Safe, professional earwax removal in London
Relief from blocked ears, muffled hearing and ear pressure that can be associated with wax build-up. Qualified clinicians, gentle methods and ear wax removal near you.
What is earwax removal?
Earwax is natural and healthy — it protects and cleans the ear canal. Sometimes, though, it builds up or hardens and can be associated with reduced hearing and discomfort. Professional earwax removal safely clears that build-up so your ears feel comfortable again.
At EarWax London, every appointment starts with an examination. Your clinician then recommends the most appropriate method — you are never rushed, and you can ask questions at any point. Looking for ear wax removal near me? We have clinics right across London.
Signs of earwax build-up
These symptoms can be associated with a blockage. If any sound familiar, book a professional assessment.
Blocked or full ears
A feeling that your ear is plugged or under pressure.
Ringing (tinnitus-like)
Ringing or buzzing that some people notice with a blockage.
Muffled hearing
Sounds seem dull or distant, which can be associated with wax build-up.
Discomfort or ache
Mild discomfort, itching or a dull ache in the ear.
Ear pressure
A sense of fullness or pressure that will not clear.
Dizziness or imbalance
Occasional light dizziness that may ease once wax is cleared.
How your appointment works
Most earwax removal appointments take around 30 minutes from start to finish.
Ear examination
We begin with video otoscopy so you can see the blockage and we can choose the safest method for you.
Gentle removal
Using microsuction, irrigation or fine instruments, your clinician removes the wax carefully and comfortably.
A clear check
We re-examine the ear canal to confirm it is clear and talk you through what we found.
Aftercare advice
Simple, personalised tips to help keep your ears comfortable between appointments.
Ways we remove earwax
Your clinician recommends the most appropriate method after examining your ears. Both ears are treated in a single appointment.
Microsuction
Our most popular method. A fine, low-pressure suction device is used under a microscope to lift wax away — no water, no mess.
Manual Instrument Removal
Fine, specially-designed instruments remove wax under bright magnification. Ideal for delicate or narrow ear canals where suction is not suitable.
Ear Irrigation
A modern, controlled take on traditional flushing. Warm water at a regulated pressure gently clears softened wax from the ear canal.
Ear Syringing
The method many people know. We offer it carefully and only where appropriate — for many, microsuction is now the preferred, cleaner option.
Your safety comes first. If, after examining your ears, we find there is no wax to remove, we will tell you — and the appointment is on us. We never make guarantees about outcomes; we simply provide careful, professional care.
