We offer safe, quick and highly skilled microsuction ear wax removal at our London clinic, performed by experienced audiologists.

Private ear wax removal in London

A small amount of ear wax is perfectly normal and there is generally no need to remove it, but sometimes it can build up, causing temporary hearing loss, pain or discomfort.

 It's important that you don’t try to remove the ear wax yourself as this can push the wax further into the ear and risk perforating your eardrum. We offer private ear wax removal with a skilled audiologist using microsuction – a safe and quick procedure recognised by experts as the most effective way to clear a build-up of ear wax.

Earwax removal: FAQs

Ear wax is naturally produced in our ears and is a combination of fats and oils that lubricates our ear canal. It traps dirt and repels water, preventing them from entering the ear canal and potentially causing an ear infection. 

We usually produce small amounts of ear wax and it falls out on its own. Sometimes, however, the wax can build up and compact within the ear canal. This can cause symptoms such as:

  • Blocked ears 
  • Dizziness 
  • Hearing loss
  • Itchiness  
  • Eczema
  • Earache 
  • Tinnitus - a ringing or buzzing in your ears

Microsuction is a procedure in which a specialist audiologist uses a very thin medical suction tube, accurately guided by an ear microscope, to safely and painlessly remove ear wax from the ear canal. No liquids are involved in microsuction, making the process less messy and safer than water-based irrigation.

If you’re looking for expert microsuction ear wax removal in London, we can help. We always recommend having a consultation with an ear specialist before beginning microsuction ear wax removal. Our clinical audiologist can examine your ears to make sure any accompanying symptoms - such as hearing loss or pain - are not being caused by other ear conditions. They are highly experienced and will always ensure the procedure is safe, quick and your ears are carefully looked after.  

Ear specialists, including the association for ear nose and throat doctors, ENT UK, consider microsuction to be the safest and most effective way to remove ear wax blockages.
