What is Ear Wax?
Ear wax, or cerumen, is a natural substance produced by glands in the ear canal. It serves several important functions, such as trapping dust and foreign particles, providing lubrication to the ear canal, and possessing antibacterial properties that help prevent infections. Though it is essential for ear health, an overproduction or improper cleaning can lead to complications.
Signs You May Have Ear Wax Build-Up
Excess ear wax can cause a blocked or full sensation in the ear, reduced hearing, itching, discomfort, tinnitus or problems with hearing aids.
These symptoms can also have other causes, so we examine your ears before deciding whether wax removal is appropriate.

FAQs
What are the signs of ear wax build-up?
Ear wax build-up can cause reduced hearing, a blocked or full sensation, earache, tinnitus or dizziness. These symptoms can also have other causes, which is why we examine your ears before deciding whether wax removal is appropriate.
Is ear wax removal painful?
Ear wax removal should not normally be painful, although some people can find parts of the procedure uncomfortable or microsuction quite loud. We explain what is happening throughout treatment and can pause if you experience discomfort. NHS sources describe professional wax-removal procedures as usually painless.
What ear wax removal methods do you offer in Standish?
We offer microsuction, electronic irrigation and manual ear wax removal. We examine your ears first and choose the method, or combination of methods, most appropriate for your ears.
How much is ear wax removal in Standish?
Ear wax removal costs £40 for one ear or £60 for both ears. If no wax removal is required, you only pay the £20 ear health check fee.
Do I need to soften the wax before my appointment?
Sometimes. Softening drops can help when wax is particularly hard or impacted. The NHS advises olive or almond oil for softening wax, but drops should not be used if you have a perforated eardrum unless appropriately advised.
