How microsuction works
Signs you may need earwax removal
Book a home visit. Microsuction, a hearing check and a demo, all in one visit from £60.
Microsuction, drops or syringing?
Many GP surgeries no longer remove earwax, so more people are looking for a private service. Microsuction is a gentle way to remove wax with a tiny suction tube while the audiologist looks into your ear, so they can see exactly what they are doing. There is no water involved.
Ear drops can soften wax, but often do not clear a blockage on their own. Water syringing, which flushes the ear, is used less now. We only use microsuction.
Areas we visit
Earwax removal: common questions
How much does earwax removal cost?
From £60 for one or both ears, as part of your home visit. A second person at the same visit is £40.
Is the £60 home visit fee refundable?
No. The £60 home visit fee is charged for every visit, whether or not earwax removal is needed, and is non-refundable. It is not deducted from the price of hearing aids.
What is microsuction?
A gentle way of removing earwax with a tiny suction tube, while we look into your ear. There is no water involved.
Should I use drops first?
Your audiologist will advise when you book. Olive oil drops for a few days beforehand can help soften the wax.
Do you use water syringing?
No. We only use microsuction.
Is microsuction painful?
Most people find it comfortable. You will hear a sucking noise while it is done, and you can ask us to pause at any time.
How long does microsuction take?
Usually just a few minutes per ear. The whole visit, with a hearing check, takes up to an hour.
Can you remove earwax if I wear hearing aids?
Yes. Wax often causes whistling or stops hearing aids working well, so it is worth checking.
Do you treat children?
We remove earwax for adults aged 18 and over.
How do I know if I have earwax build-up?
Signs include muffled hearing, a blocked or full feeling, itching, ringing, or hearing aids that whistle. We look in your ears before removing anything.
Should I use cotton buds to clean my ears?
No. Cotton buds can push wax further in. If your ear still feels blocked, book microsuction.
Can I have earwax removed at your clinic?
Yes. Microsuction is £60 at our clinic in Shifa Pharmacy, 512–514 Moseley Road, Birmingham B12 9AH, Monday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm.
Do I need a GP referral for earwax removal?
No. You can book with us directly.
Can I get earwax removed on a Saturday?
Yes. We visit and see people at the clinic Monday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm.
Can you check my hearing at the same time?
Yes. Once your ears are clear, we can check your hearing at the same visit.
