About Ear Wax Removal in Reigate
Ear wax (cerumen) is a natural protective substance that traps dust and bacteria, keeping the ear canal clean and healthy.
Sometimes it can build up, causing discomfort, blocked hearing, tinnitus, dizziness, or a sense of fullness in the ear.
Professional removal prevents these problems and avoids the risks associated with cotton buds or ear candles, which can push wax deeper or damage the ear canal.
Our Reigate clinic offers a clinical and evidence-based approach to ear wax removal using microsuction — a gentle suction method that clears the ear safely without introducing water.
Microsuction Ear Wax Removal
Microsuction uses a small medical suction device and a high-definition microscope to remove wax precisely and safely. The procedure is quick, comfortable, and suitable for all patients, including those with a history of ear infections, perforated eardrums, or hearing aids.
Unlike traditional syringing, microsuction does not use water, which significantly reduces the risk of infection or dizziness.
According to a study published in the British Medical Journal, microsuction achieves a higher rate of complete wax clearance with fewer complications compared to irrigation techniques.
The process is simple:
-
The clinician examines the ear canal using magnification.
-
Soft suction is used to gently extract the wax.
-
The ear is checked again to confirm full clearance.
Patients often notice immediate improvement in hearing and relief from pressure or discomfort.
Professional Ear Wax Removal
Professional ear wax removal ensures complete safety and accuracy. Every procedure is carried out by trained specialists using sterile medical instruments in a controlled environment.
This clinical precision prevents injury to the delicate ear structures and offers fast symptom relief.
Research from ENT & Audiology News highlights that professional microsuction by experienced practitioners significantly reduces the recurrence of wax impaction compared with self-administered methods.
If you’ve tried olive oil drops or home kits with no success, professional microsuction offers a fast and dependable solution.
Symptoms of Ear Wax Blockage
Ear wax build-up can cause a range of symptoms, including:
-
Muffled hearing or sudden hearing loss
-
Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
-
Earache or a feeling of pressure
-
Dizziness or imbalance
-
Itching inside the ear
If you notice any of these, it’s best to book an assessment before the problem worsens.

-
Immediate improvement in hearing
-
Safe for people with ear infections or perforations
-
No water involved

Precise, controlled suction under direct vision

Frequently Asked Questions — Ear Wax Removal Reigate
Do the NHS do free ear wax removal?
Many NHS GP practices no longer provide ear wax removal as a free service. In most areas, patients are advised to use olive oil drops or to seek private treatment. The NHS website states that ear irrigation or microsuction is now classed as a non-essential service in primary care. At our Reigate clinic, private ear wax removal is available with minimal waiting times and performed by qualified specialists.
How do I unblock my ear full of earwax?
If your ear feels blocked, avoid using cotton buds or inserting objects into the ear canal, as this can push the wax deeper and cause injury. The safest approach is to use a few drops of olive oil for several days to soften the wax. If symptoms persist, book a professional microsuction ear wax removal appointment. Microsuction clears the blockage immediately and safely without using water or causing discomfort.

A review published in ENT & Audiology News confirmed that microsuction significantly reduces the chance of ear infections compared with irrigation.
How long does an ear wax removal appointment take?
A typical microsuction session lasts about 15 to 30 minutes. This includes a short consultation, ear examination, and removal procedure. Most patients notice an immediate improvement in hearing once the wax is cleared.

Yes, ear wax removal can be safely performed for children, depending on age and cooperation. Microsuction is gentle and allows the clinician to remove wax precisely without using water. Parents should discuss the procedure in advance so the child knows what to expect.
How often should I have ear wax removal done?
Frequency varies between individuals. Some people need annual treatment, while others may require it every few months if their ears produce more wax.
