatment.

2. Ear irrigation

Ear irrigation uses a controlled flow of water to help remove ear wax from the ear canal.

It is a well-established method, but it isn't suitable for everyone. Your ears will be assessed beforehand to help determine whether irrigation is appropriate.

Having both microsuction and irrigation available means we can consider more than one treatment option rather than relying on a single method for everyone.

Is microsuction more expensive than ear irrigation?

Some clinics offer only microsuction, while others provide ear irrigation. Prices can differ between providers, so it's worth checking exactly what is included before booking.

At Littleborough Ear Care, we offer both methods for the same advertised price of £60 for both ears.

The most appropriate method depends on your ears, your medical history and the amount and position of the wax. The aim is to choose a suitable treatment, not simply the most expensive one.

Why choose a professional ear wax removal clinic?

Ear wax is completely natural and helps protect your ears. However, sometimes it builds up and causes problems.

Common symptoms include:

Muffled or reduced hearing.
A blocked or full feeling in the ear.
Ringing or buzzing (tinnitus).
Discomfort or irritation.
Problems using hearing aids.

Not every blocked ear is caused by wax, which is why having your ears assessed is important.

Avoid trying to remove impacted wax with cotton buds or other objects, as these can push wax further into the ear canal.

How should I prepare for my ear wax removal appointment?

In some cases, softening ear wax before your appointment can make removal easier.

We generally recommend using an appropriate olive oil ear spray, such as Earol, twice daily for 2–3 days before your appointment, unless you've been advised not to use ear drops or sprays.

If you have a history of ear problems, a perforated eardrum, previous ear surgery or any concerns about using ear drops, please contact us for advice first.
