🔍 Top 10 Most Asked Questions About Ear Wax Removal
1. Why does ear wax build up?
Ear wax (cerumen) protects your ear canal, but it can build up due to:
Age-related changes
Using hearing aids or earbuds
Overuse of cotton buds
Narrow or hairy ear canals
A wax blockage can lead to muffled hearing, pain, or dizziness.
2. How do I know if I need wax removed?
Common signs include:
Muffled or reduced hearing
Fullness in the ear
Ringing or buzzing (tinnitus)
Dizziness or itching
3. Can I remove ear wax at home?
We advise against DIY removal. Cotton buds and ear candles can push wax deeper or cause injury. Softening drops (like olive oil) may help, but professional removal is safest.
4. What methods do you use for ear wax removal?
We offer:
Microsuction – a dry, safe method using gentle suction
Irrigation – low-pressure water flushing
Manual removal – with specialised tools
Our specialists assess the best method for your ear condition and wax type.
5. Is microsuction safe and does it hurt?
Microsuction is:
Pain-free for most people
Safer than syringing or candling
Carried out under direct vision using a microscope or loupe
You might hear a slight “suction” noise, but the procedure is quick and comfortable.
6. How should I prepare for an appointment?
We recommend using olive oil or ear wax softening drops for 2–3 days before your appointment. This makes the process quicker and easier—especially for hard or compacted wax.
7. How long does ear wax removal take?
Appointments usually take 15–30 minutes, depending on the wax type and whether one or both ears are affected. If needed, we offer free follow-up appointments.
8. How often should I get ear wax removed?
Some people need treatment every 6–12 months, especially those who:
Use hearing aids
Have chronic build-up
Work in dusty/noisy environments
9. Do you offer home visits?
Yes! We offer home ear wax removal across:
Epsom
Reigate

Perfect for patients with limited mobility, busy schedules, or who prefer the comfort of home.
