How to book your ear wax removal
These appointments last between 15 and 20 minutes. Our GPs provide these services in all clinics as well as our Audiology Team in our Newry Clinic. Our Audiology team will only undertake ear wax removal in those 18 years or over.Â
Ear wax is usually removed by gentle Ear Microsuction. Irrigation is also used for stubborn wax & manual removal can be used in cases of resistant debris.
Our Audiology team have years of experience in the removal of ear wax, conducting formal hearing test assessments and in the dispensing & maintenance of hearing aids.
How much does this cost?
Charge: Cost £50 for 1 or 2 ears.
You have access to discounted follow-up appointments with our GPs after this appointment by telephone, video or face to face in clinic.
How do I know I need ear wax removal?
You may have been told by an audiologist, GP or nurse that your ears need attention. Otherwise some of the symptoms you may experience are:
- Discomfort or infection as wax builds up pressing against the canal – like having a stone in your ear
- Sudden partial/full hearing loss – particularly obvious after swimming
- A full feeling in the ears
- Itchiness in the ear canal
- New dizziness/imbalance
- Tinnitus – ringing/buzzing/noise in your ears
Is removing wax safe?
Very. Our clinicians are experienced. Wax is removed in a number of ways: microsuction, with instruments or with irrigation – depending upon what your ears need.
We use the most modern of equipment to observe your ear canals whist we clean them so we can see what we are doing.
If we can’t remove the wax on the day and another session is required, your follow up will be free of charge.
Can I get an appointment in the evening or weekend?
Our clinicians undertake ear wax removal during the working week but also have appointments until 9pm weekdays and at weekends, dependent on availability.
Mum can’t get to clinic – can you help?
We provide domiciliary services to nursing & residential environments as well as clients’ own homes. The cost of this service is nominally more due to the time required..
Use qualified & indemnified clinicians
Every which way you turn someone else has been trained in ear wax removal.
Often non-clinical and unregulated staff are popping up inside pharmacies, shops & supermarkets with the minimal of training. We have all heard the saying ‘stick nothing in your ear smaller than your elbow’ this should be extended to include ‘and let no one into your ear who doesn’t know what they are doing.’
Incorrect work on an ear can cause infection, trauma and damage including loss of hearing.
Gentle ear wax removal
Microsuction as standard.
Our experienced audiologists & GPs have decades of experience in looking after the health of your ears & protecting your hearing. All audiologists are qualified to the current UK & Irish standards and registered with either BSHAA, ISHAA and/or the HCPC.

Our audiologists undertake ear care only for those 18 years and over.Â
At the start of Covid-19 NHS GP Surgeries stopped providing ear wax removal services. This has led to an increase in qualified & non-qualified providers taking advantage of this gap in care provision. It remains difficult to get timely appointments in General Practice for ear wax removal & subsequently the hospital service is also oversubscribed.
If you are worried about your health, speak to a Duality Healthcare Doctor first. They can guide you to what needs done.
All our GPs have been trained in the UK, NHS experienced & attained Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners.
