The method used at our Croydon clinic for earwax removal is called microsuction. During this procedure, the audiologist will wear a headlight and microscope to see exactly what they are doing inside your ear, while using a suction device at low pressure to gently remove the wax. Microsuction is painless, fast, effective, hygienic, and considered the safest method of removing wax from the ear. Unlike outdated methods such as syringing / irrigation, no water or high pressure is used, making it the gold standard method for earwax removal across medical practice.
All appointments with Croydon clinic are carried out by a fully qualified, registered and accredited audiologist, with both NHS and private healthcare experience in all aspects of hearing and ear care. This enables them to recognise and advise on any further problems you may have with your ear health, hearing, tinnitus or balance. Accreditation is with the Registered Council of Clinical Physiologists, the Health Care Professionals Council and the British Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists.

The over-production of ear wax is present in 1 in 15 in the UK and can sometimes be inaccurately assumed to be hearing impairment.
The excessive build up of ear wax is an entirely normal phenomenon to protect your ears from foreign bodies.
Ear wax is there for a reason. It keeps the skin of the ear canal healthy and normally works its own way out. Trouble starts when it builds up and blocks the canal: your hearing goes muffled, the ear feels full, and some people get itching, earache, ringing or dizziness.
Softening drops are the usual first step. The NHS suggests 2 to 3 drops of medical-grade olive or almond oil, 3 to 4 times a day for 3 to 5 days, unless you might have a hole in your eardrum. If the ear is still blocked after that, book in for removal with a clinic in Croydon.
Try not to dig the wax out with cotton buds or fingers. They tend to push it deeper and can scratch the canal, which makes it harder to remove. Our guide to the signs of ear wax build-up explains what to look out for.

Your appointment
Every clinic has its own way of doing things, and Croydon Clinic will talk you through theirs. This is how a typical ear wax removal appointment goes.
Some clinics suggest softening the wax with olive oil drops for a few days first, so ask when you book. Mention any ear surgery, a perforated eardrum or grommets.
The clinician asks about your symptoms, then checks both ears with an otoscope or a microscope before deciding how to remove the wax.
Microsuction is noisy but rarely painful. Some clinics use warm-water irrigation or a small instrument instead. Allow around half an hour.
Most people hear more clearly straight away. Brief dizziness or a little soreness usually settles quickly. Get help if you have pain, discharge, bleeding or worse hearing.
