Frequently Asked Questions

Earwax removal itself should not be painful. In some cases, if the earwax is heavily impacted, the procedure may feel slightly uncomfortable. We offer a wide range of earwax removal methods to ensure the most suitable option for your needs. After the procedure, we provide aftercare advice and materials to help you maintain healthy ears.

Yes, we offer four different types of earwax removal: microsuction, endoscopic microsuction, water irrigation, and manual removal.

Each method is suited to different needs. Microsuction, for example, is ideal for those who have had perforated eardrums or ear infections, while water irrigation may be more comfortable for those with healthy ears. Manual removal works best for particularly stubborn or hard earwax. We allow 30-minute appointments to ensure thorough removal and time to discuss any concerns.

Microsuction is a modern earwax removal technique that uses a small, medical-grade suction tube to gently remove earwax while the specialist views the process through a microscope. This method is highly favoured due to its safety and effectiveness, especially for those with a history of perforated eardrums or ear infections. During the procedure, you might hear some noises from the suction and feel a cool sensation from the instruments, but most patients find it hassle-free. It’s a dry procedure, meaning you can get back to your day as soon as it’s done.

Endoscopic microsuction is similar to traditional microsuction, but with the added benefit of using an endoscope (camera) to give a live, high-resolution view of the ear canal. This method allows the audiologist to perform the procedure with great precision, making it even safer and more efficient. We can even stream the process for you to see. This method is often preferred for its accuracy and comfort.

Water syringing, also known as irrigation, uses a gentle stream of body-temperature water to flush out earwax. The water breaks down the earwax, allowing it to flow out into a small container. Many patients find this method soothing, but it’s not suitable for those with a history of ear health issues, such as vertigo, perforated eardrums, or ear infections. Our audiologists will assess whether this method is safe for you before proceeding.

Manual removal involves using small instruments, such as forceps, alongside a microscope to gently extract earwax. This method is ideal for those with hard, stubborn earwax that doesn’t respond to oiling or other methods. It’s also a dry method, making it a good option for those who prefer not to use water. Because it produces no noise or vibrations, it’s also a great choice for individuals who may be startled by other methods.

At Hear4U, the cost of earwax removal starts at £40 for one ear or £70 for both. Home visits are also available for a flat fee of £120. We aim to provide cost-effective and high-quality care in a comfortable setting.

Earwax removal is no longer widely accessible on the NHS, and many patients are turning to private clinics for help. Going private ensures you receive timely, professional care. At Hear4U, our highly trained audiologists use the safest and most effective methods available to treat earwax buildup.

Yes, professional earwax removal is definitely worth it. Attempting to remove earwax at home can be dangerous and may lead to damage or infections. At Hear4U, our experienced audiologists use safe and effective techniques to clear earwax without harming your ears.

Neither method is inherently better than the other; it depends on your specific case. Microsuction is often preferred for people with a history of ear problems like perforated eardrums, while syringing can be a more comfortable option for those with healthy ears. Your audiologist will recommend the most suitable method for you based on your ear health.
