If you’re struggling with blocked ears, muffled hearing, or a constant feeling of fullness in your ears, you’re not alone – and you’ve come to the right place. At Wigan Hearing, we specialise in safe, gentle, and effective ear wax removal, serving patients from Wigan, Standish, Shevington, Orrell, Chorley, and beyond.
But we don’t just remove ear wax. We raise the bar for what you should expect from an ear care clinic.
What Is Ear Wax and Why Does It Matter?
Ear wax (also known as cerumen) is a natural substance produced by glands in your ear canal. It acts as a protective barrier, trapping dust, debris, and even bacteria. Normally, ear wax works its way out of the ear naturally – but sometimes, it builds up and causes problems like:
Hearing loss
Earache or pressure
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Itchiness or irritation
Dizziness or imbalance
DIY treatments like cotton buds or ear candles often make things worse – pushing wax deeper, damaging the canal, or even causing infections. That’s why professional removal is so important.
Why Choose Wigan Hearing for Ear Wax Removal?
At Wigan Hearing, we offer professional, pain-free ear wax removal using the latest clinical techniques, including microsuction, irrigation, and manual removal. Unlike many local providers, we don’t cut corners – we take your hearing seriously.
Here’s what sets us apart from the rest in Wigan and the North West:
We’re Fully Qualified & Regulated
Our lead audiologist, Darren Glancey, holds an FdSc and BSc (Hons) in Audiology, is a Fellow of BSHAA, a board director, and a member of HCPC, AIHHP, and BSHAA – with over 10 years of experience. You’re in safe, skilled hands.
We Use Hospital-Grade Equipment
Our clinical-grade diagnostic tools and high-definition otoscopy let us safely identify blockages and remove wax precisely – even if it’s deep or impacted.
We Don’t Rush Appointments
Your hearing deserves more than a 5-minute check. We take the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and ensure the wax is fully removed and your ears are healthy.
We’re Independent and Local
No scripts. No sales pressure. Just honest, expert care from a local, family-run clinic in Standish, serving the wider Wigan borough and surrounding areas.
How Do We Remove Ear Wax?
We tailor our approach to your individual needs. Our three main techniques are:
Microsuction – The gold standard. We gently suction wax from the ear canal using a specialist medical vacuum.
Irrigation – A controlled, warm water flush to dislodge soft wax.
Manual removal – Using specialist tools for wax near the entrance of the canal.
We’ll explain each method and choose the safest option for your ears.
Local, Trusted, and Recommended in Wigan
Don’t just take our word for it. We’ve helped hundreds of patients across Wigan, Chorley, Appley Bridge, Aspull, Hindley, Leigh, Atherton, and Skelmersdale get relief from blocked ears.
We regularly hear things like:
“I can hear again! So professional and friendly – much better than the pharmacy down the road.”
– Jane, Wigan
“I tried another local place and they rushed me in and out. Wigan Hearing took the time to make sure both ears were clear. I won’t go anywhere else now.”
– Mike, Standish
