Our Services
We offer a full range of safe, effective earwax removal techniques performed by trained clinicians in Leicester and across Leicestershire.
Pricing
Microsuction
Microsuction is widely regarded as the safest and most effective method of earwax removal. Using a fine suction probe and an endoscope for a clear view of the ear canal, our clinicians gently remove earwax without the need for water. The procedure is quick, precise, and suitable for most patients.
Key Points
- No water used — safe for perforated eardrums
- Clear endoscopic view throughout the procedure
- Takes approximately 15–30 minutes
- Immediate results in most cases
- Suitable for impacted or hard wax
Irrigation
Ear irrigation uses a controlled flow of warm water to gently flush earwax from the ear canal. This method is effective for softer wax and is a well-established technique used by healthcare professionals. We recommend softening the wax with olive oil drops for at least 3 days beforehand.
Key Points
- Warm water used to flush the ear canal
- Comfortable and well-tolerated
- Best suited for softer wax
- Pre-treatment with olive oil recommended
- Performed by trained clinicians
Dry Tool Removal
In some cases, earwax can be removed manually using specialist instruments such as a Jobson Horne probe or wax hook. This technique is used when wax is positioned in a way that makes it accessible without suction or irrigation, and is always performed under direct visualisation.
Key Points
- Uses specialist clinical instruments
- Performed under direct visualisation
- Suitable for specific wax presentations
- Quick and targeted removal
- Carried out by experienced clinicians

Before Your Appointment
It is highly recommended you use Olive Oil Ear Drops at least 3 days prior to your earwax removal appointment. Dispense 2–3 drops into the affected ear(s) to soften the wax and ease the removal process. We recommend Earol Olive Oil, available over the counter at most pharmacies.
