Earwax Removal
Need your earwax removed?
The safest and easiest way to get rid of excess or stubborn earwax is to see a professional. Alpha Clinics offer microsuction earwax removal services by our trained and accredited audiologists..
We charge £55 for one ear or £70 for both ears.
We do recommend that you use good quality olive oil or earwax spray and are used for at least 4 days before the Microsuction appointment, but not on the day of the appointment. The oil will help to lubricate the ear canal and will soften the wax to make it easier for the suction probe to extract.
What to expect at your wax removal appointment
Rest assured that our specially trained clinicians will use the safest method of wax removal to help you hear again.
- Your wax removal appointment will take approximately 30 mins.
- After asking a few questions to get a better understanding of the health of your ears, our clinician will examine your ear canals and ear drums by using an otoscope (magnifier with a light). They will record this information to help keep track of any changes in your ear over time.
- We’ll then talk you through the procedure and show you the equipment that will be used and explain how it works. You’ll need to sign a consent form before we remove any wax from your ears.
- Once you are happy to go ahead, our clinician will use a magnifier and suction tube to gently remove any wax that’s in your ear.
- After our clinician has performed the procedure, they will then check the health of your ears and record this information.
- If we are unsuccessful in removing any wax, we’ll advise you on your next steps.
