Could Ear Wax Be Causing Your Symptoms?
Ear wax can cause several different symptoms. An examination is the only reliable way to confirm whether wax is the problem.
- Blocked or muffled hearing
- A feeling of pressure or fullness
- Earache or discomfort
- Ringing or buzzing
- Dizziness
- Hearing aids sounding quieter or whistling
These symptoms can have causes other than wax. If we do not find wax, we’ll explain what we can see and advise you on the appropriate next step.
What Happens During Your Appointment?
1. We examine your ears
We’ll ask about your symptoms and relevant ear or medical history, then examine both ears using video otoscopy.
2. We explain your options
If wax is present, we’ll explain which removal method is most suitable. This may be microsuction, irrigation, manual removal or a combination of methods.
3. We remove the wax
Treatment is carried out while your ear canal is viewed directly. Most people find it comfortable, although microsuction can sound quite loud inside the ear.
4. We check your ears again
Once treatment is complete, we’ll examine your ears again and show you the result on screen. We’ll also provide any relevant aftercare advice.
Please allow around 30 minutes for your appointment. The actual treatment may take considerably less time.

Why Ear Wax Removal Should Be Performed by a Qualified Audiologist
Ear wax removal should only be carried out by appropriately trained professionals. As HCPC-registered audiologists, we are trained to assess ear health, identify conditions where wax removal is not appropriate, and adapt treatment safely. This level of clinical judgement is essential to avoid injury to the ear canal or eardrum.
At Wigan Hearing, we provide safe and effective ear wax removal using advanced microsuction and gentle syringing techniques. Our HCPC-registered audiologist ensures every appointment is comfortable and tailored to your needs. Many patients combine their wax removal with a hearing test in Wigan to check their overall ear health. If you’d like more guidance on the medical side of ear care, the NHS earwax advice offers useful information on symptoms and treatment options.
At Wigan Hearing we provide a daily ear wax removal service at our well established and hi-tech audiology clinic. We have easy access on site parking right by the door for those with limited mobility. Click here for directions and where to find us.

Safer Ear Wax Removal
Additionally, we offer follow-up consultations for our ear wax removal patients to ensure ongoing satisfaction.
Safety is paramount. Microsuction is the preferred method of treatment for guaranteed effective removal of ear wax for some people, others may prefer irrigation. We will discuss the different methods available at your appointment, talking through the benefits and suitability of different methods so that you feel comfortable every step of the way.
Ear Wax Removal is typically totally comfortable and usually the blockage is removed in minutes. Sometimes we may use a combination of methods to ensure all the wax is removed.
Occasionally it can take more than one visit to remove all the wax, if this is the case then the second visit is totally free of charge.
It’s wise to trust a fully qualified Hearing Aid Audiologist with additional training in aural microsuction ear wax removal. I am registered with the HCPC, BSHAA and fully insured.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ear wax removal painful?
Most patients find the procedure comfortable. You may hear suction noise or feel some movement inside the ear, but we’ll explain what is happening and can pause at any point.
Which method do you use?
We offer microsuction, irrigation and manual removal. The method used depends on the type and position of the wax, your ear health and your medical history.
Do I need to use olive oil first?
Follow the preparation instructions provided when you book. Softening hard wax beforehand can make removal easier, but drops may not be appropriate for everyone.
Can you treat both ears?
Yes. We can examine and, where appropriate, treat both ears during the same appointment.
How long does an appointment take?
Please allow approximately 30 minutes, although treatment itself may be quicker.
Do you see children?
Yes. We provide appointments for children aged five and over as well as adults.
What happens if the wax cannot be removed?
We will not force wax out if it cannot be removed safely. We may advise further softening and arrange a follow-up appointment.
Can I have my hearing checked afterwards?
Yes. We also provide comprehensive hearing assessments at our Standish clinic. Ask us about arranging a hearing test if your hearing does not return to normal after the wax has been removed.
