Safe, comfortable and instant ear wax removal in Hitchin, Harpenden and Luton
Earwax is not a bad thing. It is actually a protection mechanism for the ear canal. The problems only arise when there is too much produced in the ear canal. There are some signs that you can look out for that will give you a clearer idea of whether you have excess earwax. They are
- A feeling of fullness in the ear.
- The sensation that everything you hear is muffled.
- Mild Tinnitus (a ringing in the ear).
- Sudden hearing loss after swimming or showering.(Earwax is like a sponge, it soaks up the water and expands within the ear canal, completely blocking it.)
If you are suffering any of the symptoms listed, it might be time to book an appointment.

Our Earwax Removal Services
Micro-suction Ear Wax Removal
Ear cleaning by micro-suction is the safest method of earwax removal available. No mess, no fuss, just instant relief from the symptoms of ear wax blockage.
Why Microsuction?
Irrigation Earwax Removal
We also provide earwax removal with irrigation for people who are more comfortable with it. The procedure is a lot like ear syringing, but much safer.
We use a special Irrigation machine, which is commonly used in the medical setting. The irrigation solution is carefully warmed to body temperature, as dizziness can be a common side effect of ear washing or syringing with solutions that are colder or warmer than body temperature.
We use the irrigation machine to gently stream water into the ear. The procedure is simple, the water flows along the roof of the ear canal. The irrigation solution flows out of the canal along its floor taking wax and debris with it.
Manual Earwax Removal
Sometimes it is as easy as catching the wax with a manual tool such as a curette or a forceps. Often, we will undertake some sort of manual removal as part of irrigation, or microsuction ear wax removal.
