Preparation for your ear wax removal appointment
** Important – Please put olive oil or similar into both your ears before your visit (even if only one ear seems blocked), ideally for 2-3 days morning and evening. This will potentially make your treatment more pleasant and comfortable as well as reducing the chance of a return visit. We recommend Earol.
N.B. If you have a perforated eardrum, please speak to us or your healthcare professional first before applying oil.
Payment
We accept card and cash on the day, £40 for one ear and £60 for both ears, if the ears are clear with nothing to remove we charge £20 and will offer advice on alternative treatment.
We are a fully functioning audiology clinic, our service can include video examination of the ear canal, a hearing screening check, tympanometry to assess middle ear dysfunction, GP referral if needed, and / or general hearing advice.
Safety and Hygiene
We can provide you with hand gel and a disposable face mask on request. For our part we will wear disposable gloves, apron and mask etc during the procedure and make use of disposable consumables. We work to the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene.
NB If you would prefer us to wear a mask for the whole duration of your visit rather than just the actual procedure please just ask!
Our very experienced staff only use the very best equipment to offer all three main methods of ear wax removal (microsuction, irrigation and dry removal) to ensure a pleasant experience in a safe and professional environment.
If you feel ill please tell us beforehand, we can always rearrange an appointment!

So friendly, knowledgeable and didn't try to up sell hearing aids when I asked about a new pair. State of the art, clean and nice interior. Even having an appointment at 1800 they were still chatty and had a smile on their faces. Thank you for a pleasant visit.

I would highly recommend Darren to anyone with hearing requirements. Lynn Akkermans4 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simply the best! Excellent, professional and friendly service. My husband had a problem with his hearing and Darren found that a hearing aid dome was lodged in his ear due to incorrect fitting by a well known national company. Darren removed this dome very expertly and carefully. This was in addition to the ear wax removal we attended for!

Fantastic experience, I was quite nervous for my appointment but Darren was really reassuring, explained everything as he went along and happy to answer all my questions. Hopefully won't have any future issues but I wouldn't go elsewhere if I do Albert Pye13 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
