Ear Wax Removal at St John's Hearing Aid Centre

Clear, comfortable hearing starts with healthy ears.

Ear wax is a natural part of ear health, but sometimes it can build up and cause discomfort, reduced hearing, or even affect your hearing aids.

At St John's, our experienced, HCPC-registered audiologists offer safe, gentle ear wax removal, helping you hear clearly. This can be carried out at either our Edinburgh or Grange-over-Sands branch, or as part of our home visit service.

Why Choose Professional Ear Wax Removal?

Trying to remove ear wax at home can be tricky and often pushes wax deeper. Professional removal ensures your ears are cared for safely, using the latest techniques and equipment. At St John's, we provide two trusted methods: microsuction and irrigation.

  • Safe and Effective:
    Our audiologists use the latest techniques and equipment, including microsuction and irrigation, to remove wax gently and thoroughly which are far safer than home remedies.
  • Comfortable and Quick:
    Most appointments take between 20 and 30 minutes, and you'll notice the difference straight away.
  • Expert Care:
    We assess your ear health before and after treatment and can advise on ongoing ear care or any issues we spot.
  • Ideal for Hearing Aid Users:
    Regular wax removal can help keep your hearing aids working at their best.

What to Expect

  1. Initial Assessment
    We'll start with a quick check of your ears using a specialist otoscope to assess the wax and your ear health.
  2. Gentle Wax Removal
    Depending on your needs, we'll use microsuction (a gentle vacuum) or irrigation (a controlled, warm water flush) to remove the wax safely and comfortably.
  3. Aftercare Advice
    We'll check your ears again after the procedure and offer advice on keeping your ears healthy.
