Safe & gentle ear wax removal at a clinic near you
Ear wax removal should always be conducted by a qualified medical professional. We do not recommend using over the counter solutions to manually syringe your ears or using hopi ear candling. Microsuction is recognised as the safest and gentlest method to remove wax from the ear canal. It involves placing a suction tube into the ear canal to gently suck the wax out. There is no water involved, is a completely dry procedure and can be done on ears that are not suitable for irrigation/syringing at the GP.
Irrigation is the use of a controlled flow of water to flush out wax from the ear. It is safer than manual syringing which is now a banned practice in the UK. Irrigation can be particularly useful for very deep wax. Your audiologist should make the most appropriate recommendation on how to remove the wax.
Our associated clinicians are all registered with the HCPC. They have all undertaken training, and achieved competency in wax removal and should luse best practice procedures to ensure you walk away a happy and satisfied customer.
